Have never bred with a Silver parent before so the colour is interesting. Some say she's Black, others say (Black) Silver. Sire is Black Silver (Black Tobiano x Silver), dam is Black Tobiano (Chestnut Tobiano x Black). Am totally not fussed which ever she is - though am over the moon she is a filly. :bounce [img]http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/remaanilodge/Lily/new_dscn6839…] [img]http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/remaanilodge/Lily/new_dscn6865…] [img]http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/remaanilodge/Lily/new_dscn6872…] [img]http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/remaanilodge/Lily/new_dscn6900…]

What an adorable little tobi filly...she will be black, but as to the silver, I cannot even begin to guess (thank heaven's for testing - lol). I do know that some other white pattern is going on - I vote splash, even though the high whites aren't even - as she has face white (what a cute little star - looks like a shooting star).

From those pictures I would say she is a black tobi with splash also -very cute but no I can't see silver either.....congrats !.....and welcome. :flower

She is a black tobiano, I agree that she has another colour gene as well. Interesting to see pics of the parents.

Yup, black. She looks TREMENDOUSLY like a filly that was born last night. Same markings. That filly's dam was black silver and sire black. LOL! She's black as well. How odd!

Yes, she is Black...I would lay money no Silver, it tends to express in Minis, not hide as it does in some breeds. Pretty filly, I quite like the sires breeding. In Ireland, if I remember rightly??
You are a sucker for punishment starting so early, I am happy to have my foals born in March/April, and it's cold enough for me, foaling them out, then!!!

Hi.
I'm in Australia so i guess in a way you could even consider my gal a late foal, lol as our breeding season is August onwards. Many stop breeding in Dec but some mare's just don't play the game, lol... but it's rather common having Jan, Feb, March, April babies here etc, lol. :D

[quote="rabbitsfizz"]Ah, that explains it!!! Yes, you are late, then :rofl[/quote]

Lol i still got 2 more mares left to foal, the other mini is 322 days today.
The other mare an Australian Pony is either over due, or due late Feb.
I don't really consider them late as it all depends when we can cover them, if they play the game & fall on the first cover etc.

Some studs over my way haven't even started breeding yet.
