The Medicine Hat Horse |
Medicine Hat is the name applied to horses having a unique and rare pattern of color. Being mostly white in body, Medicine Hats have color on their ears and top of the head, which resembles a bonnet or hat. Color on the chest is termed a shield. Other areas of color vary, but may show around one or both eyes and in the flanks. Often one or both eyes are partially or totally blue, especially when the area around the eye is unpigmented. There are exceptions, some have dark eyes surrounded by white skin. They may be of any base color, often roaning of the base color is present as well. Medicine Hats are described by their base color such as bay Medicine Hat, black roan Medicine Hat, chestnut Medicine Hat etc.. War Bonnet is a name given to horses of a similar pattern which exhibit less color, usually having just the Hat and very little, if any, other colored areas.
Legend has the Medicine Hat Horse appearing in Native American culture, being used as a Ceremonial Horse, Buffalo Runner, and a War Horse. Some of the Plains tribes which considered the Medicine Hat to be supernatural protection against harm were the Sioux, Cheyenne, Blackfoot, Comanche and Kiowa Tribes. Being of mostly white coloration, paintings of special symbols were used on Medicines Hats to add strength to the horse and depict special happenings, such as battles and captured ponies, in the life of his rider. There were considered so special that only tribal chiefs and medicine men and great warriors were only allowed to ride them. http://www.equiworld.net/breeds/medicinehathorse/index.htm

Lol.I just checked her.Shes bagging up well but not swollen in the back part yet.Her bag is tight and seems somewhat full but her teats are not leaking,waxing or even swollen yet,just the bag itself is filling and looking bigger.She hasnt looked oddly shaped yet either but we are watching her close.Shes kinda moody,not as hungry and walks more gently like shes trying to be careful.The baby seems to be kicking and moving around alot more and we can see it doing so while she stands still.We have Vickie looking in on her as well when we are out so hopefully she wont completely surprise us! There are 3 of us here in this area watching her closely! I will let you know as soon as she does have the foal,and will send you pictures.I hope it is a medicine hat,that would be great.We will love it if its solid but really hope its marked well like daddy.Talk to you later,take care:) Val.
