What kind of horse do you own?

[Cason]

I have 12 broodmares.. AQHA and APHA, and a grullo AQHA stallion. I have two mule foals this year- a paint and a dun.. and five horse foals.

Meaning a 17 and A HALF hand... its quite commonly used even though all the horse people know there are only 4 inches to a hand.

I have a dark bay Historical Boerperd stallion & a crazy chestnut Thoroughbred mare in South Africa. I have a dappled gray TWH x arabian in Israel which looks awful in his winter coat.

They are all beautiful!

I have a 20 year old Half Arab National Show Horse Mare named Hott Flash (name was funny 20 years ago, now...not so much!) that I haven't been able to ride in over 12 years due to a back condition that we've been trying to fix....but when I get better, we'll be going riding!

and then there's Gambler, a 24 year old recently half blind after a valiant attempt to save a cancerous eye, with a successful corneal transplant, that eventually went blind due to glaucauma (sp?) who myself and two friends adopted after no longer being wanted by his previous owner. He will live out his days here with us at www.ljrelite.com This pic was taken the first day he was able to be turned out after being in the stall for about 3 months post surgery. The Hood he wears has stainless steel mesh protection over the eyes.

No, they are not the same horse, i just ended up with chestnuts with white markings! Hottie is more of a liver chestnut, although it doesn't look like it in the pic!

I have a half Pony/ half Quarter Horse colt. His name is Logan. Momma was a dapple gray w/white mane and tail Welsh/Shetland cross. Daddy was a palomino yearling QH. He's now 6 months old. In this pic he was just about 1 month old.

dalmation app..thats funny,FYI they are called leopards

FYI the two patterns are completely different. The spots are even different. Leopards can have a blanket only pattern all the way to a complete spotted body. Dalmations are completely spotted..there is no blanket pattern. Although the Dalmation is often confused as a Leopard they are different. Check it out for yourself and take the time too look at the two.

It is no different than many people confusing a strawberry roan with a red roan. Close but no cigar.

guess we will have to agree to disagree,the blanket pattern with spots is called a "blanket with spots"..the leopard pattern is base coat white with any color spots,then you have the slangs for "near leopard","few spot leopard" and these are just discriptions as they are not even listed on the Appaloosa Horse Club Registry site..and nowhere does it say anything about Dalmation..now maybe thats what you are used to calling them there,as I have said before on here different parts of the world use different words and discriptions for the same thing..

I love all the pictures. My mother and I raise Quarter Horses together. I only have two of them at my house right now. I have Tuff, who is my son's gelding. Tuff is only two. I also have my yearling stud colt Heavens Blue Moon, also called Thunder. He is my future stallion. I sold his father last year to a wonderful home. Here is a picture of THunder. It isn't the best. I need to get a better one.

Here is a link to Appaloosa colors as I have know them:

http://www.thehorseguide.com/HorseColors/Appaloosa.htm

Oddly enough, on the ApHC site:

http://www.appaloosa.com/registration/indentify.htm

They make no mention of leopard as a base color, but say "Spots - refers to a horse which has white or dark spots over all or a portion of its body"

(Dalmation is not listed anywhere either and I have never heard of it used as a color for Appaloosas.)

I do not know how the ApHC registers leopard colored horses on their papers.
