okay, so he HAS had something done to his legs here is his yearling sale video. no polka dots on his legs
upon further searching for what the heck it is....i found its Pin Firing. used when the horse has bucked shins or bucked splints. Vet takes a hot pin iron and inserts it in the leg down to the bone to promote blood flow to help heal faster.
Thanks for posting the link about pin firing, rachel. I don't want to "quote" your entire entry because it contains a picture and is rather large. I'm referring to El Padrino from several posts ago further up this page. Anyway the article is very interesting. The horse himself is beautiful indeed. His color is wonderful. I can imagine 13Z looking similar as an adult, even with the big blaze and the 3 white socks.
Oxbow still puzzles me in color, hes looking more bay now lol. This is a really great stallion open house slideshow, wait til u get to Greydar (son of Unbridleds Song) at taylor made.
My admittedly geriatric brain remembers that one of the best known QH racers was actually about 7/8's TB when his pedigree was consulted....his name escapes me for the moment ...there is a lot of TB influence in the QH ...or so the reading I have done maintains ...what do you think....
