Thanks!!! 😍 you and me both!!! It’ll take a while lol when he was 2 I was kinda worried lol so thin and lanky. Still narrow, but getting there! He grew vertically so quickly, nothing else had a chance to keep up haha

Yeah Copper took forever too. He was just 14.3 at 2 and matured around 16.2 and athletic looking. Haha I had big doubts though. 😉

Well ,he is such a cool looking horse. Cute and now handsome. Tell me about the stripes on his legs. They are still evident on his hocks. This is new to me.

Thank you! Yes, his primitive markings are pretty pronounced. Depending on the angle, his barring/striping (has some colloquial names as many things do) on his fore legs is also very pronounced. Cheetah has them as well. Every dun has a dorsal stripe. The leg barring is usually there on all duns, but faint. Rare is the shoulder bar/stripe. Lito has them, Cheetah does not. Other rarer expressions of the primitive markings are: barring on the backs of the ears, on the neck, and along the dorsal stripe; cob-webbing on the forehead (basically faint stripes) (Lito had these as a baby…sometimes I can still see them). Color genetics are so cool.

Interesting. I did not know about this. Is there any research to connect horses to zebras? Or is the dun color showing these stripes a throw back to a prehistoric horse?
