Wylie is a true Palomino!!!!!

[minimule]

The registry thought she was a light sorrel so I had her tested for cream. She came back as heterozygous for cream!!! So, I guess her dam was really a palomino tobiano that grayed out rather than a sorrel tobiano. Oh well, either way.....I'm happy!

HOW WAS IT TESTED??

I pulled tail hair (she wasn't too happy about me trying to pull mane hair!) and sent it in to Animal Genetics in FL. They can test for several different colors.

She was extremely beautiful even as a baby, what color was her dad? I think she is awesome! May I ask you what your feeding program is for your mules and donkeys? What besides hay do you feed?

Wylie certainly is a beauty and she really does look palomino to me, also. I love that rich golden color - she was a darling baby!! I'm also wondering what color was her Dad?

 

[Shari]

Wow,, she is growing nicely!!

Daddy is a brown with red in his background. We did some research last night and found that her Grandsire on her dam's side is a Palomino. Took some looking as her dam was a grayed out sorrel tobiano.

This is Daddy, Short Assets Kilroy

and this is the best photo I have left of her dam.

As for my feeding program.....

Everyone gets Nutrena SafeChoice in amounts to fit their own needs. I weigh my hay and feed a 75/25 grass/alfalfa mixture for the mules.
