Roan in PRE?

I don't know enough Spanish to translate his papers, but there is a clear as day roan stallion on that web page...

I don't know Spanish either, but I have seen Lipizzaners that I believed were roan under the gray.  So I find it easy to believe it could hide under all the gray.

Well if I try and remember this correctly, there are different registries in Spain (not one universal PRE registry). And at one point they tried to make PRE's in different parts of the country their own breed/registry. I want to say breeders in Northern Spain were through to have crossed draft blood in for a larger mount, which is how roan snuck in. But I can't remember my sources, I feel like we may have talked about it on here.

I don't remember that particular conversation...but then my memory isn't great at times so that isn't say much lol.

It might have been discussing one of the comico horses, some one mentioned that draft infusion tidbit. I found out about the registry history his year. I'll have to see if I can dig up some solid history on that.
