:-? Hi everyone , Peach is registered as a liver Chestnut , then I clipped here and WOW !!! look what was under that Chestnut coat . She has 3 white socks a few white hairs in her tail , and a white lip , and these spots all over . Someone said that she would be a pinto , but most would see her as a solid color . I am just wondering what color class she belongs in ? I will be showing her in this unusual coat next month .also are these bend or spots ? Thanks for the advice ^Kristen

That looks like a whole mess of Bend Or spots to me. They're associated with "sooty" factor, which is associated with the darker coat shades, like liver chestnuts and dark bays. I've never seen one so unique though!

she has been a sick horse ...worms and lice infestation . all treated now that she is in my care , would any of this be related ? and what about color class , would i be marked down for this ?

krissy if you are showing in a colour class I assume you will have a couple of days growth the get some colour back by which time anything thats rain scald / parasite related will be gone or grown over ( try to reclip her a couple more times before the show) any Bendor spots will still be visable as far as the Bendor spots is concerned well that probably depends upon the judges personal taste
and as for the pattern ....socks , face white and a chin spot says sabino to me
