And now it’s Saffron’s zoomie time until she spots me with the camera then it’s over to the human scratcher 😂
So I wasn’t going to post this video, not because of my handsome Billy Boy but because when preparing to do a photo shoot I forgot about preparing myself 🤣🤣🤣 so excuse the scruffy urchin look ( this top has now gone in the rag bag 😂 )
Note to myself - dress up before the next photo shoot 😬
Billy may not have struck it lucky in displaying the solid Classic Blue Roan coat himself but as a future breeding sire he can certainly produce it. With his black base EE and classic Roan ( Rn/N ) the colour genetics are there. Although he himself has one copy of Tobiano ( Tt ) he cannot pass on Roan and Tobiano together.
Add in Silver ( Zz ) inherited from his dam and the colour possibilities are endless.
If that weren’t enough at present he is the only Colt available in NZ and Australia sired by USA stallion “ Gypsy Treasures Lil Vader “ ( solid Blue Roan sired by the great Pompeii )
With the recent loss of two great stallions in NZ and the need to diversify bloodlines this is an opportunity not to be missed. If we were at all able to run him on ourselves we certainly would be.
He is well handled, keen to learn and will be weaned and ready to go in the next couple of weeks.
Please excuse his grubby hairy look but it is Winter after all and like many we have been battling rain and mud. But you wait until Spring when all that fluff disappears and his true self will reveal itself ❤️
Taron - I should have named him “Basil Brush” with his tail 😂
