Foaled Unknown
Summer is a 8 year old red roan Sabino mare acquired in late 2022. Although her background is unknown, we were very fortunate to find her. She has one glass eye that is very unique in its coloring and enough white on her face and legs to verify her pinto breeding. Sabino is a white pattern that causes "chrome". Sabino ponies generally have tall stockings, sometimes reaching the belly and wide facial markings from blazes to bald faces. Sabino ponies often have roaning as well, giving the white patters a spray paint look. Standing at 12.2 hands, her registration with the Pinto Horse Association of America as a Class B pony in pending .
Summer also has one blue eye and one brown eye, which is called heterochromia. Basically, it's the lack of pigmentation in the eye which causes it to appear blue. Although the genetics behind the eyewall of the pony are unknown, there are several breeds of horses and ponies with registered stock blue eyes. Pintos and some Welsh have a gene that often results in blue eyes.
Our grandaughter began riding her this last year. We didn't know if she had been trained to ride, but after testing her our, we found she was trained and is a fast walker. We look for her to give the grandkids hours of fun times on horseback in the future.
