OH! Well that ones belly spot got a bit carried away didn't it......is it a Clydesdale? They are usually all Sabinos arent they?

Looks homozygous splash to me. I've seen several purebred drafts of various breeds who look like they inherited splash without much or any sabino helping to hide it.

EDIT: I find the full belly mane very amusing ^_^

LOL! You'd love to see the hair Lace gets on her belly then. It gets that long... just it's all over, not in a line like this one. I don't think it's ACTUALLY a mane... but I guess it's possible.

Apparently it's common practice to shave of belly manes in the gypsy world. I've seen pictures of one on a gypsy filly that looked as thick as a normal horse's mane but on the wrong part of the horse. That one was restricted to the girth area and didn't go all the way down like this guy. ^_^

I've seen ventral manes, mustaches, beards, several inch long nose hair, and crazy long ear hair as "bonus" side effects of breeding for feather. :lol:
