Champs Guthrie is a very handsome Brown Silver Dilute
AQHA Quarter Horse stallion that isn't just
color. He's the whole package! He has
wonderful conformation, correct gaits and a fantastic
temperament!
Guthrie's
conformation is rectangular in shape, has a beautiful
top-line, excellent neck-set, deep heart-girth,
sloping shoulder with great withers, strong loin
connection, dry joints and straight legs. His gaits
are well-balanced, have good reach, are ground
covering and are smooth as silk.
Guthrie
is an absolute character too! He loves being
part of the family and likes to be in the middle of
things. He tries to help out by brushing us when
we are brushing him. He will grab the manure
fork to clean his own stall and pasture with us.
And ... he loves to make music with the hose in the
water bucket. :)
He is
very smart, personable and enjoys being trained.
He picks new tasks up quickly and retains them.
The
bonus is that Champs Guthrie carries
a very unique and rare dilution gene. The gene
is called 'silver' or the 'Z' gene.
This gene only dilutes black pigment to various shades of brown that can
range anywhere from chocolate color to pewter depending
on whether the horse is bay or black. Manes can
be self-colored like the body color to beautiful blonde-white
colors. Chestnut or sorrel based horses can
carry the gene and pass it on but it does not show
since the silver gene only dilutes black pigment. It
is essentially hidden on a red based horse.

Interesting Note:
Silver dapple seems to appear darker on American Quarter
Horses
than on some other breeds like Rocky Mountain
Horses or ponies.

Progeny
2008 was Champs Guthrie's first foal crop. He
had 8 foals. We are delighted with ALL of
them. Guthrie shows consistency in his foals. All of
his foals display beautiful necks, deep, sloping
shoulders, wonderful hip angles and straight legs.
They are
level-headed, smart and easy to train. All are very
personable and are wowing people who see
and meet them.
He was
purposely bred to a spectrum of mares so we
could see what he would pass on. The mares bred
were Thoroughbreds, Appendix,
Appaloosa/Arab, Oldenburg/TB, Mustang and a Percheron/QH.
Below are what some owners,
vets, friends, trainers and judges have said about
some of Guthrie's foals,
|
|
"... I get compliments all the time",
"all of Guthrie's foals have great legs",
"exquisite",
"I can't believe how
correct she is",
"love the kind eye",
and
"this foal is going to hard to
beat"
To top
it all off ...
Guthrie has 8 foals out of 10 that carry the
silver gene. That's 80% silver!!!
