Does anyone know what a Blagdon Roan looks like? I believe it is a colour description that the gypsies use a lot but what is it exactly?

There's a photo of one on the Coloured Cob Centre website, its a bit hard to describe, looks mostly solid coloured but with roan patches. Hope that helps!

Blagdon is another colour favoured by gypsy cob breeders. It is any solid colour with a splash of white on the belly. A Blagdon roan can be blue roan, black roan or strawberry. Here is a gorgeous Blagdon roan mare.

We have a clydesdale mare that has been discribed as a red blagdon. She is bay roan and white, a mix of bay and white body hair with a mix of black and white mane and tail hair. She would be skewbald in the coloured world which any colour (other than black) and white. Hence my login name!!!
