The Paso Fino Horse Bursts Into Color!

The Paso Fino Horse pictured in the previous "Paso Fino Horse Directory" logo is a Perlino-colored Paso Fino. The Perlino carries two copies of the creme gene, which is a dilution gene, on a bay-based horse. Her offspring all will have one copy of this dilution gene, producing the much sought after diluted colors of horses such as Palomino, Buckskin and Smokey Black, depending on the influence of other color genes from both Dam and Sire. Double-dilutes (two copies of creme gene) such as the Perlino and Cremello, have blue eyes. The pupils are usually a very dark blue, while the iris is a very light blue. Cremello is a chestnut-based horse with two copies of the dilution or creme gene.

The field of flowers Tai Tai is standing in is the State Flower of Texas, the Texas Bluebonnet. People come from all over in April to photograph the flowers, sit in fields of the flowers, and photograph their children, girlfriends and boyfriends. Lines of cars will pull up along the side of busy highways to partake in the splendor of carpets of the richest, most unusual blue nature creates. The scent of the bluebonnet is as glorious as it's beauty. My property in areas is wall-to-wall  in this State Flower, and it is a site for the eyes to behold and the olefactory senses to be drenched in. There is an annual Bluebonnet Festival that is the official fair held yearly in a small town by the name of Chapel Hill, where many Polish immigrants began their life here as well as Germans. This small, sleepy town holds another historic interest in a Mason Cemetery where ancestors of Colonel Travis of the famed Alamo are buried. Not far from there stands the home of General Sam Houston's (First President of the Republic of Texas, and the one who led the Texians in the Battle of San Jacinto to defeat Generalisimo Santa Ana of Spain) wife and burial place. Just a little piece of Texas flavor brought 'round for ya'll to have a taste of!
