Congratulations, that's terrific! I see roany blankets, too.

random: yesterday, however, I held a black mare for the farrier and asked about her breeding - QH or BS paint. Turns out she was an appy. I'd have never, ever guessed, she had no appy characteristics at all. A very pretty mare, but nothing appy about her. I think she was six, so I don't know if she'll end up lightening up and getting any spots. Both her parents were totally spotty (but apparently each was 1/2 QH, so maybe she got both solid sides).

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

People with true credibility and integrity don't need to tell other people how great they are. They also don't need to belittle other people to feel superior.
