SurfersRedHot&Blue, nicknamed Buddy, is a 2019 gelding born at Walnut Hill in Pennsylvania. Buddy has a lot of family on Assateague. His sire is WH Salt Marsh, a son of Archer's Gambit and Surfer Dude's Gidget. His sire also sired WH Surf and Sun, better known as Surfette, who lives on Assateague and is a full brother to SCC Surfer's Point Break, a young stallion on Assateague. Buddy's dam was WH Fire Ball, a daughter of Ken and Kimmee Sue, who is a full sister to Assateague mare Sue's Crown of Hope. Now that he's in Etalon's database he'll connect with all this family in ancestry family testing! Buddy lives at Kerkaken Acres and is an up and coming young riding pony. Here's a video of him strutting his stuff at Kerkaken's open house last July: https://youtu.be/oXVvbboC2oY His owner/trainer Kerra is riding him.
SurfersRedHot&Blue test results: A/a, e/e, nd2/nd2, SW1/n, W35/n, EDXW3/n Buddy is a chestnut like both of his parents, shown on his test as e/e. He has one not visible copy of agouti, shown as A/a. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/chestnut.html He doesn't have any primitive markings like a dorsal stripe. Buddy's test showed he doesn't have the mutation for it as nd2/nd2. It does run in his family but he didn't get it. Splashed White 1 is on both sides of Buddy's family so it wasn't a surprise when the test revealed he had it. Me and some friends had speculated he might have two copies of SW1, but he only has one. Instead Buddy has both White 35 and Eden White 3! Having these two plus SW1 is likely why he's so flashy and has two blue eyes. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/splash.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/white35.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/eden-white.html Buddy is quite a dark chestnut, something common in his sire's family. There's every indication it's from sooty which adds black hairs and darkens a pony's coat. It isn't testable but appears to be inherited as we can see in the Surfer Dude family. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/sooty.html There was some question as to Buddy's damsire back when his dam was born, Ken vs Courtney's Boy. His ancestry test answered the question when a Ken x Kimmee Sue daughter showed up as a 2nd degree relation. So that told us that mare is his dam's full sister.
