Blacks and Bays
Name: Blythe Spirit
Breed: Hanoverian
Year: 1999
Description: Dark brown/blackish? Dark brown body with darker shading.
Mane and tail are black. All four legs are tinted white (to odd effect on a body this dark). Hooves are
peach/pinkish.
Markings: Snip marking, small and pink. There are no true foot markings, but all
legs are tinted white.
Notes: Promotional photos suggest black, but this horse is molded dark
brown. Hair color (black) suggests dark bay, but the legs and muzzle have no black shading. This is a mysterious
coat color, but typical of 1999's strange entries.

Breed: Wurttemburger
Year: 2003-04
Description: Bay mare. Reddish brown body with darker shading. Black shading on muzzle
and legs. Mane and tail are black.
Markings: Star or blaze (?) on face. Socks on both front feet.
Similars: UK Thoroughbred Mare (below) may be near identical, but Moment by Moment
has two socks instead of four. Also, their ranges (North American vs. European) should distinguish them.

shading. Mane and tail are black. Hooves are pinkish/peach.
Markings: White star. No foot markings.
Notes: Ah Pah Ahl was altered slightly and re-released in 2007 as this nameless Appaloosa mare, in a set with a similarly altered foal.
Jury is still out (or has lost interest) on whether these are considered distinct animals.
Similars: Check against Ah Pah Ahl 1. Ah Pah Ahl 2 has no socks, and may
have a looser blanket pattern. (This one's edge-spots don't quite line up with the blanket fringe.)
