Molly's Rosebud

Molly's Rosebud is a 2010 mare who is sired by the Maryland born chestnut tobiano Spirit of Assateague. Her dam was the buckskin tobiano Merry Teapot's High Bid. Molly is the spitting image of her dam, down to the Arabian characteristics inherited from her damsire Gunner's Moon. Everyone noticed her resemblance to her dam when she was born! Three of Molly's foals have been kept for the herd, all by different sires: her first foal in 2013 Rosie's Teapot, 2021 mare Ms Shampine, and 2022 mare Miss Holy Smokes.

Molly is a buckskin so she's a bay with one copy of the cream dilution. She has black and one copy of agouti which restricts her black to her legs and mane/tail. She's had 3 black foals so that's why we know she has one copy of agouti. Because her sire is chestnut she carries chestnut recessively. Her one chestnut foal also tells us this.

The cream dilution lightens her body color to it's golden color. She inherited cream from her buckskin dam who inherited it from her sire. Roughly 50% of her foals will also be cream dilutes.

Molly is a tobiano pinto like both of her parents. She inherited one copy and we know this because she's had a solid foal.

She's a pretty minimal tobiano. Almost a cryptic tobiano like her dam was. Molly's only white is on her legs, a star, snip, a large spot on her rump, and stripe across both sides of her neck. Several of her foals have also been minimal. Something is suppressing their white to make her and the ponies in her family minimal, but research hasn't found it yet.
