Tagalong. Thank you. Excellent post. I am very similar to tagalong - I love satire and I am the first one to poke fun at ourselves - but this is not comedy and it is not funny. Jill, something you should remember - while Americans mock us for things that are stereotype...we are constantly...

I, too, am shocked Matt. I generally try and respect the opinion of every person on this board, regardless if I agree with that opinion. Unfortunately, in this case, that seems like a slap in the face to our Canadian soldiers. These soldiers are fighting because YOUR government requested their...

Wow...that is just...I have no words...I thought it was a parody show at first... We don't mock your military, nor do we disrespect the soldiers you have lost - sad that some Americans feel it is all right to mock us.

All right you! We need more than teasing! Is there another mystery horse that you aren't telling us about?

Thanks for posting!

I was just wondering if anyone on here has participated in the Big Sisters or Big Brothers program. I am speaking with the coordinator at my local office regarding this, though I am still deciding if I have the time to do it. If you have, could you tell me about your experiences with it? It's...

She is very sweet! I love boxers. We have a brand new Maremma puppy, though we also have a year old male. This girl is VERY different than Eli. Her name is Shiloh and she will be a much better guard dog than Eli is. She's already alert and instinctual. Eli is just a big goof

It sounds to me like a moose as well. Large, dark, trotting, yes, that sounds like a young male or a female moose.

It's interesting that with two tobiano parents he did not end up tobiano. Unless one or both are homozygous for tobiano, there is 25% chance of the foal being born solid...which in this case came to be He is a beautiful black colt!

I just got home and opened my gift! Thank you so much RedWagon! I received a yummy smelling candle, a box of Chocolate Covered Cherries, a bar of Cherry and Chili Lindt chocolate and a CD - Brad Paisley Christmas! :D

Yep! Sometimes you REALLY have to look closely to see the darker points that tell you its a silver rather than a red based!

This is definitely getting interesting! :D Yes, absolutely! Because black is the dominant gene, it can hide red. Yes, two red parents can only produce chestnut. BUT! The reason it gets interesting, and what chandab was explaining is that because silver bay can look very, very similar to a...

Congrats! I'm happy for both of you! :D

I assumed buckskin as well, but an odd shade. Smokey Black makes more sense, but some of the shades that minis come in for colours are very odd indeed LOL! :D I love discussing colour genetics. It's one of the most interesting part of owning minis!

Thanks for the clarification. I stick with my original opinion that he is a sooty buckskin For the blue eyes - yes, it is generally accepted that Splash or Frame cause blue eyes, BUT it is possible to have blue eyes with Sabino. It is thought that while it isn't NECESSARY and Sabino doesn't...

I'm confused about something... On his pedigree it lists Hunt House Farms Rogues Native, Glenns Southern Rouge x Spring Valleys Native Love. On his page it lists Cadle Creeks Rogues Native, a buckskin looking horse. I searched Cadle Creeks Rogues Native and found a page that lists Cadle Creeks...

I'll take a stab at these horses Do you have photos of Romeo's sire and dam? Looking at him in this picture, I would say he was either a seal brown or a very dark bay. I went to your website, however, and some of his other photos show the buckskin. The modifier gene, sooty, is what causes the...

Oh, I see. I'm sorry to have misunderstood your intentions

Of course a dun would need a creme gene to produce a dun with creme, but it is still considered a dilute gene. I'm not trying to disagree with you on what causes palomino, buckskin or smokey black. It's just a fact that dun IS a dilute gene, just as silver and champagne are. I'm sorry to...

There are several different types of dilution genes. Creme is the main one people generally think about when you say "dilute" but it is not the only one. The following is quoted from equinecolor.com "Palomino, Dun, Silver Dapple and Grullo are just a few of the colors that are created when a...
