...and I know you've all been breeding them like crazy, because the stud notifications have not stopped all day..

Show me the best pattern you've gotten so far!

Personally, I'm digging the big spots and long blanket on this one:
Gale Force «α»

But his daughter also has a big full hip snowcap-type blanket thing going on:
Winter Storm «α»

You and me both.

I'm going to fix my sleep schedule, I said. I'm going to have a productive weekend, I said. Nope.

I have music. I have Cheez-its. My roommate said "see you in the morning when I'm waking up and you haven't gone to bed yet." I'm all set.

I love these big spots:

So has anyone figured out what breeds have patn1 or the bigger spots? I'm guessing some Forest Horses might have a bigger spots gene/allele, I don't think I've seen anything with what could be patn1 yet? A couple of breeds have higher density spot genes too. Such a complex thing, and quite fun to figure out LOL!

I have a Forest stallion from the adoption center that I think has the gene for bigger spots. A few of my foals sired by him have bigger spots and their dams haven't thrown that big of spots with other stallions.

I love her silver dapple base color (bare with me on the appy patterns i'm still learning them!

) She's also a Mixed Dutch Warmblood (working to eventually produce full dutch warmbloods with appy patterrns)

Has anyone gotten lucky with producing lots of spots or any largeee blanket patterns? I'd love to see them! And if they are stallions put those boys up for stud! haha
These new colors are so fasinatating!
