Re: [RC] horse color website (rabicano etc) - Heidi Smith
>I think my extremely roan rabicano on red
chestnut, flaxen, much-chromed Arab colt has gotten even roanier than he
was at weaning. By Heidi Smith's "conservative bay in a business suit" as
she puts it, Abu Ben Surrabu, out of a light flaxen chestnut CMK mare. I
think it came through from the Bowling genetics on her sire, because the other
side of the pedigree has only boring plain chestnut with no roaning
:-)
And boy howdy, is Karen's colt ever roan!
Actually, my "conservative bay in s a business suit" had an even more
conservative bay sire, who in turn had a conservative bay sire--but granddaddy
for all of his conservative business suit, sired several horses with
roaning. (So Karen, your colt could well have gotten a double whammy, even
though I've not seen it crop out on that side of his family since some of his
great-granddaddy's kids...)
