Achieving an appaloosa Thoroughbred --- POSSIBLE?

He's as pink as your shirt! All that white must be near impossible to keep him from burning.

LOL, I bet it's sweat from having a good workout, your going to see pink when these white beauties are wet. If he were burned his nose would be red, it would be the first thing to cook, and it's a normal pink. I bet she keeps him up during the day, and turns out at night.

What a small world. I use to own the dam of that Mystical White horse, Adagal. And I didn't realize who owned Adagal now, but she also bought a horse off of me this summer.

Because he's white, he doesn't get to go outside for long in t/o in the sun, and when he gets hot and starts to sweat, he turns pretty pink!! Then, we match because my face usually turns pretty pink in the heat too!

OK, NOT A MALE MODEL, BUT NOW THOSE ARE SOME SERIOUS SPOTS!

HERE'S HIS PEDIGREE:

LOOKING AT HIS PEDIGREE THOUGH, HE GET'S THEM HONESTLY!

I re-trained an ottb and sold him and he has these white spots all over him too. As a training/prelim level eventer, his show name is "A Chance of Flurries." His registered name is Simple Billie. It seems every year he gets more and more of the spots and I think his show name is just fantastic![img][img]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q32/evenheaven/murphy20jumping-medium1.jpg[/img][/img]

Just out, the location for the LP gene has been found. This is the gene responsible for appy roan, white rimmed eye and the rest.

A test can't be far behind.

Helen in FL & Reedheel,

Thank you very much for your excellent watch and the valuable participation of all of you. Great!

All the Best,

[reedhill]

Thank you Jorge for offering the COLOR CORNER. It offers a fun and informative platform, which is so different from some of the other dismal forums elsewhere, where fighting and insulting is the only way to get attention. I suppose that's why so many horse people as myself, stay out of "clicks" either online or in life, my horses, family, and a couple true human friends is enough to make it for me in life, oh and of course HERE! Cheers!!!!

Be Blessed.

Wow that photo of Chet DT posted by Evenheaven is gorgeous.
What a beautiful sabino white he is.

I also discovered a very beautiful combination for jockey silks. Take the same printed pattern and colors seen on the helmet and use it as the main color for the body and then add the same pink tone (seen in the picture) to both sleeves. It really looks great and quite distinctive.

Jorge... that may be a good idea! It's been a hit in the eventing world for us.. people don't for get us! Plus, I show him under the name "Barenaked" so people really get a kick of us when the announcer says, "No on course, Amber riding Bare naked!"
