OK, shall point out here that not all Silvers have dapples, my Silver Bay colt, who has no dapples cos most SB's do not, looks Silver Black when first clipped but has absolutely NO dapples.
Also some Silver Blacks have no dapples.
Add Cream to this and you could, quite possibly, have an atypical, non dappled Silver Black with a dark mane and tail........

Where the white stops and colour starts on the neck, the mane is the same colour as the body....maybe if we could see the tail too it would be more helpful???

Exactly, i've had several Silver Blacks & a couple have had no dapples. ;)
On request, we'll be sending some hair samples off for this mare & another couple, am testing her for Silver. ;)

*updated: haven't colour tested her yet - been slack but adding updated pics.

Actually, can I change my mind lol I dont know if the colour is clearer on my ancient pc today but the forelock isnt silver white but itsnt the same colour as the neck and face.....plus, the face is darker which is always the case with the silvers. Love those blue eyes too! :love

[quote="slaneyrose"]But it would be uniform in colour and this one is not.[/quote]

Not sure on that one...I've ridden a silver that had a not-totally-white tail. Can't remember what Maia's mane/forelock was like, but her tail was dark/black up near the dock and then "faded" to the white for about the last 2/3rds or so. She definitely wasn't patterned, was a WB, and existed before the silver test came out.

No, the mane that is affected by the Pinto would be white, really white, as it is, the mane affected by Silver would depend on how dark the Silver's mane is anyway, it would [i]not[/i] be uniform, as Pinto is involved.
If the Silver had a very very light mane, as some do, there might be virtually no difference in the mane colours, but if, as in the case of one of my Silvers, the mane is dark, there would still be that difference.

Took these yesty, not the best lighting - but naturally summer coat - no clipping.

Now, she's Pinto marked but with the mottling on her muzzle, would i call her Pinto or Pintaloosa???

If I've missed it, sorry, but is it possible that she's part appy (looks very much like a Varnish Roan)?
Would explain the mane colour (and the extensive roaning).
Is there any coloured hair in her tail?

This is her dam, unsure what colour you'd call her?

And her sire is just a normal Chestnut Pintaloosa.

This foal is out of the dam, by an minimal Overo stallion (not mine, nor is the foal), the foal had "grey/silver" on belly & on the hindquarters.
