???? If the dam is a black pinto, she can't be a dun just because she has dun in her background. If she's Dun, she would "look" dun (not black). There would be no confusing the two....unless she has so much white on her that it covers where there may be dun markings. If that is the case, you...

Is Magic a Dun? One of the parents would have to be a Dun to throw a true Grulla. Also, I believe there is a 42 day rule in AMHA, stating that you must wait at least 42 days after breeding to one stallion, before breeding to a different stallion. So, the colt will definitely have to be...

I agree with Joanne. Sounds like oxygen deficiency at birth to me. I once had a foal born that had the cord wrapped around his poll & it pull the placenta loose prematurely. When he was born, he wasn't breathing. So, I gave him mouth to nose & got him going again. He was up quickly...

I am SO sorry to hear of your accidents with the fencing Julie! I have never used any type of woven fence, for that very reason. I use the 48 inch no climb horse fencing (2x4 squares)too, as some others have posted. I also use a strand of electric fence about 2' off the ground to keep the...

As to your original question.....yes, if both sire & dam are homozygous for black, their resulting foals will all be homozygous for black. Now, that doesn't always mean they will always LOOK black. Just means they will be a black-based color. Bay is a black-based color, the black body being...

I also feel the second foal is a Black Sabino. The coloring looks just like a little filly I have last week. She was born looking very dark...so I assumed she would be black. Well, after she dried out, of course she looked lighter, as most blacks do in their foal fuzzies. But, she is a LOT...

Mini pulls are becoming very common here in Ohio. There aren't a lot of people who compete....but the ones that do have several teams & compete at a lot of county fairs. I've watched them at our county fair two years now & I'm just amazed at how much they can pull. Pound for pound, they...

Some of my favorite photos of the minis born here at Kickapoo.

Kickapoos Apache Moon (31" Bay Frame Overo Stallion) and Kickapoo's Deja Vu (30.5" Chestnut Tovero mare)

Thanks guys.....I was a little more patient this time & saw the video. He is absolutely adorable & looks very much like a normal miniature foal. Just precious! Wonder how tall the parents are?

Well.....all I get when I try to watch the video, is a political advertisement for John Lynch!

Hemlock Brooks Cock Robin is also 32, and I believe is still breeding. He is living his retirement out with Angie Bauer at Hoofbeat Buckon Acres. I know she got a lovely filly from him a couple years ago, and the last time I talked to her, she was thinking about breeding him to one of her...

He is truly beautiful!!! I don't think there is any need to test for Frame tho....he is displaying the classic Frame pattern. Just gorgeous! How tall is he?

Gosh Cyndi.....I would definitely be getting a vet out there ASAP! Were you there when she foaled & you KNOW for sure it was retained? Is it hanging out of her at all & did you try tying it in a knot to help pull it out gradually? ....or do you see nothing? Sometimes, if a mare is in a very...

How ADORABLE is that! CONGRATULATIONS!

WELCOME AMANDA! Lil Beginnings is the best place for anyone to get information & advice on the Miniature breed. Also a wonderful place to make new friends!

He's gorgeous! Unless a bay horse is "homozygous" for black, it will carry one red gene and one black gene. "Gray" isn't a color...but a "pattern of white hairs". A "true gray" horse is actually born some "color" that has faded. So, the gray horse could be a black based horse that carries...

She's a little CUTIE! Yes....I think she's Silver Black (aka...Silver Dapple) as well.

Don't think your Black & White is a "true roan"....her entire body would be much lighter this time of year. The roaning she exhibits looks more like Sabino roaning......or "possibly" varnish roaning that you see on some Appaloosas (altho, I see no other indications of Appy on her). I really do...

I think he's got some "Sabino" going on. I see some roany areas & Sabino also causes jagged "lacy like" edges to the spots like he has.
