Historical Pony: Living Legend

Living Legend was born in 1997 and died in 2013. She was by the bay tobiano Hurricane and out of the dark buckskin Noble Sea Bird. Her old identification number was A70. Living Legend had two offspring kept as buybacks the palomino tobiano Whisper of Living Legend in 2000 and her last foal the buckskin Alice's Sandcastle in 2012. Her 2004 palomino tobiano son Hurricane Charley's Legacy was a stallion for years and has over a dozen offspring, including Angel's Stormy Drizzle who lives at Beebe Ranch. I remember her well and it's a bit odd to think she's now considered historical, but of course she is.

Living Legend was black and she carried recessive chestnut. She had six palomino foals and that tells us she definitely had chestnut!

She was a bit of an odd looking black sometimes because she also carried cream, called a smoky black. If you look at my pictures she looks a bit of a pewter look to her black coat. Cream only affects red pigments so it doesn't have much to do on smoky blacks. None of her foals were sired by cream dilute stallions yet the majority of her foals, including her two buybacks, were cream dilutes. No denying she was a smoky black with that many dilute foals!

Living Legend was a tobiano pinto and only had one copy which was inherited from her sire Hurricane. She has some tobiano roaning on her left side and a couple cat tracks on her right.

While picking out pictures for this post I noticed she also had a bit of puzzle coat. It's the velvet looking spot on her neck in the picture of her left side. It's thought to be related to metabolic issues.
