Southbend, two chestnuts can, and do, produce all white. Point in fact is Indy La Riva. She is JC registered white. Her sire is Count Me In and her dam is Painted La Riva, both of which are chestnuts. Airdrie Apache's genetics for color have not yet been isolated. There are numerous variations of the dominant white gene that have been found, but this particular gene has remained elusive.

Southbendfarm said, "His (Airdrie Apache's)daughters carry the white gene and can through (throw) white foals. If they are chestnut daughters, and are bred to a chestnut stallion, even it that stallion carries the white gene, they will still throw a chestnut foal. One parent has to be a dominate color in order to throw a white foal." Not necessarily. It depends on what genes caused the white. A white foal can result from extreme sabino, in which case the base colour (chestnut, bay, etc.) is immaterial. It all depends on whether the white colour is due to dominant white or extreme sabino pinto. Both kinds of white are present in Thoroughbreds. Genetic testing is the only way to know what causes the white coat colour in an individual horse.

I saw my first white TB at Beulah Park this year. Her name is White Artic Lily & she is a daughter of The White Fox. So far, not much of a race horse, but absolutely stunning.

Hi!

Arctic Bright View is so cute and so happy that another career was found for him.

God love him, the owners, and his trainers.

Thank you!

A Chestnut and a Bay can have a white foal if bred together. However, Chestnut is a recessive coat color. When two Chestnuts are bred together, they can only have a Chestnut foal. Two recessive colors cannot through a Dominate coat color. If the sire of the dam is known for throwing white foals when bred to bay or brown or dark bay mares, those are dominate colors. Recessive + Recessive ='s Recessive. Airdrie APache is a Chestnut stallion with alot of white on him, but he is still a chestnut. His daughters carry the white gene and can through white foals. IF they are chestnut daughters, and are bred to a chestnut stallion, even it that stallion carries the white gene, they will still throw a chestnut foal. One parent has to be a dominate color in order to throw a white foal.

Racingfan, he is a full blooded thoroughbred (with some pretty famous relatives in his pedigree). Jockey Club registration is based on pedigree (and these days DNA typing). Amer. Paint Horse Assn. registration is based on color. I don't know the rules for AQHA registration, but a lot of racing quarter horses have a registered thoroughbred parent.

I had a white thoroughbred filly born this spring. Her dam was a chestnut and her sire was a dark bay. Anything can happen. I just hope she dispels the myth that white horses can't run come 2015.

I had a white thoroughbred filly born this season. Her dam Red Maple is chestnut and her sire Wise River is a dark bay. I was at a loss for words when I saw a white foal emerge. She has a few chestnut spots on her rump but lost the majority of her medecine hat. It has been said white thoroughbreds don't run because they are bred for color not pedigree.. I hope we dispel that myth with her in 2015.

A clarification regarding Cloud Ten. He was purchased while still a stallion, and his owner has stored semen saved from him for future use, but she said he was gelded before leaving her farm to become a movie horse.

He is beautiful! But I am wondering how he could be registered as a Paint and a Thoroughbred since only PURE Thoroughbreds are permitted to be registered with the Jockey Club..?

I've got an Airdrie Apache grandson who is dual-registered APHA and Jockey Club. These horses are Sabino. There are few white horses registered with the Jockey Club - to be a white, the horse cannot have another color present. Therefore, these whites are maximum expressed Sabinos.

If only mostly white, then the horse is registered as his minor color, such as chestnut or bay (like mine).

So two chestnuts CAN have an all-white horse - the horse is a chestnut maximum-expressed Sabino so is registered white.

What a great way to remind us baby boomers the Saturday mornings we sat and hailed "Hi Oh Silver and Away!" Artic Bright View was born to be Silver he is so beautiful

Airdrie Apache is chestnut and white to look at, but he could be dominant white or sabino or a combination of both. I don't know if he has been tested. The stallion Sato is a Palomino and white pinto in appearance, but he has been genetically tested as dominant white despite his looks.

Southbendfarm - this article explains that the white gene is a mutation. Therefore it could theoretically occur with any color parents.

I looked up Arctic Bright View's pedigree and spotted something amiss. His dam, Arcticanna, is shown as a 2001 white filly by Airdrie Apache(ch) out of Tropicana Anna(ch). The (ch) stands for Chestnut. That has to be a typo as 2 Chestnuts cannot have anything but a Chestnut. Even though Airdrie Apache's dam is a white mare, he is Chestnut. If he is bred to another Chestnut, the mare can only have a Chestnut. I submitted a correction to Equineline, but as of this writing, no changes. This colt has a nice pedigree and it won't surprise me if he sires some nice racehorses.

It is true, Cloud Ten is a stallion also. If it is going to be published sources must be checked...word of mouth is not good enough. Not to lessen the importance of Arctic Bright View. I can't wait to see the movie! I was familiar with 3 of the horses prior to the movie so it should be exciting!

Ever since the ads started appearing for 'The Lone Ranger' I wondered if Arctic Bright View was involved. Glad to see he seems to be doing fine in his new career!

Awesome article! Airdrie Apache resides in Nevada at Desert Oasis Sporthorses. While he is no longer servicing outside mares, we breed him to a select number of our mares and have a few Airdrie line horses for sale; one of which is a 1/2 sister to Arctic Bright View!

Anglachel, I was not aware of Cloud Ten...did he star as one of the horses that played Silver? I was just going by what the owner told me.

re: OTTB Spotlight: Arctic Bright View Stars as Silver

Anglachel — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:13:37 GMT

"While at least three other horses were also trained to portray Silver in "The Lone Ranger," Arctic Bright View was the only white stallion in the group--the rest were geldings and mares--a true testament to the horse's rarity."

Actually, this is untrue. There is also at least one other stallion that was purchased to play a role in The Lone Ranger, Cloud Ten of Blazing Colours Farm here in Canada.
