Not about colored thoroughbreds per se; but interesting read!! https://www.facebook.com/share/Pbo3XPLaEscehxiX/?mibextid=WC7FNe

“Horses have the ability to think and plan ahead and are far more intelligent than scientists previously thought, according to a Nottingham Trent University study that analysed the animal’s responses to a reward-based game.

“The horses cannily adapted their approach to the game to get the most treats – while making the least effort.

“Previously, research has suggested that horses simply respond to stimuli in the moment, they don’t proactively look ahead, think ahead and plan their actions – whereas our study shows that they do have an awareness of the consequences and outcomes of their actions,” said the lead researcher, Louise Evans.”

The actual research paper…

“Whoa, No-Go: Evidence consistent with model-based strategy use in horses during an inhibitory task”

Smokyoveroportrait, June 9, 2011-July 2, 2024. It is with the greatest of sadness that I had to make the very difficult decision that every breeder dreads. Today I had to make the decision to humanely euthanize my sweet girl, Smoky. Today, the world has lost one of its greatest colored Thoroughbred mares. Smokyoveroportrait was the best mare on so many levels from the incredible one of a kind foals she gave us, to the kindness she showed all foals and people who visited her and her special babies. Smoky was not only a special mare for her rare Smoky black frame overo genetics, but a special mare for our family. She came into our family and lit it up with her silly girl attitudes and quickly became the Grande Dam of Colordale Farm. She was there through some of our most difficult family times; helping to raise my kids and teach them about horses, and she was my shoulder to cry on as well as a support with her big fluffy bubble-nose and always made us laugh with her ditzy blond brain…. Not the smartest we joked, but she was definitely the sweetest mare on the planet and one heck of a good mama. She will be forever missed. Smokyoveroportrait was bred by Carolyn Reed, and owned and loved by us for most of her life. She leaves behind her Melodic Marque, owned by Marion of Va, Runa, owned by Emily case (pictured in the drawing which I cherish), Baily’s Beads, owned by Talia, and Lily, owned by me. RIP sweet SmokyJoe❤️💔🌈…my heart is so broken.
