That is really a stout looking pony:) Look at that mane! That is a cute picture, is it you?

The pony Jenny had was a miniauture Rocky. Buckskin. When they were out in the pasture at a distance it was hard to tell them apart other then Sonny was alot smaller.

No - it's just another image out of the search for palominos. He's an Icelandic pony. He's got a mane, ain't he?

The Sooty, or Smutty, Gene

Many horses have this aspect of what is most likely a form of natural camouflage.

The Smutty, or Sooty genetic modifier causes some black to become mixed into body coat.

Sorrel becomes dark chestnut or liver chestnut.

Bay becomes mahogany bay.  (Recent research in France shows that most Seal Brown horses carry Agouti, indicating that they may be Sooty Bays)

Palomino becomes sooty palomino, or, in extreme cases, Chocolate Palomino.
