Height doesn't have much to do with her being a warmblood. It's bone that has a key role in it so it might just be that she wasn't light enough to be classed as a riding horse.

As for the snowflake, the link keeps taking me back to this thread so I can't see her sire/grandsire or dam/granddam to tell if they're het or homozygous for snowflake gene. Snowflake will only show with two copies of the gene (like KP/GP) so her site and dam have to be at least both be heterozygous for it.

Since her grandsire on both sides was homozygous snowflake, both her sire and her dam are heterozygous snowflake. There is a 1 in four chance that she inherited neither snowflake allele, 2 out of 4 chance that she is heterozygous snowflake, and a 1in 4 chance that she's homozygous snowflake. She doesn't have enough color on her to tell if she's the last.

Here's the correct link to the filly: http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=4289075

Thank you Sandy creek.. I have no Idea what I did on that.. I just really don't understand how so many light horses can produce a warmblood.. Also I didn't know if anyone had figured out a "trick" to tell if there was snowflake... She was snipped anyway.. so I guess it doesn't matter
