Possible Palomino TB?

Color enthusiasts - thought I'd call your attention to the banner ad above that features a TB gelding that's probabally isn't a palomino, but certainly is that rarity: chestnut with flaxen mane AND tail.....

Yes rare, but likely NOT a Thoroughbred. He looks more like a Morgan or Saddlebred in the photo, and is apparently unregistered.

According to http://ilhbpa.com/index.aspx?itemid=1013&fromcat=6

and the horse's location on this page of horses for sale seems to indicate he is/was a TB racehorse.

My ex has a similarly colored gelding named Meet Me Mudder.

If he is the 2005 son of Flame Thrower he definitely has the right to have a flaxen mane and tail.

considering there are at least 4 cremello tb sires out there why would it not be expected to start seeing palomino colored horses?

I have a lovely tb colt chestnut with flaxen mane and tail with 4 white socks to boot. gorgeous. By Tragectory. Sadly out of the mare Petionette who died recently here at the farm. She had only a white star and did have half of a white udder. So possibly threw some colour herself. at some point I will try to post a pic.

Oh!!! I know that horse! Yes, he definitely has a very flaxen mane and tail, and did from the day he was born. Small world....

He's pretty! I wrote and asked if this was him:

Horse in the picture def. looks like a flaxen liver chestnut whoever he is though.

Interesting - both Meet Me Mudder (Sweetsouthernsaint) and Providor (Flame Thrower) are grandsons of Saint Ballado thru their sires.

Bummer, the email bounced back as no such box.

If it is Providor, he has a lovely female family.

For anyone who is interested....there are numerous Palomino Thoroughbreds alive now....I don't think any are racing yet but in a few short weeks, I will have a Palomino Thoroughbred. My TB Chestnut mare, A Coul Victory, was bred to a TB Cremello Stallion in Lancaster, California. His name is White Magic3 and he is a 2003 model. Our mare is due on March 26th....I will post pictures of our foal if anyone would be interested. As you can see, we are just a little<---------------------------------------------------> excited!

Olivia I would love to see pics! And I dont blame you one bit for being so excited!

I trained another filly with an almost flaxen mane - JP's Chessie http://pets.webshots.com/photo/14148389 ... 5089PLrsHR

No clue where her lighter almost flax mane came from, any ideas?
