What colour is she?

First of all will she keep the spots or will they fade is the question... :) also what colour would you call her?Her dam is a few spot and her sire is a leopard spot :D [img]http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q130/tanzaniteminiaturehorses/025.jp…]

It's hard to tell from the lighting and angle of that photo, but I think she's a large blanket. I strongly suspect she will roan out (but her spots should stay and she may even get more... I'm thinking she may eventually appear as a leopard).

I really hope you don't mind, but I was trying to see the spots better myself so I upped the contrast a bit to see.

Terribly cute foal, I must say!

anyway, if you don't want me posting those just say so and I'll take them down, I just thought maybe it'd help if anyone else's monitor was giving them trouble seeing like mine was. on mine it was very washed out though, I really couldn't see other than the larger spots.

Would she be one of those cases of a PATN1&2? If she (or one of the parents) is a blanket/leopard.

It's foals like this that support the theory of multiple genes controlling the amount of white seen. However, having said that, do we know that the dam is indeed a fewspot and not a roaned-out blanket?

Can we see photos of the dam? Before reading she was a fewspot, I thought she was grey from the little I can see, and foal appears to have the grey around his eyes...

What a cutie! Near leopard that is probably going gray. If she does turn gray, then yes, the spots will eventually fade.

I cannot see any spots on the Dam and I think the chances are she amy be Grey, in which case there is a 50/50 chance the foal will Grey too.
Do you know the Dams bloodlines??

yeah the mare has spot on her back and on front legs and also her muzzle is covered in spots..

More pictures would be helpful. From what I can see, the spots on the dam look faded, like they're slowing disappearing. That means grey.
