“Nothing is Forever” “I’ll lend you for a little while My grandest foal, He said For you to love while he’s alive And mourn for when he’s dead It may be one or twenty years Or day or months, you see But will you, till I take him back Take care of him for me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief You’ll have treasured memories As solace for your grief, I cannot promise he will stay, Since all from Earth return. But there are lessons taught on earth, I want this foal to learn. I’ve looked the wide world over, In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes, With trust, I have selected you. Now will you give him your total love? Nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I come To take him back again? I know you’ll give him tenderness And love will bloom each day. And for the happiness you’ll know Forever grateful stay. But should I come and call for him Much sooner than you’d planned You’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And someday you’ll understand. -Unknown author **************

Prism Paints and Quarter Horses new Stallion prospect "HOUSTON" standing to "Very Limited Book" in 2003... this APHA Stallion has a  unique history and color producing capabilities along with his Pleasure genetics...see pics Houston's dad (Sonnys Zippin It below) along with Sonnys accomplishments for Genetic background data for "Houston".. Houston will have to be registered a "Breeding Stock" Paint (even tho he's the next thing to a Homozygous Overo Pattern...high percentage color producer with rare quad patterns) because he does not have a 2" spot of contrasting color to go with all his white, we will not be showing this young stud...his get and production records will have to sell him alone.

"Houston"

Extreme Tovero/Living Lethal
(Living Lethal being a Misnomer to help teach others that not all White horses are Overo Lethal White)
Foaled 5/4/01

Houston was born on a Friday morning, May 4, 2001 with an uneventful delivery by a maiden mare "Ambers Romance" an APHA Tri-color Tobiano and sire was "Sonnys Zippin It" APHA sorrel Frame Overo.,and this is the part where Houston got his name...I sent a message via our Foal Cam for my Hubby at work that said  "Houston, we have a problem"...he rushed home shortly thereafter.   We were amazed by his large size as he was being foaled and kept saying "Okay, now...where are his Spots?. I asked for White...but, NOT all White!. Our hearts just sank, called the veterinarian for advice and to be put on alert and went to our favorite Horse Forums for advice. After Houston (our Living Lethal/Extreme Tovero) was foaled out, we gasped in horror and wondered, how did THIS happen?. All kinds of advice was given to us such as "oh, you better just put him down now, and not let the little bugger suffer, and the heartbreaker feeling of the possibility that this might have to be done if he started exhibiting pain.....After many calls to our vet for advice and to standby "just in case" .We waited and thought that the magic time frame would be 12-24 hrs...we saw Houston poop (pass feces) and were overwhelmed with JOY..talked to the internet forum people with my joyous news the following day and our vet.....more veterinarian advice..."no, you are not out of the woods yet...had to wait at least 72 hours when Houston would be passing not only meconium, but Milk Feces...meaning that would be the determination whether he lived or died. Oh man, did that hit us like a bomb when our hopes were So High!...another couple days of torture and waiting, and since we had given him two enemas, finding feces in the hay was like...well...like finding straw colored feces in a Hay Stack...almost impossible and we could not see him passing it and thought we saw a trace on his leg, but...maybe we were just wishing...Finally by the 3rd day, there it was...Houston was passing Milk Feces and not showing any signs of distress and eating and playing like any Normal Foal!. We could not believe our good fortune and could not contain our excitement that Houston was going to LIVE!, our Living Lethal. We did not have to give him any special care ...just closely observed him and his symptoms and elimination process'. Found out the "probable" reason for him being "All White" with pink skin and blue eyes and ALIVE...was that he was a "Extreme Tovero"...from Quad Patterns (we research back in his pedigree) ie: Frame Overo, Tobiano, Tovero, Splash or Sabino patterns.... It was a "nightmare" experience to say the least. If nothing else comes of this...perhaps the term "Living Lethal" would be a good lesson for other paint breeders out there to simply "not assume" you have a lethal white...perhaps it's an Extreme Tovero, and to watch and wait ...if you make it past 72 hours and your foal is eating and acting healthy and passes feces (not as simple as just watching for some feces. Heard from a vet that some lethal actually can still pass meconium feces and that the intestinal paralysis is closer to the stomach, and lethal white's cannot pass Milk feces) hence, waiting 72
hours...as that is the period of time a foal will need to pass Milk stool (Feces).
