>>> Most of my horses are registered wrong. I am not sure if they are >>> registered brown if that includes bay or not.
I purposely registered Ima as brown, because brown doesn't have a hard and fast definition, at least not at the moment. It's a descriptor and it fits her appearance, and most four-year-old humans would agree. It doesn't sound exotic at all, but I feel better about calling her "brown" than "possible exotic color du jour" as often discussed on the color list. Those "possibles" just slay me. I might "possibly" be an alien from another planet too, but I think the odds of that are pretty slim! >>> When someone is really interested in genetics, then these records are >>> hopeless. Exactly. It's interesting and all, but I'd sure never bet the farm on the accuracy of ANY horse's registration papers - color or even parentage. Karen Thomas, NC
