What color is this stallion # 2

rabbitsfizz Sat, 04/04/2009 - 11:30

I had a feeling this was a purebred....if ...IF...he tested positive for Silver I would be more inclined to doubt the veracity of his pedigree than I would to shout "Wow...there is Silver in Arabs!"
In exactly the same way I have doubts about Welsh pedigrees.
But we do have to stop arguing is it right, is it wrong, at some time, and move on, which is what I have done with the Welsh, and, as I know for a fact that dear Lady Wentworth registered as Arab that which she thought [i]ought[/i] to be Arab, did the same with her Greylight Welsh ponies and also with more than one TB (which is why they burned all her record books!!) we cannot just sit back and say that Arabs are "purebred" and should be kept as such.
I would like to see Silver in Arabs, I would also like to see Cream, and Frame.
I am absolutely [i]certain[/i]someone will fulfill my dream for me before too long, after all, they managed it in the TBs!! :booty

There was a mare, at Shartomar, who has a tobiano pattern. I mean something that you look at and immediately think tobiano. It is clamed she is registered and it appears to be true, but her DNA was being redone, and she was being tested for tobiano. No results were ever advertised (that I know of).

The filly...

Her papers have already been proven fraudulent (they have a dead person's signature on them ;) ). If she doesn't lose her papers altogether for that, she'll likely lose them for another reason. She IS DNA verified, however it is pretty much known she's not PB. There was some funky business with her DNA samples (the owner/breeder, not the lab). It's a pretty extensive case apparently and the last I heard AHA was still investigating. I sincerely hope they find a reason to revoke her papers, regardless of what it is, as it is pretty clear IMO she's not PB and there's enough fishy business going on to be suspect even if she *wasn't* tobiano.

Just looking at the last filly's colour and not taking into account breeding and I think I see silver bay with pangare yet being an arab it shouldn't be possible. I'd love to know what she'd test as I'm sure many others would too :mrgreen:
