Pipe Dream's Oh My My "Mick"
Boldly coming up to investigate the scary thing that Diane used to get photos.
For new folks wondering, Mick is Bay Roan. Yes, Bay Roan is still extremely rare in Percherons. Mick makes #6. Bay Roan is no longer found in any other country that the Percheron breed exists but the United States. While there were likely not 1,000s of them, there were much much more Bay Roan Percherons than today coming over seas from France while the breed was being imported in the mid 1800s through 1930s.
Mick's sire, Hunter is 1 of the 3 original Bay Roans born here in 2020', prompting an article to be written and a little bit of fanfare. The last Bay Roan was born 43 years earlier. Prior to that it was believed that our last Bay Roans were roughly 50 years earlier. No one was intentionally breeding or keeping the Bay Roan Percheron and they became a myth like a white whale. Without being in the eye of the public, a lot of mis information has been spread, spoken and grown into what so many believe the Percheron truly is. People who are uneducated about Percheron facts and history think that the Percheron can only be Black and Grey. The United States and Canada are the only two countries that choose to continue to allow the Percheron to be Registered, bred, and raised in all of the original color options that were present at importation of the breed into our respective countries.
Black, Grey, Bay, Brown, Chestnut, Blue Roan, Bay Roan, Red Roan.
Mick is still looking for his next new owner and we do require that Mick is to be a gelding. He is sweet as pie and just as deserving of a loving home as any other foal. Should make 17hh and be a pretty big chunky boy.
