Chica
Liver chestnut (DNA confirmed) PRE (Andalusian) mare who is believed to carry a
recessive ("pearl") dilution gene. She has birthed two foals that look
like double-dilutes at maturity (see below), by the double-cream-dilute
stallions, Q and Saphiro. She has been DNA color tested and is ee
(chestnut),
crcr (no cream.) She currently is owned by this lucky farm:
http://ssandalusians.com/ Spanish
Springs Andalusians.
When Chica foaled Majodero by Q , back in 2001, Barb Kostelnik (the
author of this web site) thought that meant that Q and the foal were Iberian
champagnes. But Carolyn Shepard, president of the ICHR, somehow knew
this wasn't the case. Majodero never even looked like a champagne
cream as he matured. Q's many, many other foals never any unexplained dilutions. Instead,
Chica's progeny followed the pattern we could expect if she were carrying
a
recessive dilution gene which was activated by cream. Only cream dilute sires
produced "pearl-creams" out of her, and only about 50% of the time.
Chica's 10 foals (please correct as needed, by emailing me, Barb, at
webmaster@newdilutions.com )
-
6 non dilute foals (blacks & bays) sired by black & bay stallions,
at least one of which (a mare, Querida) is a Pearl carrier
-
2 "pearl-cream" foals sired by Saphiro & Q
respectively
-
1 single dilute foal (palomino) sired by Q
-
1 chestnut foal sired by a chestnut stallion
