Was she shown??? She must have been a head turner
Will you show her in Multi color?I am assuming that is where she would be show color wise, but not sure?She sure is striking.Thanks for sharing her with us.Is she the first known ever Mini brindle?I have seen photos of full size brindles in books-Sponenbergs I think but never a Mini.Thanks again.Sandy took these pictures of Marbles at the World Show.

Actually, she will be in the solid color class as she has no white on her at all.Will you show her in Multi color?I am assuming that is where she would be show color wise, but not sure?She sure is striking.Thanks for sharing her with us.Is she the first known ever Mini brindle?I have seen photos of full size brindles in books-Sponenbergs I think but never a Mini.Thanks again.
Here's one from another thread on this board. She's stunning with loads of stripesThis brindle mini is owned by Brass Rings Minis. I'm sure it's more than coincidence that the brindles have smutty and roan. Very cool.
and here's one of the horse that has stripes that no one knows where they come from. Unlike the ones Riverdance described where the stripes can e removed this one's stripes don't shave off, they're on the skin. He's a bay with smutty and unknown stripes not a brindle not a dun.
That's because they are brindlesThe bay, I am not so sure of. I have a smutty bay filly who also has strips like that, but I do not consider her a brindle, just a smutty bay. When you shave her down, the stripes are really hard to see, whereas the one from Florida and Marbles, the strips stand out like a sore thumb.
I'm glad you like my avatar haha me tooI love your avatar with the elephant on the trampoline.
Yea, I am not looking forward to writing this article and the research involved. Especially when it comes to the smutty bays and the fact that some people feel they are brindles. I am starting to feel like I am back in college with a term paper due.Don't get me wrong, I love doing the research, just not the writting.
I might take you up on that in the future. Could you send me pictures of your boy clipped and in longer coat?I think the confusion comes because smutty is involved. If I can help you with your paper please let me know. I can answer any questions you have about Ozy my smutty bay. He's very special...very unique but shouldn't be considered a brindle. I'd be more than happy to help if you want pictures or info.
I can send you winter pics....just e-mail me when you are ready for them. I'm afraid you'll have to wait til next spring for clipped pics. I had a computer crash 6 months ago and stupidly hadn't backed my files up so all I had left were pics online that I had to download back to my new computer. I'd be more than happy to supply them next spring...if you're in need before that I could shave one small spot just to show the stripes remain.I might take you up on that in the future.

Until this farm is ready for winter, I really do not have the time to write, but the long winter ahead should give me plenty of time. Then I will need all the help I can get!!
Anyone else want to contribute?
Any time you wouldl ike to send them woud be fine. I already hve the pictures from the other brindle, who will be included in the article.I can send you winter pics....just e-mail me when you are ready for them.
Yes it would be, but not something that will be easy to do and it will take years. I am not getting any younger and do not know how many more years I will be able to do this by myself. I will have to wait until Marbles is 3, then her best chance is to breed her back to her sire. So she will be 4 before she has her first foal. Then there is only a 50/50 chance. Maybe better with her sire.I think it would be super cool for Marbles to become the famous matriarc of a line of brindles.
