As Good As it Gets


What is her color? It hard to define since she isn't pink/light or have spots around the muzzle area. Plus those white spots on her butlock?

the white spots that are on the butt are snowflakes and the coat would be like a mealy bay with varnish, love that her sire is one of my studs on my other account though

It's not a mealy bay. Mealy, in general, is not common on Arabians unless you breed it in (which in this case is possible, since the Deliboz do at some point go back into Mongolians, but I don't think so... and if it were going to be mealy it'd be a mealy brown). That being said, it looks more like a Smoky brown with snowflakes to me, and he's varnishing as was previously said. The fact that he was so light as a baby already points to him having a cream gene. Plus, if you go down the sire's side you'll find cream in the lines.

She's a smoky brown snowflake. (You don't have to call her varnish since any spotted colouration is impossible to see without the Lp (varnish roan) gene.)
