Ive always loved brindle horses ...

TrueColoursFarm · 09-07-2005, 10:14 AM

and now it turns out that I actually HAVE one!

This marking on Faux Finish - my buckskin sabino TB filly's shoulder is getting darker and longer and more noticeable as time goes on.

It would be considered a "partial brindle" and I would LOVE to see if it does breed through in successive generations!

I think its awfully cool looking even though it looks like I perhaps havent groomed her!

(ignore the dirt smudges to the right and left of it though - thats where I truly DIDNT groom her before picture taking time!

)

Here is a picture of another VERY strong brindle - Catch A Bird - a TB stallion in Australia:

Neat looking, isnt he?!

That's so cool. I have never actually seen a brindle horse, but I becme fascinated with them after reading Sara Gruen's novel "Riding Lesson's".

My dog is a brindle and I think the markings are WONDEFUL! How awesome for you!

HAHA!!! What a great book! Also the first place I ever heard of them too. I thought it was made up so I started doing some research...and then got into the champagens too.

Me too! I thought it was totally made up! i sat there reading that book trying to picture a brindle horse, all I could see was my brindle pit bull!

Goodness it looks like Sara Gruen single handedly put bridled horses on the map! I read it too! I had never heard of them so I "googled" them and WOW....very cool! I'd love to have one.

Here is another really pretty brindle mare:

(I wish this mare came in a Thoroughbred!
