Unusual Blaze - what pattern???

OK, this little filly was born yesterday morning & has a rather unusual blaze??? I am pretty sure she is sabino, she has two uneven speared socks on the back. Is this splash as well. Dad is plain bay without a speck of white that I can find. Mum is cremello, so I haven't a clue what her markings are, but she is welsh A, from lines that commonly produce flashy stockings & blazes. All of her foals have had plenty of white. Sorry the photo is a bit out of focus, but was taken in the stable. [attachment=0]blaze 2.jpg[/attachment]

I was thinking of a spider monkey hanging from a tree, but a lizard will work - :rofl I'd say sabino is definite, not so sure about splash. She's adorable. :love

I'm just assuming splash but her marking looks like an 'F' to me. Or a hand grasping with perhaps a claw lol.
Either way, you've got yourself another stunner 8-)

Thanks everyone, she really is rather cute.
Here is a better pic.
Rabbit, mum is welsh A, just a touch over 11h, dad is riding pony & 13.2h.
These riding ponies can do anything with regard to height, as although she is only
little, she has a percentage of TB & arabian blood. I am thinking, she will be around
12.2h to 13h.

Her name is Cookie, christened by a friend who saw the pic & said "C is for Cookie" & it suits her so it has stuck.

Cookie Monster!!! :rofl
Oh, she is cute, but no use to me, I am afraid.
Seriously, though, if you get anything that is likely to be too small for your programme, say around 11hh or less, let me know!

Rabbit, I would love to breed some 11h Riding ponies, & my black silver colt is only 11.2h, so perhaps that will happen.
But slight problem, :rofl
I am on the other side of the world(I think).

Yeah, I know, but they [i]used[/i] to do export/import quite cheaply.....maybe not any more??
I really should look at Fayre Oaks sale, though.
I say that every year!

I know it's a lot cheaper for us to send to your end of the world than for us to bring into this end of the world...I know the US quarantine period is a lot shorter than what is needed for Oz or God Zone...(a week compared to 2 months!)

[quote="rabbitsfizz"]I'm not sure we even quarantine horses this end....amybe they do that at your end before they come?[/quote]

From memory, any horse entering New Zealand has a 2-week quarantine somewhere in the North Island, on top of whatever quarantine they had to do in their country of origin (or at least having been in that country something like 6 months prior to shipping to NZ) prior to being allowed into the "general population". We used to be able to do that 2 weeks in Australia, and then have the horse direct shipped from Oz to South Island, but with that outbreak of IE last year, I don't know if that's still a viable option or not.
