I love this stallions foals!

LOVE The bruiser colt! Wish he would stay just like that haha. Never seen such strong goggles!

He IS nice and i do like his foals too.

Would you have said he was tobi without seeing the foals from solid mares?

I like how quite a few of his foals get the more black bodies but with fairly white faces, looks cool I reckon!

I'd have considered him a tobiano with out looking at the foals. However I think he's tobi-splash, or tobi-splash-sab. But that last mare isn't solid tho (unless tested?) I see sabino in her. I thought Blagdon was reserved for sabino-type horses?

They seem to have 3 visual categories. Solid, which includes any non loud white markings, socks/blazes etc.. Blagdon, non tobianos but with loud white markings, belly splashes and/or heavy roaning. Coloured, the tobiano ones, including if it's combined with splash/sabino etc..

On Natwest, yes the sabino/splash etc.. is obvious. I just didn't think the tobiano was so obvious. I thought he might be but wasn't sure until those foals from solids.

He is a very nice boy and some lovely looking babies

I'm definitely seeing dominant white and splash.

He is a typical Blagdon, in the true, Gypsy usage of the word, this is the pattern we called Blagdon when I was a kid.
He obviously is not Tobiano, he may [i]have[/i] Tobiano, is that what you meant?
Yes, Blagdon in the true meaning of the word is a Sabino/Splash types, as in the Welsh, with loads of unattached white.

Same diff ;-) To my mind, if a horse 'has' tobiano, then they 'are' tobiano. I mean as in unlike recessive genes where they hide in a single dose.

So he might look like a typical Blagdon (which I certainly agree he does), but he obviously has, and is, tobiano as well! Which is certainly not usual in what they call Blagdon. The owners of this horse definately didn't expect him to be able to have coloured foals to solid mares, as they thought he was a Blagdon in the most basic sense. That was what I meant... if that makes sense!! :-D

Yeh I thought you might say that, I can see it too. With the dominant white I mean. He's a bit different to the typical tested sb1's too. Another thing in the DW favour to my mind, is the lack of white in the tobiano etc.. The sb1 roany ones seem to cause more maximum expression of the tobaino too when present. Actually they are testing him for tobiano now, I should get them to check sb1 to make sure.

I'll be curious to see the tobi test... I'm not certain that he is. It's likely, but I'm not positive.

You don't think those last two foals look like they have tobi?

Those two are the only reasons I'd say he "likely does". They probably do, but I would NOT be shocked if they didn't (and I agree the mares are not).

Blagdon was/is a pattern it did not negate the possibility of Tobiano, I am pretty sure some of the original Welsh Cobs had Tobiano, anyway, then it was decided this was not acceptable, also the mountain ponies. Sabino/Splash is just as able to throw a fully patterned horse as Tobiano, so why would people not think a Blagdon (whatever definition you put on it) wouldn't be able to do this?
I have seen some WILD Welsh cross ponies, in fact out crossing them , even to non patterned animals, seemed to bring it out!

Very flashy markings Danni.

I have seen a pic of a foal by a splash stallion (no tobi or frame) out of a plain coloured TB mare with markings as flashy as the one above.

Wow they are all beautiful, I would take any of them.
My husband said he had a dream the other night that I had sold my Tobi TWH mare for some kind of a spotted drafty hairy Yak kind of a thing, maybe he was dreaming of your boy ! LOL

LOL, I think a spotted hairy yak type horse appearing in some folks paddocks might give them a heart attack, but I like them ;)
