Wildest Dreams

Wildest Dreams was born in 2008 and her sire was the bay tobiano Miracle Man and her dam was the bay Natural Innocence. Have had a soft spot for her since she gave me a good look-over when she was a foal in the old south corral. She's a year older full sister to Miracle's Natural Beauty. They went on the lam together when they were young, earning the nicknames Thelma and Louise. The two swam the channel and were spotted headed towards town before being apprehended by the authorities. She also picked up the nickname American Girl before we knew the name her donor gave her. Unlike her sister who's had 4 buybacks, Wildest Dreams has only had one; the short lived black tobiano Mariner's Elegy. She's had limited foals because for quite a few years she was in the herd of Little Dolphin, aka Neptune, who went sterile. But thanks to her sister there's no lack of her bloodline in the herd.

Wildest Dreams is a bay like both of her parents. Since she's had a black foal that tells us that she has one copy of the bay causing agouti. She might have two copies of black, aka homozygous, since she hasn't had a chestnut. Looking at Natural Innocence's foals her dam may have been homozygous for black also.

She's a dark bay and can be considered a brown. Her sire Miracle Man was a similar dark shade of bay. Right now there isn't a known genetic difference to brown, but there very likely could be. But for now they test the same as bays.

Since only Wildest Dream's sire was tobiano she has one copy of tobiano. Three of her six foals have been solid and three have been tobiano.

She's one I've eyed for having something other than just tobiano. Contemplated it since she was a foal with that big blaze and the irregular look of her pinto pattern. Can't know for sure without testing but another daughter of Miracle Man tested to have Eden White 3. I think it's extremely likely she has it too.
