Historical Pony: Dixieland Delight's 2000 Colt

Medicine hat marked ponies are popular and here's a pretty much perfect one from 2000. This blue eyed colt was the last foal of Dixieland Delight. You can see her behind him in the corral photo. Dixieland Delight's identification number was 26, as was his auction number.

Medicine hat markings come about from a pony having more than one pinto pattern. The areas that still have color, chest and flanks, indicate the colt has tobiano. The interesting part is Dixieland Delight appears to be part of the sabino roan family. She may have been the dam of A Touch of Dust, aka Peaches. So this colt was likely had sabino as well as tobiano, which resulted in him having medicine hat markings.
