LOL, thanks she definitely has some silver in her. She's the bossmare too. Forgive her potbellied-ness, she's heavy bred. I wish she'd hurry up and have the baby, she's big as a barrel and plus I wanna play with it.
I wish I knew. She's a grade mare so I have no way of finding out what color her parents were, unfortunately. The gentleman we bought her and two other mares from was in poor health and couldn't remember when they were bred. It can't be too long off, though cause she's HUGE!!!
She sure is cute, can't wait to see what she has! Do you know who she's bred to?
I did some searching of silver diluted horses to see if I could find something that kind of matched up to your girl's color.. Closest thing I found was this guy:
This guy is a black based horse that carries cream and silver.. Could be a possibility but not knowing what her parents' colors are only way to tell is to see what she throws and have her tested!
. That's the closest I've seen to a match for her color. I'll be sure to let you all know when she finally gives up and has it. I also have another mare that came with her that's bred to the same stallion. I wasn't with my parents when they bought them but they said the stud was black.
She is the exact same colour as a mare my mother-in-law owned. We tested her for dilute only, which she was positive for. She then produced a cremello foal when put to a buckskin stallion. My guess is that she carried both silver and cream dilute genes, this combination of genes can produce some very strange results.
Test your mare for black/red, cream and silver. Actually, why not add agouti, just to be positive, but my guess is she is black based silver cream.
