Quick question for you, thought you might like to figure out!

This is a 2007 colt that we had born on our property, was an oops pony cross, we got the mare and didn't know she was pregnant.
So... this is Boots, born on the 4th.
Splash? {I have pics of mom if you'd like them, but not dad, dad is unknown} Guess before you see mom though, and then mom can help you decide if your right!
Just a hint, mom is a paint, but I don't know if she is splash or not.

I am going to say yes its possible.

I would say yes too. The blaze definately has a bottom heavy look to it, and the muzzle has the "dipped in milk" look, and the whites on the legs appear to be higher in the back than in the front. I would like to see pics of mom

Being paint, there might be other factors there.

and it appears from the pics that it falls off on the side

Not trying to hijack the thread, but since it's along the same lines...What do you guys think of THIS mare's blaze?

kyryah · 02-23-2008, 01:02 PM

Based on the blaze alone, IMHO, I would say it is possible, but there are no real heavy indicators of it. Her blaze is somewhat bottom heavy, but it doesnot appear to be too offset.

There is no telling how minimal splash can be, as I said in another post talking in terms of Haflingers and that I believe that Haflinger blaze's are splash, so that is why I say it is possible.

Anyone else? I am not the expert on this one, lol, just throwing my guess out there for feedback purposes

I would say possible but probably not highly likely. No blue eyes (I know I know I am the queen of splash with no blue eyes but) she has nothing else except for that blaze. If it was a bald face only I would say definately but its not its just a blaze. So for me its possibly.

Thanks guys. Added to the fact that she is purebred thoroughbred I'm sure it's an extremely minimal possibility. Just for fun though, here's a colt out of her by a certain SWB stud--

Does that white on his left side go down the side of his nose? or is it just shadow?

Unfortunately I don't know, he was born before I bought the mare and although I've tried, I haven't been able to get his owner to return my calls to meet him.

ETA-- I feel like I'm cheating without posting his sire. http://briar899.com/ I'm pretty sure he got his white characteristics from his dad
