I posted last week that Crystal, my "Hawk" daughter will be foaling shortly or maybe. My yearling stallion is the culprit as I had not planned ANY breeding for this year. In the last few weeks she has been very "witchy" with the other horses and likes to be by herself outside and is VERY cuddly with me, which is not the independant Crystal I know and love. She is developing quite a bag, I noticed this morning, but I am unable to express anything at this point so I figure another two weeks maybe.
Crystal lost her foal last year, it was a maximum sabino filly with blue eyes, some black near her lip, like momma, and some black in her tail and a dot near her right front hoof. The sire was Jagger's father, Flash, who is a black and white pinto. Jagger is a product of my mare Abby and Flash. Abby is a silver bay and Jagger is a silver bay pinto (tobiano).
What do you think I will get with this breeding of Crystal and Jaqger? Will it be another maximum sabino? or is there a chance of the "color" being more visible. Crystal's carries I believe, through her sire "Hawk" the frame gene (she is LWO). I was rather surprised last year when she foaled a maximum sabino. She had another foal here with me, Allie, who was a bay appaloosa, so I figure she isn't homozygous for the sabino gene? Does that make sense.
Any guesses on what she might have as far as color? Ring test says colt and it's not failed me yet in predicting.
