In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. (NIV)

    How can #4 be a bay? Bays must have black points, as in legs, main and tail.

    Okay, a question:

    What is a curb bit, and how does it work?

    What is a shanked snaffle, and how is it different than a curb?

    No, that is not true in all cases. "The Z gene also works on bay horses. It dilutes the black mane and tail to white and the black legs to flat brown with dapples, but it leaves the red body color alone, because it only affects black. These horses are A-E-Z-."

    So how do they determine that it is a silver dapple bay, not a chestnut? Where did you learn this? It is interesting.

    Yes Equine! Robert Vavra is the best horse photographer!

    Vavra...to legions of horse lovers, the name conjures visions of flowing manes bathed in the glow of a setting sun, of flaring nostrils and fiery eyes, of horses frolicking, leaping, galloping or just standing there. Dignified, in a lovely field of flowers. Robert Vavra and his camera have spent the better part of three decades circling the globe, bringing to life the archetypal horse, the creature of myths and legend.

    And I would agree with you Equine that this horse looks like a chestnut with a Flaxen mane and tail. I have seen some beautiful Morgans with that coloring.

    Equine, have you ever seen the Lipizzans perform? I posted some links on them earlier in this thread. You should check them out.
    Now to ponder the new questions.

    But I did notice after YLL mentioned the dulling of the black legs that this horses legs are more brown. Most Chestnuts legs are the same color or lighter than the body. If you look REALLY hard, you can tell.

    Equine, have you ever seen the Lipizzans perform? I posted some links on them earlier in this thread. You should check them out.

    Actually, I was offered to ride with them on tour a few years back, but I was married and had a young daughter and couldn't be away for the tour. I was so bummed, but as much as I love horses, my baby girl comes first!

    They are such magestic animals, very noble and kind, but so powerful. A thrill to ride!
