Summer Breeze

Summer Breeze is a 2006 mare that was born after Pony Penning. She’s also known as Summer’s Gentle Sea Breeze and Cee Cee, for the C marking on her side. She was just kept for the herd and not sold as a buyback. Summer Breeze’s old ID number was B37 and her early foals were sold under that auction number. Summer Breeze’s parents are bay tobianos Miracle Man and Binky’s Breeze. She’s had one foal kept for the herd, bay tobiano Danny’s Girl Splash. Through her Summer Breeze has had two granddaughters kept.
Summer Breeze’s likely genetic makeup: E/E, A/A, TO/n

Summer Breeze is a dark bay which is a combination of black/extension and agouti. All of her 13 foals have been bay so it appears she has two copies of both. If she had recessive chestnut she would have had a chestnut foal, three of her foals were by chestnut stallion. Granted that’s not many foals so it’s a guess based on the information we have. Similarly, since she hasn’t produced a black foal, only bays, it seems she has two copies of agouti.

Both of her parents were tobiano but only one passed their tobiano on to her. Four of her foals have been solid and they couldn’t have been if she had two copies. She has cat track spots on side with the narrow stripe. These are more common on tobianos with two copies of tobiano, or homozygous.

Summer Breeze has some kind of white suppression going on. Suppression trying to stop tobiano putting white on her is what gives her that backwards C on her right side. If you study that marking it looks like there’s a piece cut out of her pinto white.

She’s a dark bay like her sire was. Color shade is something that’s still being studied. One study found that bays with one copy of black/extension are lighter in color than bays with two. Since Summer Breeze appears to have two copies that correlates. It’s also possible she has sooty that’s helping make her a dark bay.
