| Carolyn, I just sent some hair off at the same time as the hair for his CA test. Only 25 US$ to test for each colour (I did two) which I thought was pretty good value. I find it all fascinating!! |

| Susan, I am not sure whereabouts Azteq is, although I am sure Carolyn (Treasure) will know as she had a fantastic filly by him last year. Thank you for your kind comment about Phantom and his colour. I think he is one of those horses that you either love or hate, but can't ignore, with that mane! |

Thanks Linda. We hope to get him out to the South East Spring Show as his first event this year. Where we have clipped his bridlepath you can see that he has a strip of white hair on each side of his neck with black running up the middle! Strangely, he now has chestnut hair growing right over the top of his mane and tail! I can't wait to see if he changes as he matures!
You can see the striping in his mane in the photo. Poor quality I'm afraid as I took it with my phone.

Azteq has been standing at Phoenix Stud near Newbury for the past few months while his owners moved house. Prior to that his home was near Swindon. His offspring are certainly distictive both for their looks  and their fantastic temperaments. he throws interesting colour ways too  . I think Phantom is very exotic with those stripes! |

| And he is particularly lovely in that photo - the stripes are very interesting - would love to see how they develop over the next few years |

Sorry Lindsay, I am not very clued up on colours! Apart from freaky Phantom, we have a bay gelding who had grey parents, a grey mare whose parents were also grey, a bay mare out of a dark bay mare by a chestnut stallion and an older grey mare whose dam we believe was dark brown/black and father grey! Phantom's parents were both grey! What colour are you hoping for? I pretty much like all colours, but I think I like grey best. Maybe someone else who reads this will be able to give you a clue!
Thanks for all your kind comments everyone, they are greatly appreciated.
