We have a beautiful new colt out of our Wap Spotted mare. He's so adorable! Check him out. He was born April the 22nd. Mom and baby
are doing well. He was a little over at the knee but it is resolving itself. I guess his legs were a little long for the oven 
Here's his pedigree. No name selected yet. I'm going to delete this entry once we decide on a name.

I'll have to tell my Wap Spotteds that they are aunties and uncles! LOL
Um, Clippity...did you use an outside stallion? Or do I know who you are?

Hi Diane,
I used a Stallion called Ten E C Silver. He lives a few towns over from me and competes in Cowboy Mounted Shooting. He has a very calm demeanor and according to his owner would place first more often if his owner could see better. He's a nice stallion. |

Yeah, I've internet-know Bill and his horses for some years now...one of his mares is almost a dead ringer for one of mine, with a common Plaudit ancestor a ways back there. Silver's a heck of a nice boy.
It'll be interesting to watch your little one grow, since there's a fair bit of commanlity between the bloodlines of yours and my Wap filly, not just Wap Spotted.

Do you have a link where I can see pics of your baby and his pedigree? It is nice to meet someone online who actually likes my stallion choice..lol.. Lots of people want an Aphc show record or money earnings as proof of worth. Bill is a super guy too. We have been very happy with him and Silver. I am not certain we are going to keep our Wap Spotted mare and the foal. We are planning to downsize and probably won't even breed anything at all next year and have talked about offering them both for sale. We haven't made a definite decision yet. I wanted to wait a bit. I think he is going to be gorgeous though! He has such an unusual combination of "stuff" going on. I love his chocolate ears.. ;o)..
As to his base color, I am not certain since I am not in any way an authority on colors but I know his sire is sorrel/chestnut and his dam is registered blue roan but has foaled a homozygous black foal last year and the foal two years before looked black but wasn't tested. I don't know what that gives me a chance for in the color department. He has black, brown and grey looking spots with what looks like a dark bay colored mane and greyish tail. |

I love his ears too, thats what made me think he was bay, they look dark reddish with black tips. His face pic is adorable.

CC, sent you an email.
on the base colour, dam has to be black-based, Teddy's EEAa. I can't remember if Bill's ever stated a base colour for Silver (other than white, LOL), so that's not much help.
I know your mare is listed as black roan, but I do have to wonder, given Teddy's bay status, and black looks, and when Princess was born, hubby was sooo excited cuz she was jet black..and then developed caramel spots, and now has a black torso with 'chocolatey' legs (Lp likes to do funky things to the colour, black).
Given the leopard status, as well, I'd have him colour tested, to be on the safe side, at least as far as extension and agouti are concerned.

I'm not going to keep him a stud so I probably won't color test. Wap is registered as Blue Roan but she has had at least one homozygous black foal. He's my new gelding ;o).. I'll post pics of him elsewhere on the thread after work. I like your mare!! LOL..re Bill and white |

Yeah, I laugh over the fact that the one filly is a "reverse" bay...black body and brown legs!  Silly, contrary thing! ROFL!
For those wondering about my usage of "reverse" bay, Lp can 'funkify' black, giving black points a browny/chocolately/bronzy shade (or the entire horse). As this filly is by a stallion that looks black, but tested out to bay, out of mare that looks black, but tested out bay, it stands to reason that she's likely bay herself, despite her black appearance at birth, and her currently black-looking torso.
