I am really enjoying all the silver horses!
Well, here is Max at 4 days when he was still a silver bay tovero (LWO+) .... he is turning gray/white like his dam now. Yes, he was tested....
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........very interesting!I have a silver black (appaloosa) gelding that has a dark mane and tail. His dam is red, and carries silver, and he sired a silver dapple colt and a silver bay filly (before he was gelded) out of non-silver mares, so I know he carries silver. Here are some pics:
as a foal:
In person you can tell that the silver gene is affecting his black color, it just isn't affecting it MUCH. His silver bay daughter has a dark mane and tail too, with very little lightening, and his silver dapple's son tail is mostly white, but his mane is mostly near-black. It's interesting, and it's rare, but not impossible.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........very interesting!
Yours & Connie's are the only Silver horses I've ever seen (in person or otherwise) who didn't have an "affected" (lightened) mane and/or tail.
May I ask what colors the mares were who produced the Silver foals by your guy?
Now this guy is interesting! He looks (to me) to be a Black Sabino. Has he been tested for Silver?This is a picture of the silver dapple colt, at 2 years old early this spring. His mane is virtually unchanged from the silver gene, though his tail is mostly white. His body gets darker once he sheds his winter coat.
