I first saw pigmy goats at the Brookfield Zoo in Ill. when I was a "kid". Sooo Cute.
The stud for Chip is a Few-Spot App. I had never heard of such a thing. He looked like a white horse. The mare is grey so the breeder said take a lot of pictures now cause he'll probably have the grey too and his color will disappear. When people saw the white around his eyes many said that he was a grey.
My daughter screamed when she saw him. We were dumbfounded. Even the breeder didn't get a colored foal that spring. I guess he couldn't breed to his own horse that year.
At about a year old it was raining one day and a friend came over and said there is a blue horse in your pasture. It was Chip. He's got black and white skin, his white hair is fine? like his mom and over the black on him when wet it does look blue. His spots are on the black patches and on the white places. He should be the loudest paint you ever saw, but he's not.
I'll get a picture after I rinse off the dust. That might take a while, because hoses are scarey don't you know.
I sold him when he was two, but he still is boarded here. Isn't that great! Fran and her husband Mike own him and a normal App mare named Bitsy. Fran helped deliver him. He was born on her birthday. I figured he'd be fourteen hands, Apps are Indian ponies right. Fran is short and that would be great. I asked the breeder when Chip was two, how tall is the sire. 17 hands!!!! Fran eventually gave him to her husband and bought Bitsy. Even she grew a little but not much.
