Re: Pony, what color?
I agree with RF, I don't see cream, just silver. But... has everyone missed his dark/black tipped ears in his pixs? You don't get that on palominos unless the whole horse is a dark liver shade (as in those going grey) and then you can't see the "tips". There is NO doubt in anyones mind that this foal is going grey, but I'd still test him for extension, agouti, silver and (to appease ACC and RMT) cream... :bounce
Re: Pony, what color?
[quote="TheSwingHorse"]Not to mention, she stated she wasn't sure who the sire was. Either the "silver bay" or a black tobiano. Could it be possible the black tobiano is smokey black? Has this horse been tested? Any photos or a pedigree?[/quote]
OMG you're a genius! I missed that!
Re: Pony, what color?
Ok here is a short sum it up history on the mare, she was bred in Feb 2008 to a black tobiano. My paint mare was bred to the same stallion. The Paint mare was a bay tobiano. They threw a solid colt, still not 100% sure on his color.... I will post pics.
Now she returned to heat in May. bred for 5 days to the silver bay stallion. She had several pregnancy tests, some said positive some said negative, BEFORE she bred in May.
April 5th 09 she foaled. Exactly 340 days after the last cover by the silver bay stallion. HOWEVER, this foal, we are talking about Tigger has the same, whorls in the exact same locations as the Paint mares foal, who is from the black tobiano stallion. NOW, the black tobiano stallion has had another colt before, another *black*, mind you he also has the exact same whorls in the exact same places. one on the forehead, one each side of the neck. weird. Ok had Tigger been sired by the black tobiano, he was carried just over 400 days, long but possible.
Now... Pic of the first colt the black tobiano sired:

and my colt also sired from the black tobiano stallion and a bay paint mare:

Re: Pony, what color?
I have one from the night she was born:
Re: Pony, what color?
Added to which "the other foals look like this", thing just does not hold water.
I have had foals, full siblings, one came out mature at 29" and as delicate as a feather, a Buckskin Appy, the other came out mature at 34" a (possibly Smoky) Black and (I hope she does not see this!!) erm, ....heavyweight??? That seems pretty tactful :rofl
Both foals out of a Bay Roan mare by a Palomino base near Leopard.
So what the other foals looked like isn't really relevant.
Still am absolutely sure the foal is not Palomino base, I do not know where that is coming from, not at all!
Re: Pony, what color?
In the post where the foal was known to be palomino, the main and tail are light, to the base.... My foals mane and tail are dark at the base, where the mane and tail are growing out, I am thinking is that what is causing confusion here? Doesnt a palomino have a lighter mane and tail from the body? In my foals case his mane and tail are growing in darker than his body, with gray hairs mixed in.
Re: Pony, what color?
That is 100% normal and expected of a foal going gray. Her tail didn't stay light. ;)
Only 20 days old here and it's already black:

Yet just yesterday you said that a foal looked chestnut, and then posted a photo of what a silver bay foal is supposed to look like to illustrate you're point. If a horse needs to look a certain way to be one color why doesn't it work for another color?

Re: Pony, what color?
[quote="Fledgesflight"]ACC, was that foal (newborn pics) you posted tested for Extension and Cream? - and if so do you have better pictures of it's head in natural sunlight the day after delivery?[/quote]
The foal ACC posted was franka. She was tested for extension cream and gray. She came out ee CRcr Gg. I can't get you photos since Im on my phone but In sure ACC will when she signs on.
Re: Pony, what color?
Yes she was confirmed 'ee CRcr'. She was later tested 'Gg' for gray as well.
These were less than 24 hours old:
Re: Pony, what color?
Ah then nevermind- thought it were a different horse. I'd never dispute her not being a Palomino with Grey from her photo's from the link I gave (however she does look completely different in the photo's you posted- just goes to show photo's can be deceiving. btw while I was looking, I found that both Chestnuts and Pals can be born with pink (commonly pink for pals) or black skin- so that anwers your other thread ,(that RMT posted the link to here)but IMO until testin (if ever) still begs the op's original question here.
Re: Pony, what color?
just rummaging...
Palomino going Grey- look for "Franka"
