(no offense to EVA) but I think HTobago is more "breed standard" for an arab conformationally. If I had to choose a horse for myself (between tobago and reggie) I'd probably pick reggie because his head is a little "dryer" as EVA said. They're very diffrent looking arabs and both are gorgeous (as for perfect breed standard though, I do think tobago is it) **no one take offense as your horses are both gorgeous!
I don't take offense at all but just to clarify Reggie's head is absolutely up to "breed standard". The more pronounced dish is because of halter horses. Here's a photo of Bay El Bey which Reggie is very linebred to. He's also one of the "greats" that top horses have in their pedigree. Notice that his head is very similar. Over the years the halter horses have bred for more dishy heads which has also started some controversy. Reggie actually has a more old style Arab head and it would not be counted against him.

Again, I don't take offense I just want to clarify to non Arab people that there are more than one "type" of head that are absolutely breed standard. Thank you Phnee by the way
