Sweetheart

Sweetheart is a 2011 mare by the half Arabian Wild Bill and out of Scottiee's ET. Her spicy damsire Attitude was also a half Arabian. I think she looks more like her sire in general than her dam. Her name is actually a nickname. Several of us have tried to track down her buyback donor (I met her before the auction!) to find out what name she chose. No luck so Sweetheart she remains. Only one of her foals, her second, has been kept as a buyback but he's a stallion. Her buyback son is CLG Tomorrow's Tidewater Twist.

Sweetheart is a bay like her dam. She has a recessive copy of chestnut from her chestnut sire. She only has one copy of the bay causing agouti, because she's had a couple of black foals.

She's a tobiano pinto like her dam. Despite most of her foals being tobiano she only has one copy. Sweetheart's sire was solid and her first foal was also solid.

It looks like Sweetheart has some type of white suppression and her pinto is somewhat minimal. It looks like pieces of her pinto markings are missing and that's where the suppression stopped white from going there. Several of her foals have shown signs of having white suppression as well.


You can see she's giving me the eye in both these pictures and it looks that way because she has visible white around her eyes, also known as white sclera. The shape of the eye is why sometimes you can see the whites of their eyes.

You can see full pages of pictures of her and of almost all of her known pedigree in my new books The Chincoteague Ponies of Assateague. Sweetheart and her son are on the cover of the mare book thanks to a photo by Dana Dutton Dunne. Find out how to purchase at mistyslegacy.com
