Buckskin in TB's

vineyridge · Postby **vineyridge** » Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:47 am

I've recently found a couple of TBs in the PQ database that are listed as Buckskin. On the JC database they are listed as "Light Bay".

Here's one:

Dilute or not? I can't see it from the pedigree.

I have forgotten who the other one was that I just found or what I was looking for when I found it.

Jorge? Others for comments?

My 2008 colt is by Guaranteed Gold and out of Badaboom and is a buckskin but listed as a "light bay" and boy oh boy was the State of Illinois up at arms with his color when they came out to do his inspection as a 4 day old colt!

Vineyidge,

Thank you very much for bringing up this valuable watch. Great find, especially since she is from the early 60s! Well, if she was also described as a "Light Bay" (JC), then seems like a solid case. Thanks again.

Perhaps Golden Broom was a palomino of the darker shade. Just a thought because of his name. Maybe his tail was blonde and looked like a golden broom...

My Pearlescent mare is a perlino. She had the DNA tests from UC Davis sent to the JC when her papers were being applied for SHOWING that she was genetically a perlino

What does the JC do in all of their infinite wisdom?

Because she sort of somewhat looks palomino or more like palomino than any other colour out there, they registered her as a palomino

So - now when she doesnt breed true to a palomino (which she wont! :roll:

) all sorts of red flags will go up ...

I wish that they would have damned well just registered her as bay instead

All the photos of Golden Broom that I have seen have been black & white, so it's hard to say what shade of chestnut he was. However, all show his mane & tail to be as dark as the rest of him.

He was certainly a sabino, though - four high jagged stockings & a big blaze.

Ah, here's a photo....thanks Google...

Some trivia: Golden Broom was the sale-topper at August Belmont's dispersal, fetching $15,000. Further down the price list at $5,000 was Man O' War.

:wink:

TrueColours,

I perfectly understand your concern. This perplexes because one would think that the hardest part would be to accept the palomino color, which has been accepted. If so, why delay the acceptance of the "buckskin" color and the rest of the terminologies, as "perlino" and the "cremello".

By the way, why not use the term "stained white" for including all those maculated threshold whites that confuse people into thinking they are (the wrongly so-called) "roans"?

Because nobody at the JC has any sense.

Of the horse in question it is impossible to tell without a picture but the pedigree does not go back to a known dilute although any of those unknowns certainly might have been esp. since the last female is a Darcy which may mean she had the same owner as Darcy's Yellow Turk which may mean nothing at all.
