This has really been a dream come true for me to get Faux Finish back home once again ... :)


Regardless the fact that the resulting foal coat color may whiten with age (in the worst scenario), anyway, I understand that the following horse beautifully qualifies in several categories.

SNOWBOUND PAISLEY (Gray H 2002) http://www.pedigreequery.com/snowbound+paisley

Would really like to see the expectation that would be generated if FAUX FINISH is ultimately :D bred to him.


This is not the first time I have noticed the presence of Zulu Tom, who seem to be a strong phenotypical stamper. Then, it is not quite typical
of a gray to pass on such a great deal of high leg markings on his gets along with his blaze. Grays tend to be far more conservative in their ways of passing on white markings, regardless of the fact that these are independent genes. His pedigree in general is interesting.
Whether or not the resulting foal happens to be a gray, I would consider
such a cross without hesitation. Both are quite special creatures.

I wouldn't use up a good mare year breeding to a grey if you are looking for color. How about this guy:

If KY is not too far, Blue Eyed Streaker is available. He is a really nice horse.

Im looking for a specific "type" of TB stallion that should produce a conformation hunter type. Weather Warning I like for an event or possibly jumper type - not at all for a conformation hunter. Blue Eyed Streaker should produce the colour but not the conformation and build I am looking for

Snowbound Paisley would be more the "type" I am looking for and Not Bourbon - who knows? There is nothing but a race picture to judge him from ...

Thanks for the suggestions! :)

If his fee ever comes down to earth, Milwaukee Brew? There's a gelding of his at the barn where I ride. Cute honey chestnut, good hunter movement (but pigeon-toed, don't know if that is from MB or his dam), three high whites and a blaze.
