Jeeze you guys. She dosent know! Whats the big deal? Shes an awesome coach. I wanna help her out. She really dosent care about the breed or color as long as shes a good little mare.
I do. I want to know. 'cause well I ride this little mare and I like to get information on her. I really like her. Shes a great mare !
She looks like a Pony of America (POA) and paint cross. She has the LP gene from the POA (just like an Appy) and what looks to be tobiano from the paint side.
Ahh Pony of America ... thats really good. Never would have guessed. And ah-- true. So she'd be like.. a red roan Tobiano? Sorry the appy spot on her rump throws me off.
she looks like a pintaloosa. but thats just color pattern i assume since she doesn't look much like an appaloosa aside from color. i agree with the POA- paint cross
yeah alot of people have and take care of horses without properly knowing colors! i know old cow boys who take fantastic care of their horses and call paints "spotted horses" and bays and such brown horses. and she may have just gotten the horse not to long ago and not know the color yet. not everyone is brushed up on their colors ; )
My issue is just a personal pet peeve with people breeding unknown breeds to unknown breeds and also not taking the time and effort to research their own horses. When breeding I believe it should be a well bred horse to another well bred horse, and preferably something that qualifies for a registration of some sort. There are enough really good working school horses without breeding more, and affording one while horse prices are so ridiculously low isn't too terribly hard.
Sounds like this mare was given to your coach pregnant though? In which case, fine it was a gift horse that she just didn't take the time to research and she's going to get a baby no matter what.
I don't know if this topic really requires any rudeness....And 'accedents' are sometimes far more of a gift than you make it sound Zeke.
She is cute, and if she's a good girl, then that trait will hopefully pass on to her foal. If she's a poa she'll be a hardy, sturdy horse, and her foal will follow suite.
Her coloring is definitely a 'pintaloosa' with what looks like a combo of tobiano and sabino, which adds to the odd combo of markings as well as the roaning. Depending on her genes she could be a chestnut with the sabino gene, or she could be a red roan, which is more of a sorrel, not that I'm a genetics guru, but I read up on ALOT of colors and gene combination.
In other words...she's a wonderfully unique horse and if you feel you need to say more than she's just amazing, tell them that she's a red roan pintaloosa just to keep it simple and not get all into her genes lol.
Hope all goes well with mare and forthcoming foal.
In the uk we would say she is a Skewbald which is the term for a red and white horse. The red markings on your pony look strawberry roan, but we would still class her as a skewbald.
As for breed I would say she has a few lines there. She does look like she has both horse and pony lines in her. her head being quite horsey.
Rudeness isn't needed, I already said it was simply a personal preference that an owner take the time to research the horse they own, especially when in foal. Why attack a personal opinion? I'm no expert, ignore me if you chose. Posted via Mobile Device
