[size=150][b][color=#004080]We adopted Azure from a rescue who was taken in as a former PMU baby...we were told she was 3/4 Shire and Draft....I have seen images of her father and he doesn't look Shire at all to me (which you would think he'd have to be at least half to lend his portion to make Azure 3/4 Shire), maybe a shred, but he looked more like a Blue Roan Percheron or Brabant with Quarter Horse or something like that...but without knowing the TRUE input to Azure's bloodline we are left trying to guess her color. We adopted her as a "Palomino Roan" as the rescue was also lost on defining her color. Her mane and tail are Silver colored, not blonde (after we got her home and her mane grew an additional 6 inches, she was obviously silver maned and not blonde), her upper body is roanlike, but it looks to be in a chocolate (or Dilute) family...she has a faint dorsal stripe, as well as some faint chocolate striping up her legs, which from the knee down are also like a dark-chocolate color, ALMOST black (which it looks sometimes in pictures) but not quite. She has a white stripe on her forehead and her left rear foot has some white, other than that she has been mistaken for a buckskin, a silver factored buckskin, a blue roan, a bay roan and of course the palomino roan.....I thought I would leave it to the more schooled people for discussion....I know the easiest way is to have her DNA tested, but maybe we can come up with some good guesses and when I do eventually have her color tested we can verify whose guess was closest or hit it right on the head....does that sound fun?[/color][/b][/size]

This last image is of what she looked like about 4 weeks before we brought her home....I still have to get some more updated photos as she looks GREAT now...and she's grown about 3 hands in the last two years! She's between 16/2 hh and 17 hh! She really does make "normal" horses seem SMALL!
