Another great idea.. Tell your husband he has a team now.. OK, so we start waiting for pictures...

Color is so exciting.. I love it. Appy is the same way. There is just something about that foal coming out and the surprise.. Way more fun then brown

Hey Tara Love your guy...Can't wait to sort the photo thing want to send you photos of my Mare Boy they could have AMAZING babies Has your boy been OWLS tested??
I have not gotten my Mare tested yet

Hey I know what you mean So cool Negative We have only got the pond to negotiate next

Love his color pattern, Boy, Id hate to have to draw his markings, good thing they do Pictures.

I also owned his half sister, I sold her when I bought him back.

Tara
Hey Sweets is very like the half sister Above hock & knee 4 stockings & whole face white Sorrell the same colour wonderful I say

Jools you need to get some pictures on here so we can see your horses.

sorry to cut in here...... but I just wanted to say that the term for the Lethal White Overo Syndrome... is LWOS... LOL people used to refer to it as OWLS but truely, it is LWOS... I said it once to a good friend of mine (whom is also a paint breeder) and she just laughed at me for a good 20 minutes cause I said OWLS....

Anyways, Your boy looks like a Sabino Frame overo to me tara. But more often than not, you will get a large amount of color off of your QH mares, because many quarterhorse mares do carry the overo pattern, hence how we get cropout QH's. Thats also why it is so important to test your stallion's for LWOS, to help guarantee the avoidance of a Lethal foal. It is just as possible for a QH mare to carry LWOS as it is for a breeding stock paint with Overo in their lines.

His half sister sure is cute! I'd LOVE to have her! lol

But yes, he is a very nice stallion!!! Him and big momma have a 50/50 shot of throwing a pally, and 50/50 on paint (with high chances of sabino )

But I do think it would be a nice halter prospect!!!

Actually it is OLWS but I like to say OWLS darn it it makes it funnier. I guess your right on the sabino part because all of his foals have that white roaning through their hair and it gets bigger as they age.

I am hoping for a great cross between him and Miracles mom I think with her heavy frame and bulk and his pretty the foal *should* be a nice little weanling futurity foal. I may even get lucky enough to have one good enough to go to the APHA World, now that would be a dream come true. Due to where I lived at the time Specks never got his shot at the World Show. When I did have a well known paint person want to show him at the world in 1999 I had to go get myself divorced in oct of 1998....sheesh I am always a day late and a dollar short. I should have waited till after the world show LOL

>>His half sister sure is cute! I'd LOVE to have her! lol<<

I sold her to a lady who was going to show her as an all arounder. I lost touch with her I often wonder how she is doing. I raised her from 4 months old until I sold her at 3 1/2 years old

I don't know Merikle, Miracles dad is like 15.1ish she gets her height from her mom for sure. Specks is 16 hands and so is my mare so it really should be big but we all know how what we think will hjappen usually happens the opposite LOL.

Yes he is a frame overo but I like his speckled look better then the ones I think of as frame. You know those with the clear cut lines like. Thats how he got his name Specks I used to call him my little speckled egg when he was a weanling.

lol, I meant like miracles nice big bum and her width more than the height... But if Specks is that tall, the foal *should* be around that height as well... But I just hope it gets momma's width too!

I thought he looked like a frame, but the sabino comes at me right away.

I'm not a huge fan of overo's myself, but I'd rather have a sabino overo, than just an overo... I am a tobi person though...

His speckling reminds me of my filly I had in 06, she isn't nearly as obvious to being a sabino as specks, but you can see it.




Typical of Sabino's, They have "lightening strikes" up their knees and or hocks, and My filly has that along with speckling on her shoulder, and mottling under her belly... excessive facial white etc ect... So you can look for foals like mine here by specks, and you have a mild sabino. Your stud is a little over mild sabino.
