Pink Leopard Craziness

So, could you see Tiki sporting this stuff???

Pink Leopard Polo Wraps

Pink Leopard Dressage Saddlepad

Pink Leopard Western Tack

Pink Leopard Halter
(and no, I will NOT wear the pink leopard gloves to match--my sense of humor only goes so far....)

Pink Padded Dressage Bridle

Pink Crystal Browband

WOW if we're going Western, this is pink leopard AND rhinestones!

Pink Leopard Brush Boots!

Pink Leopard Bell Boots!

(ok, enough's enough.....though I take a certain guilty pleasure in the last two....LOL!)

Tiki in Pink!

Yes, for all of those who thought I had lost my mind, you are correct. Tiki is all dressed up in PINK! Blame it on Kim and I painting her hooves hot pink at 2 days old, or on my crazy sense of humor. Blame it on the fact she seems to be a DIVA (lucky me.....) and doesn't like to get her little twinkle toes dirty. I'm at the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" stage of my life. So, if Tiki likes pink so much, I might as well celebrate her pinkness in style.

So, here she is in all her pink glory! I figure the more garish, the better......I'm checking out HOT PINK LEOPARD polo wraps, saddlepads, etc etc

3 days, 3 months, 3 years

So here it is......Tiki's 2nd time over the jumps out back. Her form is actually quite good! What's wild is how TALL she's gotten.

Her 3 month old birthday is tomorrow......you know what they say---the horse looks like what they're going to look like as an adult at 3 days, 3 months, and 3 years. So, if this is the conformation, not so bad :-)

And the results are in.......

CHESTNUT! No gray. Here are the results:

Red-Factor Result:
e/e - Only the red factor detected. Basic color is sorrel or chestnut in the absence of other modifying genes.

Agouti Result:
a/a - Only recessive allele detected. Black pigment distributed uniformly. Basic color is black in the absence of other modifying genes.

Gray Result:
N/N - No copies of the gray gene. Horse will not turn gray.

So, no worries of being "genetically" chestnut but then graying. Yea!

Poor Tiki is looking like a patchwork quilt though. Now that she's shedding out her foal coat she's growing in some very strange stuff. Looks like some sort of ugly reddish liver chocolate color, Depending on the lighting, she either looks almost black, VERY dark red, or chocolate.
