This method works beautifully. I used a crop (not that it really matters.) Also works great for horses that are pushy while being led. If they invade your space, they get a pop.

I figure pop with...

Like I said in my rebuttal to those posts, you can reduce the chance of getting solid foals, but even when breeding homozygous tobi to homozygous tobi you still have the chance of getting white...

Thank you! I'm not telling them you said that either... It will go straight to their egos!

Don't worry, I won't tell my girls you said that...

We could also eliminate greys since they have a...

Homozygous frame overo = lethal white foal. A homozygous overo horse that lives IS a genetic impossibility.

Even if the foal is guaranteed to receive a color gene from a parent (Either tobiano or...

I don't recall implying that you were not. I enjoy a good debate and would never insinuate that my views were anything more then personal opinion as well.



There will always be crazies in...

Versatility is not a purely physical trait. Quarter horses are famous for their trainability and easygoing personalities. Perhaps the breeders of such horses are in love with both the QH mind AND...

I would love to know the name of that stallion...

I'm posting this for a friend. This is a LOVELY, big filly. She will probably finish out close to 16H.

She is register-able w/APHA but her owner never sent her papers in. I'm not sure what it...

If you cross this mare with another sabino, isn't there a chance you could end up with a max sabino foal?

Figured I should throw that thought out since you mentioned not wanting to end up with...

*Note to self* FIND A SCHLEESE!

I feel your pain. My Thornhill was only six months old when I had to sell it in order to buy my Duett...

That's great to know. I'm currently riding in my A/P Duett and am in the market for a new dressage saddle.

That makes COMPLETE sense. Fitting a round barrelled horse into a V shaped tree is like trying to cram a round peg into a square hole!

I've found there is a lot of misconceptions when it comes to...

I really think the Duett will probably be the best bet for you. Your mention of the saddle "perching" on your horse's back is giving me flashbacks of what I went through with my Thornhill XXW! I...

I love the quality of the Thornhill, and find it to be very comparable to the Duetts.

After my young mare began to develop her topline the Thornhill no longer fit correctly. Seemed to sit "on"...

Ha! Kind of like how I get when I hear people confusing the term Paint with Pinto and vice versa.

I'm looking at pics of that morgan's ancestors on allbreeds. Not seeing much white on ANY of his...

What make you think I was insinuating that there wasn't?

Splash was simply the first pattern to pop in my head as having the potential to cause blue eyes since it has been the hot topic as of...

Thank you. He was a horse of a different color as well!

There is a test for silver. I would be surprised if she is silver though. Silver & cream have a tendency to cancel each other out, and the...

She looks almost identical in color to a stallion I use to own. He was born palomino but went grey.

As a yearling he developed the exact same liver coloration on his lower legs and hindquarters....

I didn't think splash could exist without white either and said something to that fact on the HGS website, then JBandRio pointed out that solid + blue eyes can = splash (or overo).

Then ACC...

Most lethal white foals die within 72 hours. You probably would have seen signs of colic by now. Has she had a bowel movement? If she has, then lethal white is most likely still a non-issue.

It...

If she's two days old I doubt you have to worry about lethal white. (If that was your concern.) You would most likely know without a doubt by now if that was the case. I wouldn't worry too much at...

Both parents would have to carry the cream dilute gene in addition to the silver dilute gene in order for the foal to be cremello.

I'm guessing that the foal & the blue eyed parent both exhibit a...

I'm just a novice, but I still have to throw out my two cents and say that I think this post is brilliant.

In addition I wanted to point out that I've seen "downhill" built horses that are still...
