    Re: Black pastels and cinnamons have gene problems?

    I had a female black pastel that I produced that like that also, you could hear the whistle, from the day she hatched still doing it I am sure. Always ate great, healthy as a horse and I never had any issue with her.

    The sire that produced her was fine and I now have 2 black pewters and I have not noticed any whistle from them never did from any other black pewter I produced.

    Is it a fluke with that animal? Is it because it is a black pastel? Is it because the nasal cavity is different, is it because she is stressed? who know? I surely do not.

    I don't work with super for two reason 1# I don't care for them 2#Higher risk of deformed animals.
