For Luci???? I know I'll most likely lose the colour but would like a nice little show hack type for my girls in a few years time. I really like the idea but have had some boo hissing from others at the idea which is now putting doubt in my mind.

I know I'll most likely lose the colour

What colour is Luci? Hard to tell clearly from your signature, if she's Grey do you know what colour she was historically?

Nope not grey she's a palamino.

I actually like him. In terms of loosing the colour, well you still have a 50% chance of getting a dilute (a buckskin would be nice - LOL!) Also he looks fine and quite small (is he?) so probably not a bad idea as she's getting older and had a rough foaling the last time (if I'm thinking of the right mare?)

ETA Dan I should have sent a bit of work your way yesterday if you got the call "is it or isn't it a mule?"

He's VERY nice, as the write up says "an eye full"......I think he and Lucy would be a great pairing....

Yea Luci did have a rough time with having Toby last time, so a smaller stallion would be better for her. I like this one. X

Ah my personal favourite, although your original statement about probably losing colour is accurate. Without DNA testing, and assuming that the stallion is carrying a chestnut gene, you can expect any one of the following: Buckskin and Bay are most likely (both being about 30% chance each) you could have Smokey Black, Chestnut (therefore Palomino itself is remotely possible) or even solid black.

Ah yes, I took that call. The standard DNA profiling test should flag up the unusual Donkey DNA (if its there) because the range is so much different. If not, there's a primer we can get hold of which is specifically for this test. I'm actually quite excited about it!

I like the look of him, MissP. How big is he?

He's meant to be 15.3hh

He looks lovely!
