The Arabian Mare and Stallion, the Morgan Mare and Stallion, and the Thoroughbred Mare were cast from 2 different molds, here referred to as mold 1 and 2
At the intoduction of the first Stablemates in 1975, the Arabian Stallion mistakenly was sold as the Citation model.
The one above factually comes from a black 'Citation' card, the one below might too, because it seems to have that early finish and, being a mold 1, it still lacks the stamp dot, but it could also very well be an early true Arabian Stallion.
