Hi Katie,

BTW, I haven't the faintest idea ! ... I just knew the champagne gene that gives green eyes. But the filly has black skin so is not champagne.

Does it happen that creme gene gives green eyes ?
Does someone know something about it ?

THE GOLD FOX did it again ! Two weeks ago is born another gorgeous dilute TB colt out of "MOCHICA" ( ONE COOL CAT ). This one should be named "GOLDOSAURUS REX". He is the first buckskin TB born in France. So far, on 3 breedings seasons and 8 offsprings, THE GOLD FOX has 100% dilute foals ! We're so happy.

Hi !

Here some 2012 news from France :

My first 2012 baby :
COLOR LEGACY, (COLOR NOTCH UP x RAPH), born yesterday.

Maybe she will be black as her mother and her 2yo sister (here under). For now she's looking grullo ! ... :shock: :)

Image

And one of our stallions, THE GOLD FOX, (WHITE GOLD x TASSOLETTE), winning in Fontainebleau for Easter :

Image

And for pleasure these two pics of SNOWMAN and THE GOLD FOX during winter :

I like very much the way they are looking at you.

TTYS :wink:

They are all so beautiful!!! :D

I'd do some gymnastic exercises to get The Gold Fox to tuck his knees more. His color is amazing though. the foal certainly looks black, true blacks are usually born a charcoal color and shed off darker.

Snowman is at stud for his first year ; very gentle.
He will start "Dressage young horses championship" (4yo horses) within a couple of weeks.
