Flashy black stallion.....True Colours?

Postby Bondama » Mon Aug 03, 2009 8:24 am

Here is a link to a banner ad for what looks to be a true black stallion with 4 tall socks (not really stockings tho) and a nice blaze. The picture sucks, though.

Great find! Apropos this case, the phenotype of his dam was very interesting, not to mention much on the fact that she descends from a prolific lineage of white Thoroughbreds. Thanks.

I wish we had pictures of his first two dams!!!

He is a pretty boy.

Thanks Bondama! :) And yeah - I'd want to see a current picture of him as well, with no tack or rider on him ...

A true black with all that white is definately hard to come by!

Thanks again
