Sorry, had to do it!!
So many people have been asking about colors of their horses lately that I had to share a couple of pics.
All 8 our our "JR" mares are some form of silver dapple - 2 solid silver black, 5 silver black Tobi's & 1 silver bay Tobi. But they have different shading. OK, some of the JRs aren't really JRs anymore. They are older than 3 now...
Here's 8 in a row -
(last one in photo above is Classy, not Ami - have to go redo the text on that photo)...
The filly in front is homozygous black. No cream gene... so not a palomino or smoky silver black. THINK she might be homozygous for silver as some of my other homozygous silver gened mares turned a gold color sometimes... Usually in July/August time frame - so has something to do with shading/sun fade I think...
KoKo is heterozygous black, 1 silver gene, no cream gene - had a white mane/tail when a foal; Classy hasn't been tested yet but could be either hetero OR homozygous black & silver - tobi gene came from sire; Flashi is homozygous black and single silver & Tobi; Ami is heterozygous black, single silver, no frame (sire was black frame); Flower hasn't been tested - sired by homozygous black & Tobi, single silver gene out of bay arabX pony mare; Shamrock hasn't been tested yet but is going to be homozygous black - could be homozygous Tobi & silver... I have many pictures of all of these mares since foals (KoKo only since she was 4 months old - not from birth).
