    Even after "testing" have you been surprised by a foal?

    We had a mare US’d this last weekend that we were unable to see a foal rectaly. We then did a transab US (between flank and udder) and sure enough there was a foal.

    Fencing

    I use two strands of electric fence for my mares. One strand about 7” of the ground and the other about 2-2.5’ from the ground. They learn to respect it and now I usually leave the fence off and they don’t bother it. The only time I have had one get out was when I was weaning a colt and the colt...

    color question on 2012 colt

    Yes, I’m probably wrong but the only reason I thought of palomino is because in this older photo, He appears to have a lot more Gold color under the baby fuzz (around his eyes). Unless this is a silver buckskin we are looking at. Now correct me if I’m wrong but my smokey silver blacks never had...

    Colour Question - another horse page 2

    Now that I’m reading this I did have a dark brown buckskin once; however, she was obviously a buckskin as a foal and you could only see shades of yellow hair in her winter coat. But she looked much like that welsh pony pictured above in the summer. Here dam was a smokey cream so she no doubt had...

    color question on 2012 colt

    I too had a mare registered as buckskin in one registry and a silver dapple in another. Here DNA test proved that she was in fact a smokey silver roan. [/size] With that said, I often leave a note on my registration applications stating that I can show proof that they are what I say they are...

    color question on 2012 colt

    This is just a shot it in the dark because I have yet to have a smokey silver black foal but I have owned smokey silver black horses. He reminds me a very dark palomino? It would be very inexpensive to just have him tested for base color and go from there.

    Colour Question - another horse page 2

    I think this one is defiantly more tricky, I see some very obvious signs of counter shading so I’m going with sooty bay. It might not hurt to test this one since he is a little more tricky.

    Vitamins / Supplements to help shed and have healthier coat?

    Biotin (B7) with the increase of L Lysine intake to boost protein synthesis. L Lysine is a limiting amino acid, so the body can only synthesis protein up the limit of Lysine in circulation. Increase protein synthesis and you increase the amount of hair and hoof production. Biotin is the most...

    Colour Question - another horse page 2

    I love that you have pictures of both parents and the foal as he ages. This makes it so much easier to give an answer. I wish more people would do it this way I think he looks like a sunbleached smokey black.
