What's your guess on Newman's color??? He started out as another lighter colored Palamino ( Rolling Eyes ) but is turning into this....his Momma is my favorite mare. She's so creatively named "Roan" Laughing Since we've had Roan, she's had a Red Roan, a polka dotted Palamino, a buckskin, and now...Newman!


Newman being a big goof ball






This is the sire...he's a palamino, but very dark


Hunty and her crop out paint baby...I think he's a classy rascal

Sorry the pics aren't better. It was just about 100 here yesterday, and the flies are horrid.

In advance, thanks for any thoughts on Newman's color. We need to get the babies registered...

Cheers---

Awww Your babies are soo cute!!


Mom's guess is grey, my guess is a roany version of the sire. The sire to me looks more grey or Grulla, rather than a Palimino. But it could just be the picture.

What is the sire, and does it have any appy blood in it?

Thanks Katy....we have 10 foals, I think. We have a mix of lots of colors...a sorrel, sorrel paint, bay, brown, several palaminos, and a buckskin....and whatever Newman is. Smile

No, no App. QH on both sides of both stallion and mare as far back as you can go. As a matter of fact, "Newman" is double bred Sun Frost, and with that much Sun Frost, you'd think there would be disposition issues, but there aren't.

Neither of Roan's buckskin or roan progeny have spots. Her other palamino has spots...one of our horsemen neighbors calls them breed spots. They just give her more character...which she was full of prior to having them. None of "Yellow's" (the stallion) progeny with other mares have or have had spots.

Oh, I hope your Mom is right and he turns grey. That has been my wish...to have a grey foal. He really needs to go into our sale, and we really don't need another gelding around, but I bet I could put him to good use!

Yes, that's a chuck of hide missing off of Winnie....my better guess is she messed with the wrong boss mare. Ouch! We put some dressing and fly spray on it, and she'll have to be good to go. Winnie is lazy ace's sister's retired breakaway horse and lives on a pedestal higher than most around here. We wish his sister would take her to her house!

While down taking pictures, another favorite of mine, Silly Filly, got double barrelled from one of the old boss mares (I think Silly's granddam.) I bet she's pretty sore today.

If you're gonna have a band of mares, you'll have scrapes, cuts, and scars on them.

I'm guessing he will be what John Johson, the pedigree man and banker, a smutty dun. Or smutty palamino.

Either way, it's a pretty color and not too common so it should make him worth more.

I'll swap you straight across for a real well bred, real nice filly. Very Happy

Nice built colt...and he is a hard one to give a color name to, but I'm thinking maybe he'll grey out too, with the darker spots to give him that "my name is sue!!!" attitude..lol Nice pictures...
