Born 12th August 2007

Dam: MILL MITICA     Sire: MILL GRAVITAR

 

           

Fuego at  2.5 months old. He has lost all his foal coat, but he doesn't seem to sure whether he is a bay basecoat or a chestnut ! We actually know that he cannot be chestnut because his sire Gravitar doesn't have a chestnut gene (e) and both parents must give a chestnut gene to their foal in oredr to create the colour. In the righthand pic he is with his 'auntie' Roxana.

 

            

Almost 2 months old, 7th October, and even brighter in colour if that is possible

 

                        

 Fuego is just over 4 weeks old in these three photos. He has a very unusual red mask down the front of his head with a light golden lower face.

His neck is also two coloured, with the upper part red near the crest, and the lower part golden- orange His dark red dorsal stripe is also quite marked

What a contrast he makes to his mum  in coat colouration !
