I agree with all of you that say JC needs to update their thoughts on color genetics. That filly is definately a maximally expressed Sabino. AQHA is not a lot better. However, they have increased the number of choices allowed for roans i.e. bay roan, blue roan (black), red roan. They still don't get...

:roll: What possible purpose is there in coming out with trash like this. If BD had hit Barbaro there would have been a slice in his hind wraps that was noticable. Vet Wrap is very delicate material. :(

Doesn't the Jockey Club have a color choice of Palomino? No I don't think bays look at all like buckskin. There is a very distinct color difference. The color doesn't just pop up. If a horse really had the dilute gene one parent has to have the gene. If they have it, it will be expressed except if i...

The creme gene or dilute (in quarter horse circles) can only be passed from parent to foal directly. It doesn't skip a generation and pop up without warning. It is one of many modifiers that affect coat colors. Dilute only modifies red based coat colors, not black. The only affect you will see on bl...

It helps if you start with a well trained horse that doesn't mind other horses in their space. If they do mind they will usually not like other horses leaning on and bumping/touching them and will act out (kick). This kind of horse is not what you want. :?

Louis - Boswellia is an herbal pain reliever...which leaves me wondering what (if any) effect the rest of the ingredients have. There have been studies with just Glucosamine Sulfate that show limited if any effect when compared with placibo in a double blind study with 1500 subjects over a several y...

I have had some experience with Beet Pulp. After doing some research it digests like hay, has 10% protein, but is low in starch, is higher in calcium than phosphorous so it won't play havac with the CA:PH ratio. So you have calories without the dangers of grain. If you can get the shreaded Beet Pulp...
