Smokin In KS

Imagine my surprise when I woke from my nap to find this

born about 2pm a very loud bay yes there is a little black in the tip of the tail and between the ears one blue eye and a very much Gunsmoke face.. he is in your face and very sweet trotted to me when I walked into the stall as if to say what took you so long endless night my butt she wanted 60 degrees and sunshine in her stalls this critter is Freckles Playboy, Doc Quixote, Mr Gunsmoke, Rey Jay, Cutter Bill wishing we had a little more color but with a saddle I think he will be really cute he has brown on one foot. Both are doing well.

awww Congradulations!

hehe mom waite until you were sleeping!

Yeah! Congrats! I hope my mare goes this easy!

I was nervous because she was late but she had one before the maiden mares are the ones that make me nervous.... she has had a colt before so that wasn't the part that worried me... good luck Cindy! On to the next who is next? My next is due first week of March and is maiden 3/4 sister to this mare only diff is she isn't a granddaughter of Doc Quixote but Nu Bar she is a little bit nuts though and bred to a minimal paint/aqha double registered Im hoping to get that same face and 2 tall hind socks like Elvis's foal got love those

What a handsome boy Lynn! Congrats he looks like a little chunky monkey

YIPPY!!! Congrats! Did you cry? I always cry!

I think if I hadn't been so surprised to look up and see white running in the barn cam (he was running in circles and couldn't be more than a hour old)and then running to the barn and looking for the black in the tail because that sire always throws tri and trying to figure out sex then cleaning stalls etc... by the time all that was done he was tired momma and him laid down and I just stood there and was so moved didn't cry but was so moved by it all... I think he is so beautiful and I really would have swore I didn't like paints w/all that white now..... and its funny both sides match almost perfect.. I think I will send off to see if he is homo.. and if he is the only boy I get (he is the 2nd in 10yrs.) maybe he will get to keep the jewels for a little while, we have been looking to have a 2nd stallion so we can have something to promote and then breed the fillies by Peppy we are keeping and promoting but he would have to be homo... I love his hip! He has his mommas deep low set hocks should be a stopping fool yeah..

Oh Lynn! He's beautiful! Lots of chrome and very well marked!

He is sooo cute!!!!

Glad to see more paint babies around here... then i dont feel so out of place lol

Lynn M.

Tooo Cute! And I was worried about keeping a white mane and tail white! Oh my goodness what are going to do? Sleepless nights, up and worried. And Ta Da. Congrats!

WOW.. Very nice baby.. HA HA HA .. I too have gone out and seen that little face looking at me saying "I AM HERE HUR RAY"


How sweet he is. Congrats What a relief it is for us worried grannies..

Way to go

HEY HEY LYNN How FABULOUS What a perfect little guy Hope hubby didn't yell too much after all his dragging to the barn I LOVE him SO beautiful blue eye too my FAVE Everything crossed for the HOMOZ test bet you're gonna be lucky When can it be done Never done one on a babe
More (LOADS) pics PLEASE

Yippey, Lynn, he finally came. I hope he is homozygous, lots of money in your pocket, with you guys showing him. Excellent bloodlines, what a little tooter! CONGRATS!

congrats,he sure looks nice.give him a nice hug from us over here in the UK

Congrats!!

[quote="Lynn M."]I think I will send off to see if he is homo.. quote]

Since his dam is QH (if I remember correctly) he will not be homozygous for paint. And since he is chestnut, he will not be homo for black... If both his parents carried agouti, he could be homo for that, however, I dont think its worth your money.

In order to have a homozygous tobiano foal, you must have two tobiano parents (I think you can also have one breeding stock parent who carries tobiano, and you have a shot at a homo tobi foal) , And even then, it is not a guarantee.

So personally, I would save my money... but if you want to see, go for it.

she does have aqha/apha papers so that was why we thought would test him breeding stock her sire is very colorful... and he is actually bay hard to tell from the pic I know but sire only throws tris- bay and duns/buckskins

Actually, if you breed a homozygous stallion to a ginny (female donkey), the baby will have color... okay, in some situations, homozygous do actually throw breeding stocks, and then you're up the creek, but you don't know about those... HA!

I'd have to ask a friend of mine, but my understanding is that if a homozygous stallion breeds with a mare, then the baby could also be homozygous. However, most homozygous horses have the look of the bear claw, etc. I'd still go ahead and get him tested, though, to see what percentage he's got in there, especially say if you were breeding him to a toby or overo mare, ups your percentage. I don't think he's homozygous either, just because I've seen so many who are... hunt for the danged bear claws and the spots in a certain arrangement.

But whether homozygous or not, he's sure a smart looking little tooter. I'd like to see him in the cutting pen!

yeah I think reining myself he has 2 speeds bucking and sleeping and I don't know anything about the homo stuff myself will be doing some research but just kind of wondering not really all that interested if one of the other mares will give me the stud prospect Ive requested...

I just go back and forth with the whole paint situation we have the 2 mares that are double registered so we joined the apha today if the other mare foals a stud colt he will be my prospect as he will be double registered but no way will he be homo he will be really very limited color if any. I think with the bloodlines we have a colored stud could really clean up in the ring and then make a killing as a stallion crossed on some of my mares so I go back and forth a lot. The trainer who has Peppy right now also does paints and loves the Doc Quixotes so I know he would show for me- he hits Paint Vegas, congress etc.. all the big ones.. I just don't know I do know it is time to be bringing along my next stallion as Peppy is now 10 and it takes time to make a good one.

You're on the right track there. Even if the colt doesn't show in paint shows, but just straight NCHA or NRHA, you've got it whupped!

Thanks Cedars I know once he gets fat and gets to really running around and some outside time it will be really alot easier to see his potential.. but it is nice to have a sounding board too someone to bounce ideas off of... I also already have someone interested in him makes me wonder if I shouldn't give him a chance if someone paint and performance is already wanting him hmmm

check out this face doesn't he look up to something

Ohhh, you didn't tell me he had a blue eye... one or two? Added bonus there!

He looks to me to be a looker, which is a big plus. If he looks good in the cutting or reining ring, doesn't really matter what color he is, if he's winning, but if he's got it, even better. And can sire some babies out of his first or second foal crop are doing the same. Plus, the argument we were talking about if I bought that toby paint, standing him, etc., people do like a variety. Cutting and ranch-type horses are in.

Oh, to have money where you could do everything and promote the heck out of our horses! ARGH!

watch out Lynn. i might put him on the trailer with sophie!!!

Cedars just the one blue eye which is fine the other side of the face doesn't have as much color and I dont like blue eyes in a white face so this is just enough for character
Jamie yeah you are here party time and absolutely not! Only because momma was bought for Peppy-Bob would hunt you down and it wouldn't be pretty That mare is very special.... don't find many bred that well anymore. Once he's weaned we'll talk. HAHA

Love that baby and his pedigree.
7Cedars was saying that sometimes a homo stud can throw a breeding stock. Apparantly this is because they are guaranteed to throw tobys but not all tobys have enough color to be considered for reg papers. They still carry that toby gene though. Amazing what genetic research shows us
