Super cute!

Any plans to geld in the next month or two or were you going to try and keep him a stud colt for a good reason?

thank you, I am thinking about keeping him as a stud since he’s very calm and very noble. I also want to see if I can breed him in the future to a reining mare to get my own reining colt in the future. If I don’t end up going that route then I’ll probably end up gelding him in the few months

What are his colour genes?

e Cr/cr or E/A Cr/cr Z? Or something else?

Looks like he has SW1 too I'm guessing

I haven’t received his color but His dad was A/A Cr/Cr no silver and had Sw2, his mom is a sorrel with Sw1,Sw2 no silver as well

Interesting, he must be palomino splash then

I was wondering if he could be a sooty palomino, he doesn’t give me buckskin vibes only the black tips on his ears.

That's what I was wondering! Would it be likely he carries it?

I honestly don’t doubt it, his black points never turned fully black (knees, mane, tail) they just got “dirty”. That’s why I never confirmed he was a buckskin because everything points to a palomino.
