Pali Pinto foal - Grey or not?

Hi guys, bub born tonight in Western Australia. Cremello sire, Grey (Chestnut) Pinto dam. How do i tell if he's grey, no "goggles" so to speak? Will get dry pics in the morning.

WOW, haven't seen a pali foal that dark since Goldie was born :-BD ....congratulations on a beautiful foal... :bday
Okay, now as to the grey, you can either get better pixs once dry (there is some hint of goggles though) ymwhisle or just pull hairs and have him tested (the sure-fire way)...

Thankyou everyone...

Should i colour test anyway or no point?
I'm not fussed if he went grey though - thinking of "snip snip" & keeping him LOL.

I would test him...please! That way we get to learn. I am not sure on this one, so I shall not vote. Could be either. Lovely mare, Arab bred....how? Can we see the mare? How big, how old etc??

LOL nope, Grey (Chestnut) Pinto sire & Grey (Chestnut) dam..... good old dark ranga! LOL. :rofl
Thanks, i think she is too! Her last foal (to a Brown Tobiano Pt Arab) was Bay Tobiano.
LOL re your last comment. :rofl

lipigirl, i'm not fussed on the colour to be honest as i can't keep him :cry: , in fact i would of preferred a plain solid Pali, grey or not, than Pinto but ya get that! :lol:

[quote="Maigray"]Yes, I'm a little suspicious that he's so dark..but you'll know soon, one way or the other![/quote]

Yeh that's what I was wondering. No obvious grey signs as such so far, but he is rather dark...

Kylie_80 Sun, 11/28/2010 - 17:58

Thanks heaps everyone... this forum is great for this type of stuff. :)
I got 3 Homozygous Tobiano tests to do - so should pop his in. ;)

I will upload some pics of him i took just then. :)

Hmmm my post went bye bye! I was just going to say that to look at how dark the mare was as a foal compared to the mare's foal....mare was dark, foal not, but the test results will interesting now with so many unsures!

Kylie_80 Tue, 12/07/2010 - 08:39

acc, i think he has a few grey hairs above his eyes now, or i am seeing things, lol.
Didn't when he was born though.

However, i've been told time & time again he was born with pink skin so CAN'T go grey?

But IMO i don't care either way, he could be any colour - i still adore him lots! :)
Not tested yet, been soo busy i've forgotten! LOL.
