wow. tivar's coloring reminds me so much of stjarni's! the pattern of stjarni's whitening is different though -- more in a small shaped blotch than a line. and his saddle pad is just sheepskin on the bottom, though on reflection and discussion it may still be too hot underneath during the hot weather after his winter coat's coming in. i've recently sometimes dismounted to find him quite cool under the chest, then taken off his saddle to find him still hot underneath.... --vicka
