>Does he have a cream gene???< I don't know. His sire was Baldur 147 (grandsires Jarpur 112/Randver fra Fitjamyri)..dam Vindottir fra Fitjamyri(Grand dam s- Dixie 111/Pia Van Asgeirsbrekka). He was started & trained by Christine Schwartz. I think this is why he is such an amazing horse. ...IMO, can't beat the TTEAM way of educating a horse.
I saw Vindottir at the Icelandic Horse Farm when I came for a clinic in 1997 & she is I guess a dark dun type buckskin. Selur is almost indentical in color to her. I think Baldur was a mealy mouth dark brown, but not sure as he passed on many years ago. All I know is that his temperment is what I call "the perfect boyfriend". He's affectionate, considerate, kind, has a great sense of humor & is very even disposition..always happy, never argues. I think I've seen him in a mildy bad mood once during the 10 years he's been with me. Selur's motto is"what can I do for you" as he's kissing my face or hands??? In fact I wish I could have him in human form for the perfect husband!! His gaits are smooth & he's a great, brave trail horse. I just love his color in both seasons. People around the neighborhood thought I had gotten another horse the first few seasons because he changes color so radically. In winter he looks like a silver tipped bayish roan. If I body clip him Fall into Winter, he looks like a dappled rose grey. Kaaren
