Mushroom - a New Dilution

The Firth/Annandale Connection

The Firth Stud bred a number of mushroom coloured foals from a herd of mainly chestnut & cream chestnut dun ponies. They were registered variously as "cream", "dark cream" & "roan", often with "silver mane & tail". It can be seen that the Firth ponies were very closely bred & most included a lot of Annandale ponies that traced to Avening & South Park lines, as does Lockinge Lucky Clover. We used Firth Honeyclover on a number of different coloured mares, including black & bay, but only 2 mares (both chestnut base colour, produced mushroom coloured foals. Kellas Charmion, chestnut dam of Kellas Chink of Gold & Kellas Chiffon, traces to Houlland, Avening and South Park lines. Grimpowood Tammy is cream chestnut dun, tracing to Houlland & South Park lines. Her sire is Grimpowood Bailey's Original, a "light dun", with 2 lines of Houlland, that was probably also mushroom.

Kellas Torquil was used on 2 mares, 1 black & 1 mushroom. The black mare had a black foal & the mushroom mare had a mushroom foal. Trinket has thrown chestnut dun or chestnut to a chestnut stallion & a mushroom foal to a mushroom stallion. Chiffon had a mushroom foal to a mushroom stallion. Charmion & Tammy have never thrown bay or black foals.
