Two, one 13 yrold mare, and one 4 month old filly (hers).
Mare is one half Andalusian, one quarter Arabian, and the remaining quarter is not known. My guess from a picture of her mother, and her own stocky build is that my mare’s mother was half Arabian and half QH.
She’d then be a kind of sideways “Azteca.”
The filly is exactly the same breeding with different proportions. Her father was 3/4 Andalusian, and the remainder a mix of the unknown and Arabian in the remaining quarter.
We do ground work only, and the mare may not be ridable except as a quiet walk trot animal.
Now as for this filly as she grows … well she’s dynamite. Too good looking to be real. I’d say her only fault, for an Andalusian, would be a tiny bit of dip in the nose (Sans the Arabian side) and a faint tendency toward cow hocks behind. But then she only 4 months and that may change.
Huge hindquarters and heavily muscled but more similar to a Lippizaner in appearance than any other breed, except for her color.
Mother is flea bitten grey born Sabino Albino and that is exactly what the little filly is. Striking freckled edge markings of predominately sorrel, over a dark skin that shows along the white lines, and wonderful freckles. Three white stockings, one white sock, blue around the dock and on some parts of her legs (her sire is a blue roanish looking dark grey). Huge white face, but both eyes dark skinned under fading out sorrel hair. And little snips of blue around her muzzle, one very like a kiss shape on bottom and upper lip. And a dark beauty mark inside one nostril.
Now what to do with such a creature. And I won’t back her until she’s four, but we’ll do lots of ground work and get her used to equipment before that.
I’ll likely teach her to work at liberty, something I’ve done with horses as far back as the 50’s. 1950’s that is.
