After a morning thunder storm the temperature cooled down which caused a lot of playing around. Goober, a Gold Champagne  gelding quarter horse, is sparring with an older bay gelding quarter horse.

Sampson, a classic champagne stallion, and Joker, a grulla stallion, check each other out prior to a minor territorial scuffle.

Sampson, a Classic Champagne quarter horse stallion, has been turned loose from a conformation photo session and is in a hurry to get back to his mares. In this picture you can clearly see the reverse dappling that is found on some champagne horses. Reverse dappling is dark spots surrounded by lighter lacing. On Sampson the dappling effect is best seen when he sheds his winter coat.

Another picture of Goober, this one taken at sunset. He is a Gold Champagne colored horse which is the result of a red colored horse, such as a chestnut or sorrel, bred to a horse carrying the dilute champagne gene. A champagne horse will have freckled pink skin, which can be seen around his mouth, and amber eyes.
