Another "Surprise" Splash

This one is a welsh cob, both parents have some leg/face white, but not excessive. Breeders were extremely shocked, & as the rules go for welshies here in Oz this one is actually not registerable, despite being purebred. [attachment=0]DSC05327.jpg[/attachment]

[quote="rabbitsfizz"]Register her in the UK then transfer her.....

And yes, she is registerable in the UK the WP&Cob Society are being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st Century, about the only good thing to come out of the EU!!!

The US Welsh Society has different rules and different height requirements, so a registration in that would not count in Oz, but a registration in the "Mother Society" I think, would have to?

That's what I was thinking. I was sure I'd heard of some loudly marked welshies in the UK being registered now. Of course Australia would accept her if she was registered in the UK!! :-D

Yes RF he IS nice although I would love to see natural shots of these horses i am so aware of the airbrushing that goes on !

Oh yes Lipi, ESPECIALLY with that photographer (of Loco).

Loco is ALSO in my favorites list. He's a son of Shamu as well if I'm not mistaken and I'm just crazy about him.

Sad thing is stupid people over here don't ask for natural shots to be taken of horses they want to buy and then are sadly disappointed when the horse arrives and does not look like the charicature they have sent to them - no horses look like that !!! :booty

I always find those pictures done on a hill weird too (or tilted pictures, which ever it is) What's wrong with having the pony on flat ground!!?!

Only a sales argument -- they look more imposing this way with a more upper tendency. I don´t think it´s taken uphill - the picture was simply tilted (a little to much for my taste).

I agree with this so much! A sleight tilt I can live with, but so many are tilted so far as to look un-natural.

32.75" AMHA & AMHR 4-29-03 "Nort" is a beautiful blue eyed black Overo sired by Kickapoo Nickleodeon 29.5", a son of Hemlock Brooks Cock Robin. His dam is Reese's Velvet Hawk, a daughter of 4G's Little Kings Alfalfa Pleasure, "HAWK".
Nort is just as beautiful "au naturel" as he is posed, even if I do agree about the nefarious practises of that particular photographer.
Just go and take a look at the AMHA magazine when you have a minute (on line) and you will see one farm in particular that has the most airbrushed, falsified, downright weird looking animals on it!

lipigirl Thu, 06/03/2010 - 12:02

if you are talking the latest april/may copy on line then I am afraid I am going to have to ask which 'ONE' of the many airbrushed adverts ??? give me some clue ?

haha i assumed those farms didnt have level ground :rofl

Amanda, no, it was the last issue.
And that page turner is fun, isn't it? I love the sound it makes!!

Yes, I am easily amused, why do you ask?

rodeoratdogs Tue, 06/08/2010 - 10:26

Baaaaahhhhh :YMTONGUE: I hate it when a fine animal is rejected from its own breed registry based on color. Do they have a pinto registry there she can be registered under?

Danni Tue, 06/08/2010 - 19:21

The thing I hate is that this ponies bloodlines get lost if she was used for breeding later on, just because her own breed society won't record her in anyway.

rodeoratdogs Tue, 06/08/2010 - 19:42

Yeah thats why I was wondering if there was somthing they could register under just to keep a record of her pedigree. At least when QH wasn't registering paint color they could be registered Paint and Pinto.

rodeoratdogs Tue, 06/08/2010 - 20:04

Oh I see. I think the american one does. I know my old Paint mare was only registered pinto when I got her and had the right info as far as her pedigree on that certificate, I later registered her Paint when I tracked down the breeder and got him to sign the breeders certificate for her paint papers.

Danni Tue, 06/08/2010 - 21:51

They might accept a stat dec from the breeder, combined with the service cert from stallion maybe. I'm not a member of the pinto society, although now I think of it I should be! But I just remember you have to prove breeding somehow, and usually breed papers is the easiest!

rodeoratdogs Tue, 06/08/2010 - 22:06

Somthing should work for her I would think and then atleast she would have a record of her breeding to go with her and she maybe eventually contribute to a pinto breeding program. The pinto shows here are pretty popular here with all different types of horses and riding diciplines, all the way from mini's to stock horses to national show horses, any thing that comes in pinto. I am surprized your fancy Gypsy Vanners are not double registered pinto already :razz:

Danni Tue, 06/08/2010 - 22:28

Well that's what I was just thinking, with the Gypsies LOL!!

It's also why I know this filly as the breeder wanted to know if the Gypsy Cob breeders would like to breed some nice pintos from her. I think she'd have some gorgeous pinto ponies! Plus be a good show option for the pinto ring herself.

rodeoratdogs Tue, 06/08/2010 - 23:55

Oh yeah cob is a type you can register also right? Welshs' make such good crosses on arabs as well and then the foal could be registered 1/2 arab & pinto. Even if it wasn't pinto then it still could be reg 1/2 arab. I imagine that would be the same with cob. Speaking of Arabs there is a lady that lives right up the street from me that has a black straight egyption stud that has the prettiet head I have ever seen, it looks like a classic painting.
