She looks more "brown" because shes kicking out that baby Hair, and because I saturated the pictures slightly when i took them so she would "pop" better. She is not as light in person as the pictures may portray to you. To add to it she will be getting color tested as she could be homozygous black. I may also check agouti just to be sure. If you saw her in person, You'd have no doubt. That I promise. I'm guessing then she has not shed out the baby fuzz around her eyes and muzzle then, it just looked like she had already shedded her fuzz on her face, sorry if I had offended you..Edit to add: I was going by all that brown on her face.. Technically and genetically there actually isn't a 'brown.' There are sunburnt blacks (sometimes they are smoky ) and there are really dark bays (there is a modification allele that can really darken the bay almost to black, similar to a sooty gene on a buckskin ). Both of these get registered as browns because they get the light around on their face and around their flanks. It would be great if AQHA would catch up with the science. : )
I thought a true black didnt have any brown/red hair on them..So I'm guessing my brown is more a dark bay or a sunburnt black, hummmm..

| I have a yearling I am very excited about. He had a pretty big ego from the moment he hit the ground but gelding him in April seemed to help that a ton 
He looks like he should end up being good sized, very smart and watching him just out playing he is really fun to watch! We are looking forward to his first rides next fall. If I knew how to attached pictures I would.... But I am one of those who it would take more money than what the market probably is on him to buy him, wise decision or not I absolutely love him!

The trouble with trying to decide color based on what you see is sometimes it's wrong. I've seen horses that looked brown (per the description in AQHA's handbook) but genetically they were black. They didn't have a bay gene (agouti = A). So they technically were black. I've also seen the opposite where they sure look true black to my eye. But they are genetically bay/brown. One of the testing companies said they had found a gene that caused bay to be really dark and called it At. But it's not been proven to be true. Testing is the only way to be sure what color genes are present.

Is he/she roaning out? Kinda hard to tell by the picture, almost looks like a rose gray except for the head, maybe a blue roan or a bay roan.. I dont care what color but I like very much  |

WYOracer - 2018-07-18 11:52 PM So what do y’all think is going to be his magic cross?
I am guessing DTF---for one, they cross with everything plus the people that have Slick have the means to get them, they are not cheap !!!!!!!!!!!
Ill go one generation ahead and say he's exactly what some heavy DTF breeding programs need. If the mare is not a daughter she seems to be breed to a son (not starting a debate I know there are other options and not everybody does this) but I think he will turn out to be a fantastic out cross on those mares. And like you said, they can cross with anything. |

Location: somewhere up north | Fancie_That_Chrome_ - 2018-07-17 2:11 PM Slick By Design X SorryICantStopToChat X Pritzi Dash 3 month old black filly She was a little bit stubborn and not super friendly when first born. It took her some time to warm up but once she learned people give scratches and nose kisses... She's all about us. Her pictures today were also the first time she was ever tied solid and she didnt pull back once. Was pretty easy to halter break. Turns both ways loads nice and easy. This is a really nice filly. I'm excited to have a full sibling due in 2019.
What color is the dam on this one? |
