She totally looks black to me. I'd be shocked if she tests as anything different. Let us all know when you find out. Maybe we should have a pool going! LOL!

Thanks! I did find the thread about her baby. Lovely colt! :)

But someone in that thread said to "Look up Strapless on the USEF website". I already did that. It says "no information for this...

Does anyone know her breeding/pedigree? I couldn't find anything anywhere online. Does she have any siblings? Any foals yet? What a mare, how soon we forget the great ones.

Yes, you are exactly right, silver cannot hide on black. If she had it, it would show. But you mentioned she's a tobiano IIRC.... would she by any chance have a white mane/tail from her pinto...

I would say he does not, LOL! If the sire is homozygous for black then the foal cannot be chestnut, plain and simple, no two ways about it.

What you describe is pretty normal for a black foal. ...

What is your mare's name? Just curious, why wasn't she registered? Who is she in foal to? Best wishes for your upcoming baby. :)

Buckpasser and Sir Ivor are considered good, solid influences....

I don't see the need, since it is too late to rebreed if the pregnancy has been lost, and all my mares are pastured together. (The normal recommendation is that any mares in close contact with your...

I love the breeding on the dam, not so much the sire. What's interesting is that neither parent was a sound racehorse, so it's somewhat amazing that Tuttmania lasted for 4 years on the track. Is...

PLEASE tell us what registry did this.

I believe that all breeders have the right to know when an organization is so blatantly flaunting its own rules and standards.

You have no worries about...

Agree that it was confusingly worded and rather unclear.

But what it sounds like the OP meant, was that the SO filed their breeding report with their registry, listing all the mares that were...

If you are looking for a stallion that is bred to jump, you can't go wrong with this one:

He's also here, a less reliable database:...

I may not be in the majority but I think you can never have too many daughters of a favorite stallion. I have sold fillies and then later regretted it greatly, because the mare never gave me another...

If she was specifically bred to be a hunter, she may very well have been conceived by AI/shipped semen. Which would explain why she's not registered, as that would make her ineligible. She would...

That site says he was pensioned due to low fertility, though.

I would not do it unless you absolutely must. I'm sure it is usually fine, but I know of two horses that died of complications from being gelded as a fully mature stallion (over 10 and had bred...

Silver Twist has awesome bloodlines. If I was breeding Trakehners I'd be all over him in a heartbeat. :)

Check out the pedigree of this mare. I would probably trade my firstborn for her. LOL!...

What a wonderful hunter pedigree your mare's dam has! Her sire, dam's sire, and 2nd dam's sire are all among the alltime best hunter sires. Fantastic. That's the kind of TB pedigree we love to see...

Sorry in advance, rant mode on.......

But honestly folks, how can ANY stallion owner justify such a thing? It's not like there is any money out of their pockets no matter how often you try! In...

That is absolutely NOT TRUE. I went to that website and looked up some horses that I know for a fact were winners, or highly placed (I was sitting right there watching them show) and it came as "no...

What does "Pennsylvania-Bred" classes mean anyway? [edit]

I thought of that too, but hesitate to mention it, due to the negativity of some on this list to any QH blood... LOL. Plus, I got the impression the OP wanted a stallion that was already proved as a...

If he was born black, then he IS black, genetically speaking. Not bay, not brown, not any kind of buckskin or dun, or anything else. None of those things are born looking black.

Blacks are...

His son Prince John is highly regarded in hunter/jumper pedigrees. I don't see him disappearing from the scene anytime soon. :)

If you must have a cremello, it sounds like the only one fitting that requirement would be Guaranteed Gold. I've seen a couple of his kids and they are very nice, very much hunter type. The only...

It's times like this when I sincerely wish we could just see the uterus by running an ultrasound right over the outside of the belly, like a human........ :)
