What color is my horse?

Post by Redhorsedream »

What color is my horse? He looks like a bay with a white mane and tail. How old does he need to be before any potential spots show up? He's part Appaloosa.

I am a newbie at horse coloring and dilutions, but I believe he is a blood bay with a flaxen mane and tail. It is highly likely that I am wrong, though. :roll: Sorry! :D

:) No prob. The closest I can come to is a silver bay.

I may have nailed it with that find.

I may have linked the wrong thing last time. I can't see because it's not approved yet or something.

He's silver bay :)

LP varnish and snowflakes usually appear around age 1, but in this case, I doubt he's inherited the LP that triggers varnish and allows patn1 or patn2 to express. Meaning, he technically could've gotten the patn-genes his sire has - but just not be able to express them since he isn't LP.
