Oh my lord.
My big hunky chunk of malted brown bread is getting big patches of mould on him!!

Well actually he's yet again changing colour...
When I bought him he was a roan bay with pale greyish colour underneath when he was clipped.
As he's got older in the summer months he's started going increasingly ginger with the grey getting darker when I clip him in winter.
This year his summer coat is coming through ginger again but with great big dark greyish dapples up his neck and across his bottom! In the wrong light he looks like hes got mould growing up him! The funny thing is that the dapples on his neck start at his rug line - below that there aren't any!

So what colour do I call a white feathered, white bellied, ginger-with-a-greyish-hint, dark grey dappled, white flecked Clydesdale?

Other than manky............ :)
 
I'm away at the moment so will take some photos when I get back.
Seriously though it looks so weird. On his body up to where his rug meets around his neck theres no dapples and then all of a sudden "DAPPLES!!"
They're all funny shapes - he looks like he got a fungal infection!! (Obviously its not, before anyone accuses me of horse neglect!!)
My horse is some sort of genetic coloured freak!!
 
Well, mould is a fungus and mushrooms are fungi too, also, being 'hovis' and looking a mouldly bread colour, bread reminds me of potatoes so...



MUSH-SPUD :D

Hope you've brought him his own laptop if you've gone away - so he can keep in contact with his groupies :D
