Re: about frosting
It never fails to amaze me how obvious some info is once it is pointed out.
Would you also agree that guard hairs are stiffer and shorter?
I am thinking of a particular horse, I think he is a buckskin and now considering the frosting is indeed white that appears to confirm he is buckskin.
thanks
Re: about frosting
Yup, indeed. Especially on the non dilutes the guard hairs seem shorter and stiffer.
Check this one out. He's presumed bay with no dilutes:

His guard hairs match his coat exactly and in the first photo it almost looks as if his whole mane is self colored, that's why I posted the second as well.
I've also got photos somewhere of some duns (a bay and a red) with their coat matching guard hairs. They're very cool.
Oh here's one (the red):

Most expensive cat in the entire world, as far as I'm concerned. Interesting color note: she appears solid white with a blue eye and a yellow eye, is not deaf, but when she was a kitten she had a couple black hairs on the top of her head that have since disappeared. I'm thinking splash and sabino.
Re: about frosting
Not at all. She sheds something fierce because of her medical problems, though. I actually really like her hair when it's still attached to her body. Super thick, plush, and silky.
I love her, though!

Re: about frosting
Depends.
IMO (and others) the stuff caused by dun, isn't called frosting, its guard hairs. Dun can cause them, and it appears wild bay can cause them as well.
Cream (usually on bay bases) causes frosting.
The difference imo is that guard hairs are body/self colored, and frosting is white.
