Interesting Pally. Bend Or spots?

It could be, but it really looks more like a bloodmark to me. I know people generally associate them with gray, but I've seen them on a few other colors. It could be a somatic thing or something. I just find it hard to believe a fairly clear coated pally would have so many Bend Ors in a cluster like that and not anywhere else. That and I didn't think I've ever seen Bend Ors that low on a leg.

The first thing I thought of was sooty...strange I know !

First thing I thought was bloodmark too, I had a pally part Arab with them on his neck.

Doh! I completely forgot about bloodmarks. :oops: [i]I guess I'd always associated them with gray and Arab?[/i]

I have seen that many on a Palomino before, but not situated like that....why do you think that is significant ACC, I had not thought about it....it looks as if they have all fallen off the poor things backside!
The Palomino colt I saw had so many that it took a court case to make the Shetland Society accept him, as they do not take Appies!!!
They were all on his backside.

To be all clustered up like that in one spot and NOWHERE else on her... it's like something is going on in just that area of her body. That just doesn't seem like something that would happen, all things being normal.

Maybe when the foal was born, the force of the contractions pushed the major concentration of color all the way to that end?
Or the foal was born breech and the mare delivered while standing, so when the foal dropped, it landed on its' bumm and those are bruises?

:P :mrgreen:

The color of the mane and some spots on the front too made me think sooty too.

Yep that was where I was coming from - thanks for not making me feel I'd gone mad ! :lol:

But wouldn't sooty make the coat darker overall? ...not just in patches like at the back?

Could it be like this mapping? http://www.equine-color.info/v/other/Ma…" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Bloody shoulder on the point of her butt looks right! Bloody shoulder has appeared in other places - we've seen some odd placement of it.

I agree.

Interesting, somewhat similar case:

That is wild looking. I wish I could zoom in.

That one is very interesting, it could easily be the same thing going on, the "spots" are far more confined than normal ben d'or spots.

Here are more photos of that last one, including foal photos where the spot isn't even there yet I don't think.

Intrestingly that Pally also looks like it carries sooty !

Josie's mamma looked like a *very* dark liver chestnut and I didn't see the neck mark in her younger photos. Some of her pics (wean/year-ling?) she looked like the roots of her mane were almost black!

The foal pictures do not clearly show the marked side, but what a nice mare the dam is! Who was the sire?

One of my favorite, favorite Morgan stallions, MEMC Tequila Cuervo.

He has LOADS of substance!!
Isn't it nice to see a horse that has everything it should have PLUS colour? So rare unfortunately.

(Re: Morgan stally): WANT.

They also have a son and grandson of his as stallions that I'd kill for.

Pictures??

He is rather yummy isn't he but I actually prefer how the Grandson is put together, Tequila is quite long backed !

This is long? There's really no perfect standing side shots to decently judge, but I don't think his back is long...

I think how FLAT his topline is gives the illusion of a long back. If you find his withers and the point of his croup it's alot shorter than what it looks on a glance.

Was looking at the video and it did look long to me. :D

The OP pally my first thought was manure stains :lol: my tobi mare has white from her stocking all the way up and over her hip and she comes out of the barn every am with manure on that white blaze not on the other side that is black.
