Link to a video of a gorgeous sabino and rabicano black Arabian filly with a stunning floating movement. She is gorgeous.

I'd love to get a look at Awesome Banner's back to see if he has a dark stripe down his spine.

[Second of June]

here's another one of Barbara's shots of Awesome Banner from the Swale. the other picture may be partially due to the lighting...he's still pretty light, but he doesn't look quite as golden here.

[sweettalk]

he looks like he forgot how to horse

[BaroqueAgain1]

Dang...that poor pony horse really had his hooves full with that aggressive colt. He needed one of those leather shoulder guards...or maybe a full panoply of armor?

This is about as golden bay as you could possibly be without being called buckskin...

AWESOME BANNER and Jose Caraballo win the Swale impressively at @GulfstreamPark for trainer Stanley Gold.

Looks like a wild bay which is prevalent in arabs, but it might just be the picture there, I think.

[Rainyday]

Wild bay usually comes with very low points, though. His are pretty high.

[BlindLucky]

Yeah, likely just the lighting on that photo:

Here's a link with pictures of the recent white foal at Rockridge but it also has a neat collection of unusually coloured TBs further down on the page

I love mama and all the chrome on her, and course I love her baby being he's a grandson of Tapit. I know white Thorobreds have had limited success on the track but maybe he'll be different being as Tapit is in his bloodline on the sires side

Was going through some older pictures and forgot I had a bunch of Class Included. I have great sympathy for going grey at such an early age

But seriously, her mane and tail were the exception--I don't remember seeing grey hairs in her coat. Have to dig through photos to see if I have some close-ups.

[Izvestia]

Class Included is such a pretty girl. Her mom, A Classic Life, was a chestnut with lots of bling - and I think she had a bit of roaning in her coat. I have old pictures somewhere of A Classic Life, but they are packed away.

[Treve]

That almost looks like Gulastra Plume but usually I thought that only affected the tail. So interesting!

I had posted the 2nd image but after BarquoeAgain said something, I went and looked and found the comparison.

Pretty sure PhotoShop has more to do with those markings than Nature does.

You're right. I didn't notice the lines on the original picture because it was alot smaller. LOL

Some sad news about White Pharaoh... not a racehorse but a registered White Thoroughbred by Sato from Blazing Colour Farms who was bought by Disney to play Silver in the Lone Ranger along with an other horse.

Somehow he ended up neglected and the girl who volunteered to take him in ended up in a road accident, a culmination of bad luck for this poor guy
If any of you have 5$ to spare...

Here he was as a baby

Disney doesn't have enough money to take care of a horse that THEY bought!? The poor horse has to have a GoFund set up for him?

They may not even know. I actually just sent an email to their Donations, Sponsorship, and Outreach division with a link to the Gofundme, can't hurt to make them aware.

[BaroqueAgain1]

Perhaps contacting the media (TMZ?) about this, with photos of the neglected horse...that "starred" in one of its movies...would put pressure on a company that relies on presenting "the Happiest Place On Earth" as its corporate identity?
