I was so surprised when I clipped Velvet. She is a Seal brown and when we clipped her she looked like a beautiful velvety charcoal gray with black mane and tail.

That's because clipping does shocking things to the colour
Far as I'm concerned the only proper version of a horse's colour comes through in their summer coat. Winter coats can obscure things a bit, such as with Tinker I can't see his sabino ticking in his winter fluff.
If anyone has AMHA studbook access can you look up a horse for me?
Tahoss Megan Princess A12398
She's in Tinker's pedigree and my usual info finding hasn't found anything about her lines.
Thanks Diane!
Too bad about the deadend. She must have been a nice horse because Silverado was a stunner.
She's also in Rivain and Lyric's pedigrees.
I tend to follow my pedigrees back as far as I can, I find it really interesting!

And some shots of home from a few days ago. Taken from the front veranda while I was watching our wedge tail eagles hunting. That's one of them in the second photo perched on the fence, amazing birds! We are so lucky to have a breeding pair that lives so local.

Oh my goodness, poor Fantasy!! If she doesn't foal very soon she will pop! But she's looking really close so hopefully it wont be long now.
Bree, what a beautiful outlook from your veranda - I could sit there all day just looking at the scenery (and those fabulous birds!).

Thanks everyone!
his owners were devestated understandably. I'd always wanted a Silverado colt but after his death the prices of his direct offspring really climbed, they still have! Thankfully a year later my friends agreed to sell me Tinker and I got my Silverado colt
On the topic of bloodlines I think everyone knows how much I love the Buckeroo line but I'm also very fond of the Orion Light Vant Huttenest. My first mini came from his lines so I have a soft spot for them.
Rivain comes from those lines as well through Brewers Flight of the Phoenix.
So Lyric is both my Buckeroo Filly and my Orion Filly
:wub When I cross her with Tinker I get to chuck Silverado and Bond Snippet into the mix!
When we moved out here my father insisted that we didn't live anywhere flat... but I isnsisted on nothing too hilly since it's a pain to manage horses on. We ended up on a hill with a very gentle slope down until we reach the midway gate which seperates the two sections of property, it drops down really dramatically at that point and then we are on the flat were we grow hay. So dad and I both got what we wanted!
We're on 40 acres, 12 on the flat and the rest up here.
We keep planting up sections on the property to bribe them to hang around
they also show up to visit my avaries.
:wink
I know, I remember when it happened

I'm the same! It's my favourite lighting, especially when the grass is long coming into spring and summer and those heavy clouds roll in. It's such lovely landscape.

I love our big eagles when they come back, we have them for anywhere between 3 to 6 months before they move on to another section of the area. We always have little falcons hanging around along with blue wrens on the flat and up here cockatoos, corellas, galahs, black cockatoos, rosellas
If she doesn't pop soon I'm just going to give her a BIG squeezy cuddle

what else can I add but that I totally agree with everything you have said Bree!!!!!!!!
I see you have the same view as me
Best country ever
Sorry international people but it's true
I love it when we get summer storms. The grass is yellow, the trees stay that typical eucalypt green and we have the hills in the background. The these giant black clouds come rolling in and make everything go dark but the grass stays such a crisp gold colour. Then you get giant flashes of lightning that just light everything up for a moment.
Plus it's usually been so hot that a break for the rain is so welcome. The horses hoon and roll like lunatics and I'm usually jumping up and down for joy getting completly wet.
And then everything smells fantastic for awhile!

Your pics are fabulous. I am so envious of all your hills and green and rain. All we have around here is just a lot of brown. No rain to speak of this year so all the fields are barren. Hoping we have a wet winter.
OH MY GOODNESS!Poor baby. She is hugeShe has got to be so uncomfortable. Hope she foals soon.

She's certainly not the most comfortable horse here. But her trick of resting her belly on the hay bale with legs either side works well for her
We're in our wet years at the moment, lots of winter flooding and big storms. Give us another 3 or 4 and we'll be back to dryness and bushfires
Although I am on the bottom of Australia and in one of the wettest areas for my state, a deliberate move on our part to make the drought years easier. Owning minis helps with that as well

Roys Toy Snippets Silverado was from Bond Snippet, an awesome sorrel pinto born 1982, died 10/31/2007. He was an AMHA National Grand Champion Senior Stallion, National Champion, Reserve National Champion Get of Sire, AMHA High Point Stallion. He was also the first Miniature Stallion to become a Breyer Model Horse, and his statuette is now on the collectibles list! Quite a remarkable stallion - here are just a few of his titles:
1986 AMHA World Champion Senior Stallion >32"<34";
1986 AMHA World Champion Senior Color Stallions & Gelding;
1987 AMHA World Reserve Grand Champion Senior Stallion;
1987 AMHA World Reserve Champion Senior Stallion >32"<34";
1987 AMHA World Reserve Champion Senior Color Stallions & Gelding;
1987 AMHA World Top-8 Champion 3 By 1 Owner;
1993 AMHA World Reserve Champion Get-of-sire;
1995 AMHA World Top-10 Champion Get-of-sire;
and AMHA High-Point Stallion.
More than 10 of his direct descendants have been recorded as World show title winners.
Besides Silverado he sired: First Knights Sir Snippet (multiple National and Reserve National Champion, National Top Ten sire), La Vistas Snippetino (National Champion); Modern Mister Snippet (Supremem CHampion, multiple Grand Champion); Roys Toy Snippets Dobule Tuff (Reserve National Champion); Roys Toy Snippets Juliet (Reserve National Champion); Roys Toy Snippets Nickelette (National Champion in Halter and Driving); Roys Toy Snippets Silverette (Reserve National Champion); Roys Toy Snippets Starlette (National Champion); Roys Toy Snippets Sugarette (National Champion); Schears Snippets Silver Lining (National Champion) and Vermilyeas Snippets Red Tape (Reserve National Grand Champion).
I don't have any horses from this line, but I breed for appaloosas, not solids/pintos.
Your foals are worth what someone will pay for them.
Bond Snippet and Snippets Silverado did well in the show ring as have their foals, this makes direct progeny worth quite a bit.
Tinker was not as active in the ring as he could have been and limited outings effected his value, however he has had numerous foals go on to be multi champion and supreme winners. This raised his worth. As his progeny are proven any future progeny also hold worth.
Pallidon has been far more active in the ring and has a very impressive show record spanning multiple seasons, he has decent bloodlines but nothing famous up close like Tinker but until this season was unproven as a sire. If Lyric and Sterling do well then the value of his future foals will be increased.
And then all that can go out the window if someone doesn't give a hoot about bloodlines or show records.
Even if they do and they don't deem the foal to be up to scratch confo/type wise then the value can drop, not every sire/dam throws their good traits as strongly as we like!
I track sale prices all the time, I look at all the factors effecting them too. Colour, confo, show records, bloodlines, the stud name etc. Location can be a huge thing to. No matter how good a horse in WA is I won't buy it, the transport fees make it more cost effective to buy closer to home.
So in conclusion you have to look at what your stallion has done, what your mares have done, what previous foals have done, what their lines are like, the colour and confo and if the foal is a worthy stud or show horse in determining price.
Which means rose coloured glasses off and cold hard reasoning on wether or not they make the grade
