Hey,

I would like to see photos of foals born sorrel that turn palomino.

I have a foal born sorrel pinto. her sire is palomino and dam is black pinto(smokey black pinto,because her sire is buckskin but not tested)

I sure she will stay sorrel pinto but wouldn't it be neat if she had the cream gene

My 2010 colt Amir's Phoenix, was born very red, but it was clear he is palomino as soon as he dried off,, and testing has verified it.

I couldn't get the photos of Bliss before to load (on my phone), but here they are. I did wonder at first what color she'd pick!

Clear Brooks CK Hanky Panky was born sorrel, but shedded out his foal coat to palomino. As a foal he even had a red mane and tail, Now they are snow white.

I had one born sunset orange with pink skin. Couldnt figure out what color that was. Didnt really think Chestnut but didnt scream palomino either lol. Didnt know at the time that her mom was a sliver smokey black so was carrying cream. Sire was black and white. After a few days her skin darkened up and her coat just kept getting lighter. Ended up light palomino within a few weeks.
 
wow what pretty horses

I am amazed how some sorrel did turn out to be real nice palomino

I know the test is $25. I would love to test her for peace of mind even if she is sorrel pinto.I think everyone would be STOCK if she had the cream gene

The first pic was taken at about 10 mins old. The second one is at about one week. The third was taken as a 3 year old.

I think it's interesting how "red" the tail and especially the mane is for it eventually to turn so snow white. Color is a very cool and interesting thing to learn about.
 
A dark Palomino foal can look like a chestnut/sorrel until dry. They can even look like they have a red mane and tail, but if you look closely at the mane and tail, one can see the white underneath. I have had several born very dark that looked bay or sorrel at birth, but then when dry, turned out to be buckskin or palomino. Sorry to say that your boy looks like a sorrel pinto., though there is nothing wrong with the sorrels. They are the easiest to show, clip and hide dirt. Also, when saving, one can make their heads look batter than they really are.

i am not sure why people get so upset when their foals turn out to be sorrels rather than palomino. Some of the top farms have mostly sorrels. Like Establo, First Knight etc.
 
Jill.. Have you tested Bliss ? I ask because I wonder if she is Red Dun only ?

My mare Moose is red dun, tested Cream neg.. and looks Very similar. Just curious

Hank got a hair dye job didn't he?.... hehehe AMAZING !! He's def a pally !!
 
Hi, Sandy --

Their colors do look similar. Bliss has a lot of dapples, and she is much lighter in winter. I think she's palomino, but I could test her. I'd have said your lady bug looks either palomino or silver bay from the picture. DunIT (sire) does carry cream dilute... and Bliss has a faint dorsal, so maybe! Her half brother, Trooper, is a red dun but he looks red dun vs. palomino. That peachy kind of color vs. golden and not quite a white mane and tail.

Thanks for the food for thought
