Came across this site and I can only think that the color they are referring to as 'mushroom' is the silver dapple gene?

I just saw the link and thought what in the heck could mushroom ponies be? You can imagine what I was thinking..little mushroom shaped ponies...lol.
So thought that was interesting that in the U.K. silver dapple is referred to as mushroom. I'm learning something new every day.
BTW surf the site and look at their ponies. Some of them are breathtaking. I am thinking when I can afford to have a pony again, that I want a Welsh Section A. I just think they are beautiful. But I was wondering why their backs dip so much?
I also noted some old style shetlands have high butts too..is this a desired trait? I can't imagine that kind of body structure holding out for too long?? I know nothing of either breed, so thought I would ask.
