Dreamer pics!

[dab_20]

Here are some pictures of my beautiful girlie! We groomed her and she lets us actually touch her tail now! She's really afraid of the fly spray though. I took the pics before we groomed her so she doesn't look her best. Onto pics!

what a cutie! I've always wondered, what exactly does tricolor paint mean. There's a horse at my barn that is called one but she looks like she's a sabinoXtobianoXovero.

tri color is a paint that has 3 different colors. (In dreamers case she is dark brown, black and white) Thanks!

Love Dreamer she is so beautiful :)

that's what I thought at first but then wouldn't that essentially just be a bay paint because bay is black pointed by deffinition and the white comes from them being a paint? Anyway, she's gorgeous. :)

Aw, she's so beautiful! She looks like she's grown up a bit since the last pics. :)

I'm not sure about how you define paints and tobianos and stuff because we just use piebald and skewbald over here, but to me a tricolour horse is skewbald, with black featuring in the mane and tail.

Do you have any links where I could read about those terms? In the US, a tobiano (http://foxtrotters.tripod.com/gallantrenegade/main.jpg) (another pic) (http://www.bspaonline.com/paintabian.jpg) has his white coming from the spine down.Their manes and tails are usually two colors.
A Sabino (http://www.sabinohorseregistry.com/) usually has a white chin spot and has the white coming from the bottom up and their white is usually really jagged. A minimally expressed or incomplete (http://www.kcsponies.com/crystalp1.jpg) sabino is easy to spot, they have a chin spot and tall white leg markings. This happens in Arabians and Clydesdales a lot.
An Overo (http://www.ruwhisperingpaints.com/images/challenge_me.jpg) has a colored chin and has their white from the middle in.
Then we have Splashed Whites, which have walleyes and are usually deaf. They look like they swam in white paint. One thing you have to remember is to never breed to overos together, it is known as lethal white syndrome and the foal will die soon after birth. I got most of my info from this book, (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1570761620/104-3510572-6060754?v=glance&n=283155) but this is a great website (http://www.apha.com/).
edit: I just found this awsome site: http://www.bspaonline.com/types%20breeds.htm

She's beautiful! :) Did you name her after the horse in the movie..Dreamer? :)

sorry for yet ANOTHER post in your thread, but I just love her markings! What paint "type" is she? I'll guess Tobino (tobianoXsabino cross) because of her reguar head, blue eyes, and bi-color mane. Sabino because she has white legs. Am I right or do you not know her breeding?

I guessed she was tobiano but I'm sure you know better then me. I don't know her breeding, we got her at an auction. Also, I'm not good with horse colors, so maybe she is a bay paint. :confused:

Thanks for the replies and compliments everyone! She sure does look more grown up, plus she lost all her winter coat.

[Suki Wingy]

I looked it up, I'm pretty sure she's a tri-color paint, I was just questioning the term in general. That's so good of you to take her in and give her a good home :)

[dab_20]

Thanks. I always feel so bad for the horses there. They are all very afraid and usually come from homes that threw some grain or hay in w/ them and thats all the attention they got. :(
