Description Presenting the entry I didn't think I'd get to finish! My tablet cord literally snapped apart yesterday, and I was dreading having to go find a new mini-USB that'd do the job, when I found one lying around the house today. What luck! 8'D

I also sort of changed up my coloring style; did a little PhotoShopping magic on this one to make the contrast a bit more... noticeable.

The Silver Bullet
Breed: Georgian Grande
Gender: Mare
Age: 6

Handler: Anna Richardson
Representing: Tamarack Park

Host: ~PaintedPintaloosa
Show: Annual Color Breed Congress
Class(es): Appaloosa Hunter In-Hand, Dun Hunter In-Hand, Most Colorful Appaloosa, Dun Color Class

Dunno if this counts as the same type of class, but if it'll get her extra points -- Bullet's been in one halter class before, here .

I know, right? It's like they were channeling me when they made this breed! I love drafts to bits, but sometimes I wish they would be just a tad lighter and just a tad more airy, and I love ASBs but lord knows the current breed fashions are not good for their conformation, and then... someone mixed the two together and solved all the problems in one go. Magic!

I'm thinking of a jet black, lightly frosted roan with Percheron and Friesian as the draft blood. So if the horse was ASB/Perc/Fries (50/25/25) Would that be a Georgian Grande?

strixx-variaa In reply to saregona [2012-01-26 03:45:23 +0000 UTC]

It sure would! I love that Percherons have roan, too. I don't think there are any on HARPG, but I bet it'd be wicked popular. I don't think many people know about them having that gene.

Hmm, I think I'll get plotting. I think I'll make him a stallion. Just have to study the ASB's conformation, then I'll have a crack at drawing a Grande!

Thank you! Are you planning to do anything with Maybre in the near future? She's really lovely; I'd love to see her showing!

How sweet of you!
I am actually drawing all of my refs at once, so I do not have to have the burden of them when i get more active in harpg. I am currently have an Anglo down, working on a ASB mare, still need to do a wb and a Grande (really excited for him, he's gonna be a cremello!).. then I am allowing myself to be free to enter comps
How I despise drawing refs... but trust me, I cannot wait to start entering shows!

.. and I suppose being a slow drawing and having the attention span of a squirrel most definitely does not help matters much.. lol

I am rather excited for them all as well, sooo much planning has been going on.. and not enough progress on the whole drawing portion of them lol

I have a Grande Q for ya, I know they are ASB x draft/friesian, but if you breed a Grande to a WB or possibly even tb, would the foal turn out to be a grande? Or is the breed truly about having that stocky aspect that the draft breed gives them..?

strixx-variaa In reply to JuliasNadaPoodle [2012-01-24 06:29:46 +0000 UTC]

The only light horse allowed to be in a GG's pedigree is ASB; everything else has to be pedigreed draft or Friesian. They outline it in the breed standard if you want to take a look! [link]

They do have a lot of tabs. I think I've sufficiently stalked each one.

Of course I do! You're talking about Epona, right? I think in real life she'd be called a "silver dapple bay," kinda like this guy ([link] ). Also, thanks for watching me!
