I bred Macarena to our pony stallion, Lil Champagne Tease for an Arabian Pony, due in May 2010. This will be our
first Arabian Pony, return in late May for updates.

In 2010, I had Macarena tested for CA and SCID and she is clear/negative
for both.

Macarena tested EE AA, so she is homozygous for the black gene
and Homozygous for agouti so she cannot produce a black or a chestnut/sorrel no matter what color stallion she is bred to.
One of her agouti gene's is actually At for seal brown, as evidenced by both of her foals by the black Friesian stallion
being seal brown. Dutch was tested by Michal at Pet DNA of Arizona and he was confirmed to be seal brown.
A seal brown foal will appear bay at birth but will shed to a brown/black, sometimes looking like what is called black
bay, to a very black horse with a mealy muzzle and sometimes the flanks are lighter. Often confused with black or with
bay that some call black bay, which is actually just a descriptive term used to denote a horse that has the black mane, tail
and legs but the body is also "near black".

Macarena's 2010 foal: Foaled May 18th. I'm working on a name for her but want to spend a little time to get to
know her better. She is very sweet and inquisitive. Her conformation is exactly as I had expected. Her sire
has allowed the mares to determine the foals "type" and this filly is no different. She is a smaller version of her
dam and I couldn't be happier. This filly is expected to mature 13 to 13.3 hands.
