Effie's Papa Bear

Effie's Papa Bear, better known as Hoppy, was born in 2007. He was sired by the bay tobiano half Arabian Sockett to Me. His dam was the Assateague born full Mustang solid bay Mermaid. I think his breeding is really interesting and is definitely why he's pretty tall! He was quite leggy when he was a foal. The 2007 stallions turning 19 next year is making me feel things. Hoppy has had one son kept for the herd and 9 daughters.

Hoppy is a bay like both of his parents. It sure looks like he inherited agouti from both of them because he hasn't sired a black out of tons of foals. That also means he passes one copy of agouti on to all his foals, including the chestnuts.

Multiple foals of Hoppy are chestnut, including his son, so he carries chestnut recessively. Both of his parents also carried recessive chestnut so one of them passed it on to him.
