Thanks. The vet was out and he just shrugged and didn't think much of it. lol (he was out to see why she was not spitting out the kid ) She has now foaled and we shall see if the mark disappears once the nursing slows down or stops.
A friend bred her mare - Hillaryswinner - who has a half star as her only facial marking. She started developing another white marking just above her nostrils. It keeps getting bigger and there is also a small slash in one nostril. I saw her yesterday and a lot of the white mark has pink skin under ...
MattieCat thank you for the nice comments. I think he's pretty sweet looking as well but I know I'm 100% biased. :) Jorge :) I hope he helps add lots and lots of data to your studies. I know he's going to enjoy trying. He has a nice race mare lined up for next year (she's too young to breed this yea...
It's been a while since I've posted any pictures of my kid and I love the way he is growing up. It's finally been wonderful on the weather front so I decided to take advantage. Gatsby looks like a straight cremello but he is also a DW with about 40% white markings. Anybody familiar with Sato - his g...
Blue feather ....very pretty girl and I'm no expert either but she sure looks black to me. If you get her DNA tested and confirmed as black, the JC will register her as black. You may have to make a special request, but they are registering them more. All the best with your girl!
Blue Feather ...hard to say. I was reading that thread on black TB's and it doesn't seem like there are many. But is it because the JC has them reg'd as bays or browns? I have a feeling it is. But would love to see a picture of your girl!
As of last night it's 3 for 3. Another black TB colt with a big blaze and two white socks was born last night. Congratulations on the very nice run of little black kids this breeding year.
lol You guys made me feel much better ... I read and reread and couldn't figure out what I was missing. For that I thank you! I guess it doesn't help that the more they define the genes that produce specific colours or quirks ... the more confused I get. But I try, I really try. lol And I love Jorge...
summerhorse ... between that black ancestry thread and your reply, I want to go back to bed! :lol: Yes Gatsby is from the Puchilingui line and yes I am trying to learn more about DW and what it can and can't do .... but I still can't figure out the connect to that horse pedigree that was posted. But...
It looks like Direct's Unique One is a new mutation (without knowing his sire and dam and their markings) so it doesn't really matter who is in his back ground. He's no. 1 of the line. But ...this is where it gets confusing. I post a picture of my horse grown up. Jorge (I think) links him to anothe...
