Just some more minor line edits on this fella. A Silver Dappled Black gelding for the 16th! :3

Username: Dark.
Show Name: Smokin' Gun
Barn Name: Gunner
Age: Ten
Gender: Gelding
Breed: Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse
(also referred to as the Mountain Pleasure Horse)
Height: 14.3hh
Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horses are split into two height margins and are registered accordingly. Class A horses are 14.2hh or higher and Class B horses are between 11hh and 14.1hh. Gunner is Class A.
Personality: Eager to please / Loyal / Laid-back
Gunner is a very hard-working horse, who will turn his hoof to any discipline and give it his best shot. He is eager to please, with well-taught manners and an obediant nature. Gunner's favoured discipline is western pleasure, however he is ridden English aswell and regularly competes in Equitation classes. He is completely bombproof and is a solid horse. He is rarely grumpy or antsy with a laid-back approach on every aspect of life. The only exception to this rule is when it is feed time. Gunner is a greedy boy and will pick up his bucket and fling it high in the air in anticipation of his dinner!
Why this breed?:
Hmm...perhaps I should describe how I got here. He definately was an interesting one - trying to find a breed that had both a convex nose and silver dapple in it's breeding! (I even had to crack open some of my old horse breed books!). At first I looked at the Iberian breeds (specifically Barb and Lusitano). Most of the Iberian breeds have the 'roman nose' however they rarely - if at all - carry silver, let alone come in silver dapple. So I moved onto draft breeds, like the Groningen, however the 'draft horse' feel didn't really suit him. So I moved across the water in search of a gaited horse breed. My first choice was a Rocky Mountain Horse, because of the abundance of silver dapple; however Rocky Mountain's are typically bred with a flat face or one with only a small convex. Then I came across the Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse. The KMSH is a gaited breed, descended from a mixture of bloodlines - though most strongly influenced by the Rocky Mountain Horse and the Tennessee Walking Horse. One of the most common colours is silver dapple. They typically have a flat forehead with a small convex nose. White facial markings and small white leg markings are permitted in the breed. I think this breed fits Gunner perfectly! I can just picture him under saddle, ambling out on the trail!
Extras: Will possibly fill in later.
Other: He is so stunning! His dapples are to die for ^^'

Breeding Ref. for Artists: Silver Dapple Black. Homozygous for E/E and heterozygous for Z/z.

The following error(s) have been found on your form:

> I'm not 100% sure that Clydesdales can have the Silver gene- I've seen Drum horses with it, but they normally have Gypsy cob blood in them- so you can either change the breed to Diluted Clydesdale or alter it completely (there is a whole Wikipedia page on the Silver gene in horses, which tells you some of the breeds where Silver is allowed)
> This horse isn't a Dark Palomino, but is a Silver Dapple Black (as in description above)- it is, however, Ok to call him a 'Chocolate' Palomino instead

Please edit by judging date (21st December) to give yourself the best chance for victory. Thank you very much! ^u^

Hi, I am Dog-Trainer. I am here because I love this gelding - his gorgeous edits struck me first and then his colour <3

Show Name:

His show name is ' I'll Show You The Way' because he is quite the horse to be in front, not following on behind.

Barn Name:

Well, it was hard but I think: Cracker. I mean, his tail, roman nose and his colouring are quite a cracker and cracker is a chritmassy word c:.

Age:

He is twelve years old, I think he is the oldest of my cottonwood horses.

Gender:

He is a gelding, which is a little disappointing but I still love him just as much, anyway!

Breed:

[

quote]He is a Swedish Warmblood.[/quote]

Height:

He stands tall and proud at 17 hh, about the top of the height range for his breed.

Personality:

Well, I don't really think he is immature. He likes to be the leader and in the paddock he definitely is! He needs a soft but firm touch to keep him in check and isn't the most easy going of all horses. He is a great companion and friend though, and has a wonderful jump. Trail rides are fabulous on this trustworthy warmblood's back as he barely spooks and is very large.

Why this breed?:

As you may know, I have a soft spot for warmbloods and when Swedish Warmblood popped up on the page on the silver gene, I did some more research and decided that yes, this is the right breed.

Extras:

A poem by me, copyright to me ~

His mane flows back, his tail billowing,
Leading the herd, so proud,
Arched neck and roman nose,
Handsomest horse around,
Born to win,
Not to ever back down,
For he remembers,
Winners never quit,
Quitters never win.

Other:

Wooooow this is so FABULOUS! A real big pat on the back to you. That roman nose is to die for and those dapples...
