    Question Pastel thougts?

    I acquired this 2000+ gram female pastel earlier in the year and I am convinced she's just that, a pastel. However, a few people have suggested to me that shes a super pastel, and I was shown some photo's of older specimens to compare her to. I know that they tend to fade the older and larger they get, but...

    ...I have come to the conclusion that she must have been a high expression pastel as a baby, and attribute the still evident blushing and color to this, which, alternatively, I might have seen some poor examples of supers that may have led others to think otherwise.

    Thoughts?

    I agree with the others, that is just one insanely good looking pastel.
