Historical Pony: Imagine Mandy

The solid black Imagine Mandy is an unknown mare today despite her being a favorite color. She was born in 1991 and died around 2002. The first photo by Kathy O'Dette is from 1994. The second photo by Kelly Lidard is from near the end of her life in 2001. Imagine Mandy's identification number was #12. Both of her parents are unknown and she has no known descendants in the current herd. Interestingly Millennium Millie born in 2000 was almost her twin in color and markings (no known relation though).

Imagine Mandy was a black carrying recessive chestnut. One of her 3 known foals was chestnut. Both parents must have chestnut for a foal to be chestnut. Even though her dam is unknown a foal photo of Imagine Mandy has been found and she's following a chestnut mare that appears to be her dam. So she would have inherited red from her dam.
