I mean really here... as in on the farm... The mare owner is so pleased with the cross that she wants her pony mare bred back. Filly is two weeks old and chestnut going grey... Chestnut? Black doesn't have a chestnut in his pedigree for six generations... who would have known (last chestnut mare he was bred to had a black filly)...?

I'll post photos ASAP ;)

Mare owner saved you an expensive genetic test! Black is heterozygous black :) Congrats on the filly but please, share pictures when you get them!

:) No kidding... Just amazes me... I wonder which side of the family tree that red gene rode in on... I mean seriously six generations of not being expressed :o

Long story short... My filly took down three strands of electric fencing today (she is fine... crazy little Smooch) so I had to share/rotate the barn pasture with my mare and foal, the retired 30 year old Paso Fino (who can't be out on lots of grass... the fence partitioned off his sacrifice lot from our best pasture, and the pony mare and her foal... it was a busy day and no time for clicking pictures... The filly looks so much like the foal she had at her side last year... the only difference is a more dishy head with big poppy eyes, nicer shoulder/neck set and the blaze tapers off in the opposite direction than last years filly... I'll have photos soon :)

Hey CL...what color is the dam? She looks Perlino in the pics above, but then the filly couldn't be chestnut. Just curious!

She is grey... with VA red clay highlights ;) I'm pretty sure she is homozygous too... her owner told me all of her foals (I think four or five) have been grey... mind you the sire of the two before this one was a grey so chances were those two would be grey anyway.

She's so lovely! She's got the biggest eyes and such a great head. I don't blame her mom for bringing her back for a rebreed.
