Wesley Bloxom Stallion

Hadn't planned to have a part 3 on the 2026's, but the newest unexpected addition to the herd is a bay tobaino colt Maryland transfer. He's been named the Welsey Bloxom Stallion, aka Old Dad. N2BHS-MY is his Keiper number which traces his maternal line. His sire is bay tobiano Billy Bob and his dam is bay tobiano Susi Sole. He was transferred due to his dam being hit and killed by a car. I obviously don't have any pictures of him myself yet so you can see a nice album of him here: https://horseidhelp.smugmug.com/.../202.../4-SUSI-SOLES-COLT

The Maryland herd is all related in some way because of being a closed herd since 1968, but Old Dad has some interesting ties to other transfers to his new home. He's a descendant of 1991 transfer Hot Air Balloon through his sire. His paternal great grandmother VIP was also the dam of 1994 transfer Firestar. A great grandsire Fonzi is the damsire of Moonbeam who was briefly part of the herd in 2021.

Old Dad is a bay like both of his parents and his two full brothers. Both of his parents carry chestnut recessively and his dam Susi Sole has a chestnut son. Whether or not he carries chestnut recessively or not is unknown. Similarly it's unknown if he has one or two copies of the bay causing agout, both are possible.

He's a tobiano pinto like both of his parents. It's possible he has one or two copies of tobiano. I also think it's possible Old Dad has splashed white or another pinto pattern. His ancestor Hot Air Balloon had splashed white, we know this thanks to his Chincoteague descendants. Old Dad, his sire Billy Bob, his sire Bodacious Bob, and his dam Rosie all have signs of having something other than tobiano.
