- I don't know how common they are, but several of the warmblood breeds
- have considerably more "color" in their gene pools than one might expect
- in "English style" breeds. On a visit to Flyinge, the "national"
- Swedish Warmblood stud, I was suprised to see that one of the mares
- was a pinto and another was a palomino! One of my Swedish foals, out of
- solid parents, has a white spot on his belly that is big enough that
- he could technically qualify as a pinto. Also, stockings that reach way
- above the knee/hock are not uncommon.
-
- Both Domino and another pinto, Art Deco, are full bred Dutch
- Warmbloods, NOT Warmblood/Pinto crosses. Domino and Art Deco are both
- by the same stallion, Samber. I don't know anything about Samber's
- coloring, but it sure makes you think he might be a pinto, doesn't it?
-
- Does anyone else know more about this?
