Only 3 more days to wait! #1 Magnificent equestrians

Anonymous said...: Are these Purchrons[?] Were there three breeds of horses used for bareback? I will alway remember Chewlo from the Loyal act. I can hear Luchana giving commands in the ring. Such a big horse and such a little girl. Were most of the horses white? Was a reason for this? Flashier or just the breed?; 02 January, 2006 11:24

This gave Lucio the incredible height
on this full twist as well as the somersalt from one horse to a third.
His groom was named Fuccini and I remember on the Winter dates the horses traveled by baggage car and one load out "Baby" managed to fall between the car and the loading dock and was wedged in. Fuccini was sobbing "My Baby", "My Baby", but they got him unstuck and he was OK.; 02 January, 2006 15:01

It just so happened JCs dad owned a building where they made unicycles. He saved the day. The mother in the act told me this story. She never forgot his kindness. Wish I cvould remember their name. The daughter married their groom.; 02 January, 2006 15:12

Anonymous said...: Rebecca, they look like perchrons. Appaloosas are built lighter.; 03 January, 2006 16:17
Anonymous said...: I thought they were Perchrons. The Tom and Jerry team were ridden by Gene Garner Rome Style. They were full brothers. Strawberry roan colored with Appaloolus spotted rear ends. He broke them for DR. I don't know what or where they went. There was something very special about them. As I was not into horses then I did not pay that much attention. I do know they were big.; 03 January, 2006 16:55

GaryHill said...: Roans are usually red roan or blue roan. It's a combination of white hairs mixed with whatever color the horse is. App's can crossbred with any other and you get spots plus the roan hairs. App's alone do not roan out themselves. The roans do carry a recessive gene as do palamino's and paints. Hope this helps? Gary P.S. I think Roman Noses are UGLY! Just me.; 03 January, 2006 17:20
Anonymous said...: Gary, No part of any animal is ever ugly. Most of my favorite animals are different and the smartest of the bunch. Even TINA the Kelly Miller elephant. She would never win any beauty contest.; 04 January, 2006 10:24
Anonymous said...: Roman noses are undesireable with any breeder. But it does not hinder with performance.

Yes Roan is recessive, but with paints you usually get 50% chance of color except with a homozyous tobaino meaning you will get 100% color with one.

You can get palomino color always with a cremello horse. I had a mare that produced a palomino and buckskin (with a bay) so she has the cream gene.; 04 January, 2006 15:33
