Here's my very confused Titchy, the pony Blitzenfys was on about!


Her 'confused' next and mane - three colours is a pain to plait!

And 'in the rough' before the start of this show season - showing her wacky bum marking.

Also random patch of chestnut on her neck along with the wacky bum

So... thoughts? Is she a chimera or one of the other types of markings?

Looks like a reverse dapple that's been clipped.
Was discussing this horse on another forum, and there's also a video of her unclipped, where she looks like a normal reverse dapple.


I love this horse!
Could be a chimera, or it could be for whatever reason the extension gene never got 'turned on', as it were, in those places.
I think if you DNA tested some red hair, and some black - one would come back as ee (chestnut/red based), the other E? (black based)

Stunning have a soft spot for sabinos :p

I have a sooty palomino (was informed of it here on HHO by another member XD. Can't remember who though:D). It makes perfect sense, but for years I strongly believed that there was no name for his colour :p

You must excuse his lovely tail in this next pic - he thinks it's hilarious to scrape his tail against trees the day before a show:rolleyes:

not a great pic but he had leg barring, dapples and a dorsal stripe in summer and greyish mane but was almost cream in winter I was told he was silver dun but I think someone else on here suggested he was a sooty palomino or a dunalino instead?
