I have four ponies, one of which is called shalako (i didnt pick the name) She is a black tobiano 3 yrs filly. I live in Rossendale, Lancashire. I have a little boy who is nearly 2. Im planning to breed some nice, lightweight coloured types from her in the future.

In Bicky's photo of her coloured cob? can you not see them?...if not, I reckon they are a rare breed of sheep? sorry to cause confusion, I just thought lots of black & white animals was funny

Welcome Shalako, For you info...
Zunis instead hold the Shalako ceremony. The winter celebration is held to welcome Shalako, messengers from the gods who will bring blessings of fertility, long life and prosperity to Zuni residents. During the two-day celebration, the rituals and ceremonies reenact the creation of the Zuni and their migration to their pueblo Halona I’tiwana (Middle Anthill of the world).
Each year, members of the community are singled out to host Shalako. In preparation, hosts, with the help of the residents, build new but modest homes large enough to carry out their ceremonial responsibilities — cooking, providing bedding, etc. As the Shalako arrive, each with a certain purpose, they wend their way among the celebrants that gather in the ceremonial plaza surrounding the Old Zuni Mission (Our Lady of Guadalupe church). Residents sprinkle them with offerings of cornmeal as they pass en route to the host houses. There they spend the night dancing, praying, celebrating and feasting until the next afternoon.
Brings back memories of a pony I used to ride called Shalako, 30 years ago (ouch). He was a skewbald.
