Coloured Horses

[broco]

Arctic cat is neither bay, cream nor roan he's a true buckskin, hra's colour desriptions are ridiculous.
Goes hand in hand with the hrnsw write up calling My Rona Gold the fastest roan in Australia when she's nothing near a roan she's a grey, hasn't even got a roan parent, totally different genetics and very different colours.

A Bit Of Bling is buckskin skewbald so his progeny can come out either of those or plain colours, he's not the chunky buckskin stallion he's actually well over 16hands athletic and very well proportioned, the chunky one stands in mildura and never raced, he's not a quarter of the type snow is.

My buckskin is the one on Facebook for sale, she's the last coloured on the place and once she's gone there will never be another one here

A bit sad to hear Monique. I saw ABOB at his first start at Horsham, maybe the colour fooled me but I remember him as being 'big boned'

[broco]

Solid but no more big boned than the big art majors or modern art stock, think the white legs offer a bit of an illusion

Ernieson a 4yo first starter in R1 at Ballarat was definitely bred to be a Skewbald
BUT despite the dam Life Of Chiquita being one, as is sire Ernie Eldorado (this is the first of his 5 foals to race)
Ernieson is a bay

Good old Snowtime. Wherever a coloured horse pops up at the races he usually pops up in the pedigree.

HOLY COW

I just noticed that Ernie Eldorado his skewbald sire is in the same race

He is now a 9yo and has not raced since his 2yo season

Dad Ernie El is only pony size while his son didn't seem too interested

Going way, way back this. Karamea Snow, a piebald, ran in the 1972 Interdominion final at Albion Park. On the old 800 metre right-handed track. Drew the pole and galloped out losing all chance.

There were a number of piebald/skewbald Karamea horses in the 70's and 80's. IIRC, Cini's had a couple of them.

Karamea Snow was the true black and white piebald. His dam, Snowfall, was a full sister to the stallion Snow Time. Their dam Snowflake was a piebald Dillon Hall mare owned by Noel Simpson. Whenever you see a coloured horse at the racing do some pedigree research an you'll nearly always fun old Snowflake or her offspring lurking in the distant past.
