Tested Pony: Ember's Master Chief

Ember's Master Chief, Chief for short, is a 2022 gelding by Chief Golden Eagle and out of CLG Ember. Both of his parents still live on Assateague. His full brother is 2024 buyback colt CLG Ember's Golden Flame. Thanks to his owner, my friend Amanda O'Brian, for testing him! Follow him on O'Bryan's Chincoteagues of the Bluegrass.

Chief is obviously a bright chestnut which came up on his test as e/e. His sire is a palomino but he didn't inherit the cream dilution. Cream is one where you have it or you don't.

He has one copy of agouti which would restrict black to the points aka a bay, but he doesn't have any black. Without testing we wouldn't know if he had agouti. Agouti had to have come from his palomino sire. Blacks can't have agouti or they would be bay. Chief's bay older full brother tells us this too. His younger palomino full brother might have agouti too, we'll have to wait on his foals to find out! Their sire Chief Golden Eagle's parents were buckskin and bay so agouti came from one of them.

The primitive markings test showed nd1/nd2. That means he might have some or not, in Chief's case he doesn't.

Chief carries two copies of the gait gene, DMRT3. He's not gaited which is common when they only have two copies.

In Chief's ancestry testing it was interesting that most of his breeding is from the heavy horse breeds. Chincoteagues usually have Arabian for most of their breeding, which is Chief's #2. He's a tall stocky boy so it makes sense!
