Remarkably colored TB's

I mentioned Flame Thrower a while back. I was going through the Turf Online photo album and saw several good ones of him.

The attached photo really shows his gorgeous coloring.

[Fred]

wings, I have a technical (technical for me) question for you.. how do you do the links?
for example on my still underconstruction webpage, I would like to link to that thoroughbred heritage site that you provided, and also to some COTH articles (ie the Nasrullah, Royal Charger, Turnto one and Nearco horse of the Century) and just don't know how to do it. I've been meaning to ask you, because you are always so great at providing us with interesting links. thanks!

back on topic...sort of ... I just traded my terrific AQHA mare /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif.. for a gorgeous very light chestnut filly with a silver flaxen mane and tail)... her name is Flaxen, and I am in love!...
and the lady I traded with is going to breed my mare to her Palomino stallion, but has promised that I can continue to ride Jay any time I want. Since I haven't had time to ride, and she was just going to waste standing around, I think I made the right decision. Feeling a bit like Jack with a handful of beans! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Anyway, I'm totally silly about this filly, and for once in my life want to "play Barbies" (to quote Robby) with her.!
She's not a TB - but the plan is to breed her with A Fine Romance.... (still won't be TB , but more so !)

[domino]

there is a tb filly at the farm at home that is that color except i think that she is a little more red than that. she is really cute. my large pony was also that color but she was welsh x QH. i will attach some pics of her.

[Tin]

Fred, maybe I can help with the links. This is assuming your using an HTML format, if yours using a template or such just ignore me /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif Also might be different if your using a style sheet.....

To put a link using font (how they appear on this BB) use (minus the *'s of course):

<A HREF*="http://link-address-here.com"*> The words you want describing your link! <*/A>

To change the colour of the font for your links, up at the top of your sheet use a code like <*body link="#your colour number"> and remember to follow it up with a <*/body> at the bottom

Does that help?

That is the funkiest looking horse Wings! And what a suitable name! /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Did he have a decent race record? It would be awesome to have a horse like him win something like the Triple Crown eh?

[Fred]

it's all geek to me. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

back to the real topic. does anyone remember GM making a criticsm of chestnut horses with flaxen manes and tails? I think it was in his column in Practical Horseman - maybe last year.
It caused a bit of an uproar, if I remember correctly.
Personally, I think it is a beautiful colour combination. Stunning.

domino - knew it! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Were you there this weekend? I saw a couple of flaxens there.

[Priya]

I own the dam of Sato(the palomino sabino stud) but have a loud Spot Pocket filly.

They are lovely horses and I just love the dilute and spotted TB's. I however must say that I love Liz's horses, the horses at Gestut Falkenhorst(in Germany) and would love to have some coloured warmbloods in my barn too.

Okay I'll keep dreaming.....

[Heather]

WHen I was at Penn National looking at horses a few weeks ago I saw a lovely dark Palamino filly in one of the stalls. She was beautifully put together, and had a big blaze and four white socks. At least in her stall, she was sweet and friendly.

I told the lady I was looking with, "Man, if that one comes up for sale you should grab her, you could turn a profit on her in two seconds as these colored TB's are getting SOOOO popular."

And she laughed and said--"that one runs too well to even talk to the owners, and she's only a two-year old, but I'll keep it in mind."

So, there are a few of them out there running. She was really a cutie.

[PaulaM]

personally, until this Thoroughbred mare moved to our barn I had never seen one marked like her. Than I started to do some research, it is amazing as to the different colour patterns.

[Paula]

Paula M those are what I've always heard called "bloody shoulder" markings. I've never seen them in a TB, but you see it in Arabians and there are some very famous Appaloosas with this type of pattern.

[Anne]

Bloody shoulder marks in Arabs occur in flea-bitten grays, where for some reason a concentration of fleabites appear in one spot. It doesn't have to be the shoulder, and in theory it could occur in any breed although I have never seen a nonArab with a marking like this.

The TB mare in the picture is a sabino pinto; herroany markings just happen to be in that area. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Priya]

How do you support your statement that "The TB mare in the picture is a sabino pinto; her roany markings just happen to be in that area"???

I'm wondering cause it is clear that this mare is grey, I doubt has pink skin under that bloody shoulder marking and has 4 dark hooves which means she doesn't have any socks(they would then be white or multi coloured). To me she is a grey mare and not a sabino but I'm always open to being corrected.

I have a grey TB mare who has a bloody shoulder marking. She is my foundation mare and although I breed coloured horses(and we all know greys are not wanted then) I will keep this mare till the day she dies. My mares marking is more on her shoulder/neck though and seems to grow a bit more every year. When I bought her it was the size of a dime and now its more like the size of a mans hand!

Cute mare and neat markings.....I saw something similar on one other TB mare where it was on the body like that except that mare was grey with chestnut.

Sarah

[mwalshe]

with markings like that. One was a grapefruit sized blob on his neck/shoulder and the others were streaky lines on his wither areas.

He was a grey with brownish fleabites.

[hunt_jump]

There used to be a TB stallion who showed on the A circuit in the jumpers (I think he was showing in the Grand Prix and he may still be around as this was only about 2 years ago) that had markings that looked very similar to that mare's. I always wondered about it as he was very unusual looking.

[Spot]

Here is another TB mare that I came across that I REALLY liked and REALLY wanted to buy!
She has more of this weird coloring than I have ever seen before, but the bottom line is that she is STILL a grey, no matter which way you look at her, and greys are not a good idea when you are breeding for color.
So - no matter how funky her coloring was and how interesting she was as an acquisition, she would have been a bad choice for color production.

But - SO neat looking!

[Spot]

Here is Colorful Gambler who I believe is still alive and living and breeding in Australia.
Not real keen on his overall build and conformation - but you sure dont see many TB's that look like this!

but are all of these colored TB's full registered TB's?? some look a bit stocky. there was a horse (don't know if it is still alive) that was racing about 7 years ago that had 2 huge white spots, one on its belly and one on its flank. it was one of the stockier TB's so it looked like a quarter horse paint in the win pics. but it was full TB.

I have raised two Prince Stanley offspring and they are very nice. The four year-old showed in Arizona this past winter and did quite well. He came home with many ribbons including a couple of reserve champions.

[Priya]

diKecnadnuS yes all the horses have JC papers except Goldmaker(cremello) and Dream in Gold(palomino), but they are 100% TB lines.

I love the coloured TB's...I think it is fantastic that I can have a breed of horse as athletic as a TB, with their heart and jump yet have some really cool and funky colours! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

As an aside our cremello TB stallion went to his first show on the weekend.....drew a lot of attention and had many ppl asking his breeding. When the trainer said TB ppl were surprised cause they all expected warmblood(due to his movement and temperment). He is a cool boy and finnished 7th o/o over 20 horses so we are very happy with him /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Sarah

[CdnRider]

Ok, speaking of colored TBs, I think I may have one. He is a chestnut with 2 white socks and a blaze (I'll post a pic). I just got him in November and he'll be 2 this spring. As he's shedding out though, he's got a lot of roaning through the flank and a little through the barrel. He's also got two white lines (one above the other) at the base of his tail. And although he doesn't have JC papers, I do have papers proving his parentage and he is a full TB.

What is he? Just a chestnut with mild roaning or does his color have a name.

[Dunhorse]

CdnRider,

Your horses coloration is called Rabicano. The "coon striping" above the tail and the white hairs flecked throughout the flank are classic hallmarks of this coloration. Rabicano horses are not considered to be true roans, which must have dark points, a dark head, and evenly mixed white hairs throughout the body.

He is pure rabicano, with no sign of sabino markings, which would show up as white on the chin and jagged edges to the stockings.

God forbid that I should go to any Heaven in which there are no horses.
~R. Graham

[JB]

Dunhorse - I'm pretty sure a true roan doesn't HAVE to have evenly mixed white hairs through the body.

[Spot]

The true roan gene does NOT exist in the TB breed, so all of these roany looking TB's are sabino's or rabicano's but cannot be truthfully or accurately termed *roans".

This is the case where it may look like a duck, and quack like a duck, but it really ISNT a duck!

I have always thought he had the sabino gene he was never tested. When he gets cut, the hairs come back in white, he has roaning and jagged stockings AND white around the chin.

But if you go to http://www.colorworldranch.com then click on stallions she has the most amazing colored stallion Racey Remarque.

Last year I purchased a colt from her that was sired by Racey Remarque... a nice chestnut colt with belly white, white up his face and disconnected white on his stifle. If he wasn't in that ugly yak stage I would post a pic of him (well plus I would have to know how!). He is double registered JC and full APHA. He is just a yearling now and is SUPER sweet.

[Spot]

Of Johnny Onna Spot - taken over the weekend. He has just turned 1 year old on April 15th.
As he is shedding out his foal and winter coat, he is REALLY roany everywhere, and his belly spots have grown.

OMG Spot...

I have got to quit looking at pictures of that colt. I am truely in love. Does he really move as well as it looks like in pictures? I also really like his dam. Congrats on such a nice boy.

[Spot]

The ground was just starting to dry out, so was still kind of slippy and choppy, and he saw something in the far corner of the field, so was starting to lift his head up to look at it which shortened his stride.
I can only imagine in time, as he develops more, and has schooling started on him, how well he will move then.
I have his dam back in foal to Spot before he leaves for Colorado, so THAT's good news - I will get a full brother or sister to him next year!
If he isnt sold, I want to do the hunter breeding line classes with him, as well as the APHA halter classes and the yearling trail classes which I think will be a blast!
Thanks for the nice comments on him - I just LOVE this colt as well!

wish I could figure out how to post pics here, as someone may be able to identify what color pattern my TB mare was, some said tobiano, some sabino. I am not well versed enough in these color patterns to tell myself.

She was registered TB, and described as "bay with white flecks throughout coat". Now THAT was an understatement. Also, at 17.2, she was really an eye catcher-a stakes winner to boot. She was from two solid parents though, but also had quite a bit of Tetrarch.

[stegall]

ok-giving this a try, please don't laugh if I screw up. Also, the mare is a little thin in these pics. I took them when I picked her up, she was part of a package deal with some other (including the bay with her in the photo).

Also, I am NOT an expert in the specifics of those color catogories, and am going on what other APHA and app people have said to me. So-this will be "name that color". And, as an FYI, she had solid stripes on her belly, paint horse type stripes, as opposed to the spots on the rest of her. she also
had white through her mane underneath and into the sking....... /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[stegall]

yippee I did it! you don't have any idea what that took me to accomplish-I managed to figure out how to do it, only to have it reject my upload because it wasn't in text or image-had to figure out that one. For nontech me it was a feat. Thanks a whole bunch for the help Anne.

At any rate, here is a better shot from the other side. She also had white at the base of her tail, if it matters-underneath no less.

So-who gets to name that color???? She could also jump 6 ft easily (let me tell you about how she kept "leaving" the pasture), and won a black type stakes. She was by Baldos out of Marions Flower by Johns Joy. Her registered name was Not I.
She has a few foals on the ground-some racing.I don't know their colors.

[fleur]

What an awesome mare! Where in CT do you keep horses?

*EMMA*

[stegall]

Emma- I "keep" my horses anywhere I can find a stall to stuff them in /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Seriously, I am in Stafford CT, with some of my horses (4 mares) here with me, some in FL with my sister, and a few leased out to various people in MA and NY.

I have this unfortunate addiction to horses, which the doctors tell me I will never overcome, so my husband has to put up with me dragging animals home every so often.........

I never did figure out the proper color of this mare, so I referred to her as "the spotted monster". Being short, I had issues with trying to put a halter on a horse who has decided she is NOT going anywhere at this moment, and therefore will stand with her 17.2 head as far up in the air as she can get it. ACK!

For you followers of TB color, she has Tetrarch, and some other lines that I strongly suspect have color, however, would a color like this be dominant, recessive, or just plain-you aren't going to see that for another 3 generations? /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

I sent her to live with my sister, where she was put out in a large field, and promptly cantered up to the back fence, cleared it with ease, and left for the neighbors, where she jumped in with their horses. My sister pciked up the phone and asked me where I got the devil horse;har har har.....

by the way, you should have seen the vet trying to pencil in the markings on the coggins form /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

wish I could figure out how to post pics here, as someone may be able to identify what color pattern my TB mare was, some said tobiano, some sabino. I am not well versed enough in these color patterns to tell myself.

She was registered TB, and described as "bay with white flecks throughout coat". Now THAT was an understatement. Also, at 17.2, she was really an eye catcher-a stakes winner to boot. She was from two solid parents though, but also had quite a bit of Tetrarch.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sounds like either sabino roaning or rabicano roaning.

Stegall, I will be first to admit that you have me stumped. /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif Stegall, that is some WILD coloring on your TB mare. I don't think I've ever seen sabino that didn't include white on the legs and face.

If you hadn't mentioned she was TB I'd have guessed she was an Appy.

(or - the 2 cents worth from my genetic guru friend Julia who knows far more about these things than I do!) /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Hard to say what on earth she is, could be "just one of those things" with no explanation.... or maybe Birdcatcher Spots gone wild.... or
maybe "Chubari" on bay instead of the usual grey? Who knows.....
I don't think sabino, because of the lack of regular markings.

So - this is the first time I have heard of "Chubari" markings, but willing to learn something new about this whole color genetics thing!

She's stunning Stegall - is she still around? Julia thought that she had passed away a few years back ...

Stegall - I would love to see you go to the warmbloods.net board and ask on the Color Genetics forum what "color" your mare is - that is just way too cool!

Stegall, what a phenomenal looker! Thanks for posting that pic, it's incredible.

Finally I can post. I can read at work-but posting is not possible. I got home only to find that the changes to the board are not compatable to my sytem-I keep getting booted off after a million java script errors /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif I am going to be forced to buy a new computer I think, which I have been putting off because I have so much info to switch over, but my system is so very old......

At any rate, yes Spot, sadly said mare passed away. We finally had her cleaned up (she came with a uterine infection.) and some weight on her. Who is Julia that knows the mare?

Every once in awhile though, I think to myself-what about those offspring, should I try and find one to add to my breeding program? I wonder if there is any way to tell if a horse carries these genes as recessive (and therefore not expressing)?

So, if I were to go to the APHA or whatever registry, what color would you put this mare down as? As you can see from the second pic, she has more of a "block" of color down the top side of her neck, instead of spots, and she had white blocks on her belly, as opposed to circular areas-if I am making any sense (think paint vs app). the white on her rump went up over the top to the other side (I remember seeing somewhere that the different color catagories also depended on if the color continued over the back or not). These white areas had pink skin underneath. She also had a white spot in her everloving mouth!

When I negotiated with the previous owner over the phone, she made me a package deal-that if I took the one, I took the other. She gave me a brief description of the mare, saying" she also has some white." I brushed the comment aside-in my mind thinking big blaze or something. When I got to the place, she was out in a field on a hillside with all these bay horses, I stopped and said "eh"? "May I assume THAT is the mare with some white??" /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif the woman was worried that I wouldn't want a TB with that coloring, I assured her I would take her /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

At any rate, I am unfamiliar with the Chubari term, it sounds like something from Star Wars. Can some one describe it for me, and would it be applicable to this mare's coloring? Also, how often is this type of coloring able to be reproduced in offspring? I have never stopped wondering about this, and may one day see if I can locate one of her foals.

7UP - I have been totally and completely in love with your guy ever since I saw the first pictures of him!

He is just SO neat! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/yes.gif http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

What are your plans for him in the coming years and his foals? Are you standing him to outside mares or just your own?

Oh! And that reminds me. I dont have a picture of him on my website for the Cool and Unusual Coloured Thoroughbreds! May I take one please?

:Spot:

[7up]

Spot,
We will be standing "Caesar" to outside mares and we are looking forward to his colored foals this spring. I would be honored to have you include CSpotRun's picture in your Cool and Unusual Colored TB's.
Cheers 7up

Welcome 7up! C Spot Go is definitely a nice stallion of course we might be a bit biased as our colt RR is by him http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/winkgrin.gif
