Forums will still be available to view but new posts are no longer allowed.

Andalusian Dam x Sorrel Quarter Horse

Owner would like to know what the base color is and also what the spots might be. Gray mare in photos is dam. Sorrel is sire. Foal photos are from 2mo to 10mo.

I agree with the Tetrarch spots, but am not so sure with the greying -- would be a closer pic of the head be possible?

Please don't hot link photos (unless it is from a hosting company such as photobucket). That one is also clearly copyrighted by Barbara Livingston. Did you ask her if you could post it?

We've had this discussion before, and the outcome of that was that if we chose to post photos we didn't have the copy right too we were responsible for the legal out come. (OF which there will be none because it falls under "fair use".) Have you decided to change that rule?

Actually what I said before was please don't hotlink and please don't post images that don't belong to you. Then I added something to the effect that I can't babysit all the time and if you do post them anyway you take full responsibility. (I generally don't check images that are linked). However, that one is very blatant.

Your right in that it probably would fall under fair use IF it was hosted on this site but hot-linking from another site is technically bandwidth theft.

Another thing to consider is since I now have ads on the site (even though they don't even cover the hosting costs) someone could argue I'm making money off their photos and cause me all kinds of problems.

Tetrarch Spots only come with gray. They are a part of the graying process. The white spots you may be thinking of are bird catchers and they look very different from Tetrarch spots

Well there you go then. It's now linked from photobucket.

If Tetrarch spots are white on a chestnut and are an indicator of graying why can you still see them on a gray horse?

um answering my own question, because the spots are all white and stay all white on a background of gray.

The spots aren't really white like a pinto mark, just gray so the skin underneath is dark. Tetrarch spots can happen on any colored horse that goes gray, not just chestnuts. It's almost like a different pattern of graying. Like how some dapple and some turn a uniform steel color. The tetrarch spots just happen to gray faster like the insides of dapples gray faster.
