Mahal,
congrats to this sweetheart. He is sooooo cute!
I’ve to confess I’m a bit confused on Modern Art’s color… He really looks like a true perlino - but as other members already wrote: Palomino x Cremello usually produces palomino or cremello.
Can you please tell me the color of Modern Art’s grandsires and granddams? Is there a buckskin or so? I know from other breds that sometimes a foal with a “crazy”, unusual color was born.
For example: Friesian horses. They are always black, but sometimes “red horses” (I think you guys call it “sorrel”?) will be born. They are very rare and very expensive - but it is possible. I also know about a grey (proofed purebred) Friesian gelding.
Friends of mine are breeding peruvian pasos. Two or three years ago, a buckskin filly was born. The sire was a rare palomino (rare in that bred, at least in Europe) and the dam was a sorrel. The filly has had a golden skin and black mane, tail and legs - a wonderful buckskin.
That’s why I am a bit confused on Modern Art’s color and I am looking forward to learn more on the color of his Grandparents and Great-Grandparents.
Have a great day
Sonja
