Calling all colour geeks. Got another funny coloured one

[Auslander]

I'd say it was spotty meself, but...

No recorded breeding, unfortunately.
She's an absolute cracker, whatever she is. Super little mare

Thats a brown spotty one in my book

That's about as far as my spot knowledge took me too

 

[Maddie Moo]

She looks a bit like a roan snowflake with blanket spot which according to Google is nLp/Patn2Patn3.

Possibly appaloosa, note the sparse mane.

She said it's not sparse, it's timesaving.
Hope the owner doesn't want me to plait it when she goes to parties! Don't fancy my chances of getting nice fat hooded plaits in that!

I always thought my spotty had a good mane and tail until I realised I haven't had to trim her mane for 8 years and her forelock is shorter now than when she was a yearling.

The cobs on the other hand can grow hair to their ankles in months.

I had to ask on one of the appaloosa FB pages what colour mine was. Even now I'm not sure I saw bay varnish roan snowcap in the right order.....

Having spent over an hour last night holding the old fart while a hairdresser friend reduced mane to this (and there is the same amount of mane on the other side of his neck!), I am all for sparse spotty manes that don't need trimming!

I love sparse manes, not so keen on very sparse tails though, useless against flies.

She has a fab tail, considering her type

 

[Glitter's fun]

She is absolutely beautiful. I have no idea what colour she is but I notice that like me you conclude that sparse mane=neck strap!

Can’t help with the colour except to say a 13.2 with the same colouring taught me an awful lot around 50 years ago.

 

[AutumnDays]

Ooh she looks like mine! Mines Arab x Appy. Fancily listed as a spotted bay roan varnish in her passport

 

[EarsofaSnowman]

She's lovely

That's not me - I'd squash the poor little thing flat! It's her new owner on board, and despite having some nerves to work through, after the first horse she bought last year put her through hell - she hasn't felt the urge to grab the neck strap once. The mare is just a saint!

Camouflage colour.

She is very pretty but you could miss her on a beach.
