This series is a LOT of fun! Way too cool.

Thanks, BigCountry!!!! I was honored to see these remarkable horses. The pony's dam (pony is on the right of this photo), by the way, is a fantastic Paint racing champion - quite a few championships under her belt (including what seems the equivalent of our Horse of the Year - she's a World Champion).

Great pictures! Very cool to see!

I gotta admit, I've got a HUGE hang-up for Paint racing... even though I've never seen one and really have no idea what's going on. I just think it's absurdly cool... got a few issues of their mag. in the mail a couple years ago and was way too entertained ;-)

We are hoping to get one of those someday! I have an all white Paint mare (85% TB) that we are breeding to our TB who is sired by another white TB Bright White. Her foal last year was a chestnut sabino overo. On the full TB foals so far 50% white is the most we have gotten. Can't wait to see what this spring brings!

Good luck, camohn! I so hope you get a white wonder eventually! I'll bet your mare is beautiful. :)

This is an amazing sight! I'd love to have been there. One thing to worry about with the QH breeding though (dunno if it also applies with TBs) is Lethal White Syndrom. Good luck with your mare camohn! Sounds like a beauty! :)

I don't believe it applies to white TBs, Limehousefan - I've often read that it doesn't- and white/colored TB breeders definitely mention that in articles/forums. Always nice to see you visit! :)

The lethal white gene is synonomous with the frame overo pattern. Frame is present in the TB gene pool, but the pattern found on white TBs is sabino, so there is no risk of a lethal white foal. :-)

Yes!!! So happy to see you visit with your expertise, Mumtaz! :))))) Thanks!

I just noticed the name of the Paint mare on top, Flashy Dash. Her 2 grandsires (Easy Jet and Dash For Cash) are the same as my white Paint mare's! They are very closely bred.

Flashy Dash is by Judge Cash (by Dash For Cash) out of an Easy Jet mare. My girl is by the racing QH Deregulate (by Dash For Cash) out of an Easy Jet mare.

Beautiful pictures, got this link from scsporthorses where she is showing your pics of Arctic Cielo. What beautiful animals

What beautiful pictures! I love the pictures you take promoting the Airdrie Apache line! I am expecting my first sabino foal in May, the foal's sire is Arctic Cielo! The pictures you took of Cielo were amazing as well!
