#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Kaleena - if you breed her to a bay, you will get a 50% chance of a bay foal and 50% chance of a buckskin/palomino/smoky black  foal#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#If bred to a cremello - you get a 50% chance of cremello and 50% chance of palomino#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#If bred to perlino - you get a 50% chance of cremello or perlino and 50% chance of buckskin or palomino or smoky black.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#So - no REAL easy way to get a buckskin out of her unfortunately! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Shoal - Devon is *THE* epitome of hunter line breeding shows held the last weekend in May in Devon, PA.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#To win at Devon REALLY means something big!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Its kind of like my horse winning a race and yours winning the Kentucky Derby! #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley20.gif"#ed_cl# That would be a pretty accurate analogy to use ...#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#So - I am REALLY excited just thinking about it!
