[haflingerfriends] genetics

Hi Dawn and Everyone,
Boy, that took me back to the study of color my daughter did for 4 H Many years ago. It was familiar territory for part of the way. I did not know about epistatic or quantative genes/allels.That was very interesting. I look forward to more of your genetic knowledge.
Let me make clear, I am not at this point or the near future breeding anyone...it was a hypothetical to begin a discussion. If I ever do I was hoping to learn from breeders, what process I should go through and to understand when I see horses in the Haflinger Mag. that have won at the different area and national shows, how they were bred.
I would love to have a silver mare but sadly I have not put a mare through the I+C. One mare is Larisa May MLH and the other is Meg HCF. I write Larissa with 2 s's cause it looks more balanced to me. Some people have urged me to put Meg though the evaluation but I am not in the physical shape to get her ready.
When Woden was a baby he went through an informal evaluation and was predicted silver by his score but then he was gelded and that became moot. Victoria
