La robe très particulière su Sorraia, de couleur généralement grise, est une robe noire diluée par le gène sauvage «Dun» ou «red dun», avec une raie de mulet et des zébrures sur les membres. Cette robe est caractéristique des races primitives. Sa conformation n'est pas des meilleures. L'animal est cependant très robuste, il survit avec très peu de fourrage et résiste à des températures extrêmes. Les épaules sont droites, l'arrière-main faible et les membres assez longs avec une ossature pauvre, mais les pieds sont durs et sains. Il mesure entre 1,44 et 1,48 m; sa robe est isabelle ou souris, avec une raie de mulet et des zébrures sur les membres, et même parfois sur le corps; il a une grosse tête archaïque, profil busqué; les épaules droites; l'arrière-main pauvre et queue attachée bas et de longs membres grêles. 3, record 5, French, - sorra%C3%AFa

If you want to draw crowds for the long haul, I think you have to commit to the "labor of love" philosophy which means losing money for a while while the reputation builds, and event afterward only breaking even with minimal profit margins. If you see restauranting as an investment for profit, you’ll probably end up disappointing both yourself and your intended customers. The success of Starbucks is a good study : a coffee house with comfy chairs, chic-metro design, bistro ambiance. It made Dunkin Donuts feel like McDonalds. Design matters. The customer experience matters. 3, record 6, English, - restauranting
