Might be brown silver, but it is best to wait until she is 1 year old to properly see the colour.

Most likely Silver Brown Dun Tobiano

Could also be a Silver Grulla Tobiano, they sometimes appear brown-ish at birth

Thanks for the feedback! I looked in the guide but I don't understand the genetic stuff at all! :roll: :?
I need to learn more about horses colors!

Thanks again!

I see she is almost 1 now, and it is clear she is brown dun silver. Both her parents are brown, so no surprises here, dam is also dun (but without silver), sire is silver without dun. As both dun and silver are dominant, she only needed the one copy of each which she got from respective parents. (All three are also tobiano which I didn't repeat all the time).
As far as looks are concerned, brown is a mostly black horse with reddish-brown "soft spots" - nose and belly. Dun lightens most of the body, but not belly, legs and head - that's where the greyish overlay on your filly comes from. Silver bleaches mare and tail - tail is already white from tobiano, but mane has a whiter "check" in the middle where it is tobiano-marked, so the rest of the mane can only be made white by silver.
