Sire:  Merry-Go-Round's Paso-Doble, 31 ¼" Black
      Grand Sire:  Merry-Go-Round's Carbon Black, 32" Black, No Cross
      Grand Dam: Merry-Go-Round's Oreo Cookie, 32" Black, No Cross

Dam:  Merry-Go-Round's Lady Black Star, 32 ¼" Black, No Cross
      Grand Sire:  Braying Pines B.J.'s ZZ Top, 32" Black, No Cross
      Grand Dam:  Merry-Go-Round's Shady Lady, 33 ½" Gray, NLP

This guy was a month overdue and was born on 6-10, about an hour after his half brother, Butters. He is a deep shiny black with no cross or stripe. There is a 50/50 chance that he inherited a copy of the ivory gene from his sire, Paso. I am so happy with Paso's offspring so far.

Butters is the first foal for both of them. I was so hoping that Paso had inherited the ivory gene from his dam, and this is the proof. An ivory out of two blacks. This little guy is a deep dark ivory, and he has no cross or stripe. If he had not got two copies of the ivory gene, one from each parent, he would be black like his half brother Gourmet Black. He is truly a jewel, as he will give a copy of ivory, but not Dun or Agouti, so bred to black jennets, the foals will be black, unless the black jennet carries a copy of ivory, then it could be ivory. But no gray. I have big plans for this guy.

Dam:  Merry-Go-Round's Dunkin, 34" Gray-Dun w/NLP
      Grand Sire:  Untraced
      Grand Dam:  Untraced

She is a really nice little dark bay, that carries a copy of ivory. I was surprised to get this color out of a gray dun no light point and an ivory. The odds that neither parent would throw a Dun gene were a longshot, but here she is. Her name is MGR Little Treasure. She will be Dunkins last foal as she is getting up there in age and is being retired. Dunkin has been a treasure herself, giving me many blacks and my first ivory Mr Perlino. She really outdid herself for her last baby.
