Jasmine is also a silver black/black silver - either is correct. Silver palomino would be considered an incorrect term, genetically speaking, because silver will not show on a true palomino (red base with a cream gene), and the cream gene has a dampening effect on the expression of the silver...

Right - A lot of vets really don't know color at all. I'm lucky - my vets all know what a genetics junkie I am and defer to my labeling, since I've been mixed into the color genetics world for so long. I try to help people get out of the habit of calling this color chocolate and/or chocolate...

Black silver tobiano. He's super cute!

Thanks! That stall goes in in about 10 minutes and comes back out quicker.

Thank you! He still has a bit of warming up to us to do. He is very sweet, but unsure, since we're all new

It was about 3.5 hours each way.

Thanks! My husband does courier and delivery in it, so figured it might as well do this too!

So it's not a real "change", maybe "Kiddo"?

This is cute! I've seen the "traditional" halters made from basically braided steel "picture hanging" wire, clamped and soldered in place, with a tube of the colored "cable shrink wrap", like computer gaming machine builders use, to color the cable. You just have to have the cable run through...

I don't know yet, but I'm thinking maybe crushed panne, because it is fairly rugged and really soft and kind of fun.

Thanks! 😁

Reminds me - I was thinking some day of doing some really large "fast food" things that could be used as beanbag chairs, ottomans, pillows, whatever. I think a towering cheeseburger footrest would be fun in a game room or something.

Those are so cute.
