Yellow Bird 9/91 TMH


HigueraSondarling 9/91 TMH


1976 stallion
(High Pass Duke x Honey Gold)
Honey Gold--(Dickie's Pride x Princess Sonfield) 1960 palomino, bred by Steve Reeves
Dickie's Pride--(Flying Jubilee x Dawn Mist) 1952 palomino, bred by LU Sheep Co
Dawn Mist--(Fillmore x Quita) 1949 palomino mare, bred by LU Sheep Co
Quita--(Highview King x Luxury) 1944 registered as Dun
Luxury--(Night Tide x Mallow)1939, registered as dun

Those duns were actually buckskins. Back the, the two color terms were used interchangeably.

Sir's Sunny 9/91 TMH


LAS Charm de Oro 9/91 TMH




Aquila's Top Command 9/91 TMH


1988 stallion
(Futurity Top Command x Foxy's Cotton Queen)
Cotton Queen--(Foxfire x Cotton Candy) 1969, registered as chestnut w/light mane & tail
Candy--(Townshend Gaymeade x Arvada) 1956, registered as chestnut w/light mane & tail
Arvada--(Fillmore x Luxury) 1951, registered as cream w/white mane & tail
Luxury--(Night Tide x Mallow) registered as Dun with black mane & tail

Here is a fine example of how researching color in the breed can get interesting.
We know that the colorful Night Tide daughters had the cream gene to give buckskins & palominos. Back when Luxury was foaled however, oftentimes dun & buckskin were used interchangeably. 
Arvada, registered as cream, would have been a palomino. 
The two registered as chestnuts would also have been palomino because the stallion in the ad was a palomino. 

Congodon 9/91 TMH


He also sired quite a few foals, some of whom bred on.
