my minature horse

[SternRose]

Look how dark her legs are, compared to the color of her body. That looks like a bay to me. The silver gene removes all or most of the black from the mane and tail, and dilutes it elsewhere. The light mane and tail, red body, and slightly darker legs of this horse are classic Silver Bay. The light around the eyes, light muzzle, and light belly are known as the Pangare effect, and yes, it often is seen in Halfies and Belgians. If you had this girl DNA tested for color, my bet is that she'd come up as a Silver Bay  (black + agouti + silver). There isn't a test for Pangare (also called  "mealy"); they aren't even sure if it's caused by one gene or a combination of genes.

Ok so a silver bay or just bay?

Silver bay. A regular bay has a black mane, tail, and legs.

Ok thanks. I need help though. How do I pass mom test?

This is a little filly I might be getting soon. Anyone now her color?

I call that a flaxen sorrel

But the ring around her eyes could also mean she is a chestnut going gray. Halflingers and Belgiums are that color a lot if times.

Good eye catching the dark legs, could very well be silver bay.

Chickens are not really a sufficient companion for a horse. Goats would be much better, though another horse would be the best scenario.

What exactly did she say? What test exactly?
She probally just wants to make sure that you will care for her and be responsible for her care. Your mom just wants to make sure that you are not going to be excited at first then slack off.
She probally just wants you to show her you are responsible. Do research on her color and breed and health care. Depending on your age you csn contact local vets and get your ducks in row like cost of routine care and estamated cost for equine emergencies. Help with the building of her stall lean to and paddock. Just do you are very interested and that you will be responsible and that you won't tire if her.
The classes and hard work you are putting on her now is showing alot of responsibility to your mom already!

I would get the other filly but I can only afford this one. The other filly( I don't get the discount cuz I didn't train her) is 850-1,000. And as for the cage goes I think I'll be able to convenes them for a bigger cage. There's a corner in my yard that has fencing cuz my two nebiors. One has cattle and the other has chickens. So I could possibly make it bigger. With the corner pasture I'll spend less on the fencing. but does the goat need different feed? Or can they eat the same.

Yea it's a responsibility test/trial. Mom and dad are only considering getting her for two reasons. 1) I have a HEAVEY bond with her already.
2) they are extremely impressed with how well I trained her and how well I did at the show with her. Mom has a bond with her too now. Lol

Well some people that have horse with goats feed something called all stock. It's ok it will fill there belts buts it not the best quality. If you feed them together in the same paddock then just tie them seperatly for feeding time and I'd feed the goat, goat feed and feed the filly a good quality equine feed. They can share the same hay and water barrel and mineral block. Just make sure it's horse quality hay and a horse freindly mineral block.
