When you read through all of these threads on the new sabino's and white and dilute TB babies hitting the ground, its fun to sit back and fast forward things to 10-20-30 years down the road, when a lot of us will be out of the breeding game and retired to our beach hut in the Caribbean sipping Margarita's and selling sea shell necklaces.
Will these wildly coloured TB's that are now on the track and in the show ring and in breeding shed, become accepted as "the *new* norm" or will people look upon them still as something very special and rare and one of a kind?
