Re: Not MY horses but what are this colors
a) There's no such thing as a "snowcap leopard". A snowcap is a blanket pattern, a leopard is a nose-to-toes pattern.
b) There is insufficient "white" for that horse to be a snowcap, in the true sense.
c) If he is an appaloosa cross and started out life with a pattern, he probably started with a lacey hip blanket, which is basically just little swatches of white across the bum/hips. He may have had snowflakes as well. For pattern, I would hazard that he is a varnish roan, with, as I said earlier, a snowflake pattern.

Re: Not MY horses but what are this colors
Pony 1: We think he is either a roan (some think sabino and I suspect rabicano too) or that he is a snowflake (think of individual sprinkles of snowflakes), not a snowcap (solid white "cap") pattern with varnish roan...
Pony 2: I think the second pony is either a bay or buckskin with varnish roan - he just hasn't finished roaning yet...lol. See how the color on the face is restricted to the bony areas - a varnish roan indicator; classic roan would stop at the head and this pony has too much frosting on his head/face for classic roan, imho).

Princess doesn't have striped feet or visible mottled skin ;-)
http://www.larrabeeappaloosas.com/foals…" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Second foal down, left-hand column--that's a snowcap. They're LpLp, just like fewspots, but a fewspot has a gene or genes that make the nose-to-toes patterning. Fewspots have to have at least one leopard (born leopard) parent to inherit the nose-to-toes gene(s).

Yes but Princess is the exception rather than the rule and in that photo (I'll recant if the Adurna comes back and says the horse has white patches on its bum and not just white hair) I still says its a red classic roan in a winter coat.
Re: Not MY horses but what are this colors
I don't see roan AT ALL on the second, just buckskin (or brown with cream), in a winter coat. Mine looks like that in her winter woolies, as well (she's also silver and dun)

The first one I think is varnish appy.
The third, assuming we're talking about the tiny one, is a red roan. Looks, color-wise, like my Welsh filly, but I don't have any good photos showing her in her winter woolies, this is the best I can do for now...

ROFL! There's a reason why the name "princess" popped into mind when she was born.
I'm not so sure that first one is app x, either--hence my saying "if".

Re: Not MY horses but what are this colors
Hi!
Thank you .
Now I also think the second one is buckskin.
I just have one other picture of the first one.But I think it doesn't help so much.

Re: Not MY horses but what are this colors
Hi.
I found some other horses and I'm curios what you would say.
This two horses look like dun to me because of the eelstripe but the hole coat color is not very diluted, so what is the basic coat color or aren't they duns and the eelstripe just appear because of countershading?
Thank you :)
Re: Not MY horses but what are this colors
The first one looks red roan to me unless he has a white spot on his rump that you can't see in the picture. The second looks buckskin.
