fun with spots on...

[palo1]

Having followed Michen's thread and others it puts one to thinking...thankfully this one is going to be a bit too lightweight for me but looks like it might make a super fun prospect https://www.facebook.com/Whirlwindhorses-170503079645588/?
I am not connected with Whirlwind horses in any way btw -

I would want to check that the stallion is actually registered not just 'pure-bred'.

Of course - He is legit. He has Klaus in his breeding and also some Capitall horses which are fabulous imo. He is also tested n/n for PSSM. The youngster here has some very nice breeding I think - if only she would mature to 16hh!!

Deleted when I realised you weren't buying.

Well yes! I have a near leopard spot that has had many manifestations of coat pattern over the years. New/different spots almost every year!! But this one really is too small/light for me, I have a youngster at home and I do not want more horses here next winter.

It's fascinating how clearly you can see the texture difference between the spots and the background!

My freind has one of the whirlwind appaloosas. Beautiful horses with great temperaments. Her spots, are always fluffier than the rest of her coat.

My spotty has that too; his chestnut spots are much fluffier than his white hair. I used to think spots weren't really my thing (and recently chose a black youngster) but if I found another as good as mine I would have it at the drop of a hat.

Mine is the other way around, his spots are smoother

WhirlWind used to be a forum member on here and they know the breeder of my gelding. They very kindly sent me the foal photos (example below) of him that they took when they visited him after he was born.
