Silver Dun?

Well there is a foal that looks frame and it says it's out of a solid red roan mare but it's standing next to it's mother and she is pretty obviously frame/sabino *shrugs* He could be splash/sabino and registered as overo because APHA registers every white color pattern other than tobiano "overo" and even somtimes they register minimal tobis overo ~X( Annie is registered overo and she is splash/sabino/rabicano....no frame. She has a pretty large belly spot aside from her socks and facial markings.

Yeah I forgot about his name... I guess he does have a spot.

That does really look silver to me.

It does to me too ACC

He's a QH Correct? It looks like silver to me as well however, that is way more expression than we typically seen in known silver QHs. To bad he's never been tested.

Did you guys notice this? This is the grandsire on the sire's side, the photo is in black & white so you can't say for sure but you can notice the dappling, I wonder if this was the Silver carrier.

http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/stormys…" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ........registered as a palomino, keep in mind if there was any Silver QH in the history of AQHA they would have been registered Palomino, as Silver was not in the AQHA vocabulary.

Have to say that looks Palomino to me.......

He looks like the sooty palomino that tends to happen in QH's I did a research of his pedigree and he goes back to very common ancesters (meaning if he were silver there should be silvers all over the breed) with lots of cream back there. His foals reflect the cream gene and his color is not typical of silvers in the QH breed.

Can you find any photo's of what is typical Silver in the QH breed? I have never seen one and I have been into and owned Paints/QH's since the 70's, so I'm really curious.

Whaspy Leo (would love for him to visit my mare ;-)

Ok the bay silvers look a little more familiar, I just didn't know that's what they were. So if you were to breed Waspy Leo to your bay/silver mare would you for sure get bay/silver??? :YMSMUG:

Looking at those silver Qhs make me realy wonder if BZD Silvr Shado Dancr really did pass on whatever his color was to his colt Zip Zap Nero Te.

Huh....I was just looking at the sires pics in the photo gallery and saw how it said he had tested negative for Silver but the colt sure does look bay/silver doesn't he? :-??

I think that is a paint gene there, just like his sire.

I went back and looked at his info on allbreeds and it says he is a black/frame with some mystery dilute modifier unique to his line.

Neither are pinto related IMO. The foal is VERY, VERY likely just baby flaxen.

If only there were updated pictures of him.

I do believe paint/pinto genes affect tail color wether its splash sabino, rabicano or tobiano it can put white there and a paint/pinto horse with white in its tail makes me think its there from the paint/pinto gene long before I think wow that horse must be a silver.

I always thought Gulastra Plume in Arabians is likely caused by skewed expressions of sabino or rabicano.

If there is pink skin, obviously. However alot of the time there isn't. Sometimes there are Thoroughbreds with little to no white and these gray/silver tails. No sign of rabicano, no sabino roaning, not white, just silvery hair in the tail.

I would think that since mixed white patterns like rabicano don't normally effect the skin that this might still be a possibility in certain cases.

The silvery hairs are interesting.

I have a yearling filly that this year shed out displaying rabicano in her flanks and the sknuk tail and she was born without a drop of white on her I will be watching her to see how light her tail gets.
