Color question... RESULTS ARE IN!!!

[Tami]

This is my 09 colt....His dam is a sorrel pinto...her sire was a bay pinto and dam a bay....the colts sire is a double dilute....his sire is listed as a buckskin and his dam is listed as a grulla....... The colt has a definite dorsal stripe, but that is it.........what would you register him as.

Below are a few photos....one the day he was born and some recent ones......

Results on page 2.....

I'd say handsome, but last I checked that wasn't a "color"

 

[Mona]

I would go with buckskin pinto. Pretty boy Tami!

 

[PaintNminis]

idk what color he is - but he sure is a handsome lil Guy

you could always test him just to be 100% Sure

and you have to remember if you list him as the wrong color and down the Road Discover his True color you can always change it ;-)

Grulla Pinto....if you test just for Cream and Agouti you would know if he was Buckskin or not but I would not hestitate to register him as Grulla.

 

[Taylor Jo]

Idk what color he is, but that's not why I posted. I wanted to tell you what a GORGEOUS BOY you have there!!!!!!!!! WHOOZZA!!!!!!!!!! He's a beauty

I agree with Jane and say a grulla pinto for now.

What a nice looking boy, with a beautiful head.

 

[little lady]

I'd say grulla due to the dorsal stripe. Buckskin doesn't have a dorsal but a dun would have a dorsal. He sure is pretty!

 

[cretahillsgal]

I say grulla pinto as well. But he could be buckskin also. I have a buckskin about the same color as him. You could just test him for cream and agouti to know for sure.

 

[Tami]

Thanks guys. I know he has creme since his sire is a double dilute so I think I will send in hair for agouti.....

I hope to show him next year. His dam is 22 this year and has always given me such pretty babies.....

 

[PaintNminis]

You Will have to let us know what the Results are

 

[Lucky-C-Acres-Minis]

I hope to show him next year. His dam is 22 this year and has always given me such pretty babies.....

I can vouch for that too!

REALLY REALLY REALLY hope you get that filly out of her you've wanted.. Did she settle for next year?

 

[shelly]

WOW-that is one very handsome grulla pinto!!!!!! He should do very well in the shows next year!!!!!!!

 

[Sue_C.]

If there such a thing as a smokey grulla...he is either that, or a dunskin.

And HOLY BATMAN!!! There are few horses that really make me gulp, sit back, and seriously catch my eye...

...but this boy has "IT". (And he's not even appy...LOLOL!)

 

[rabbitsfizz]

Well, DUH!! you said the sire was CrCr too!!

So, no need to test for that then......

Teach me to read things properly, that will.

So you need to test for Agouti.

Yes, Sue you can have a Smoky Grulla but it rarely shows anything, just as Smoky Black (although Smoky Black does tend to show more in Minis, it would seem, tricky little critters that they are

)

Has the sire been colour tested???

 

[ohmt]

GORGEOUS smokey grullo pinto

 

[Tami]

Thanks again guys...sent hair off yesterday to Animal Genetics so I will let you know what the agouti test says.......

 

[luv2ridesaddleseat]

[Tami]

I think this means he is a grullo......

And a very handsome one at that!

Actually, since his sire is a DD then techinically, your boy is a smokey grulla. (carrying the black from both the cream as well as the dun)
