Historical Pony: Fantasia

The pretty palomino tobiano Fantasia caused many a Pony Penning attendee to think of Misty. She was sometimes referred to as "the Misty one". Fantasia was born in 1988. You can see her run by (behind her dam) at the 1988 swim starting 22:28 in this show: https://youtu.be/UleAmC_r3SU Her dam was the palomino tobiano Dr. Shelly's Little Lady, better known as Skippy. Her sire was the half Arabian bay tobiano Gordo. Fantasia's dam was short and stocky, and she was not, so figuring out her sire was likely the tall leggy Gordo definitely explained why. Her identification number was A28 and you can kind of see it branded on her shoulder in my first photo. She didn't have any foals kept for the herd that we know of. Fantasia died in 2005, her last foal born the year before.

Fantasia was a palomino so she was a chestnut with one copy of the cream dilution. She received a copy of chestnut from each parent. Her dam Skippy provided the cream.

She might have carried agouti unseen since her sire was a bay.

Both of her parents were tobiano pinto, but she only inherited one copy. We know this because Fantasia had a solid colored foal. Ponies with two copies can only have tobiano pinto foals.

Fantasia had something suppressing the amount of white tobiano was trying to put on her. That's why she a good bit of white, but not a ton. Some of tobiano's favorite places to put white are the legs, withers, and shoulders. And that's what it did with her but not much else. It's untestable right now but it seems to be genetic based on observation.
