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.

The first one could be an appy type colour or maybe sabino roan, the second looks seal brown classic roan, the third looks maybe chestnut classic roan?

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.

So if I understand it correctly you think that he is a varnish roan with snowcape pattern?

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).

I don't think either horse carries LP. Neither has striped hooves or mottled skin. The first one I'm almost positive is just a classic roan in winter coat and the second I believe is a buckskin on a brown base (the lightness is winter coat) without anything else.

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).

I would say roan for the first one and the second looks exactly like my buckskin cob. She could be brown with creme... What do you call it? Latte?

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.

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".

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.

I take back what I said, I think the first is roan.

I'm torn between roan and appy varnish roan/snowflake...the heavier white over the rump, then add in the white coming in over the shoulder, etc., could easily be roan + snowflake.

My classic roan boys seem to have more white over their rumps in the winter time. Although, I will admit, not as extensive as this guy.

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 :)

upps :oops:

Hmmm. The first I think is a red dun. The second looks more like a bay with counter shading to me.

I agree with you MP, I'd say a red dun and a bay with counter shading too

I agree as well.

Agreed.

Same here!

Okay thank you :)

For the first one I also thought red dun but the second one I wasn't sure.
