Piccies of youngsters front leg marking!!

You know... your Facebook security is really irrelevant. You can link anyone to a Facebook photo that you can see, you just have to open the image in a new window and then give that link instead.

I think you have one very unusually marked baby there!! No, I don't think he'll black out at this point!

And the tail is the "dead badger" look. River has one and previously our clydesdale combo did.

I think it's a sabino colouring (hence the roaning too). River has roan flanks to match her dead badger tail.

Your right the reason they wouldnt show is I had deleted them from FB :o:rolleyes::D
 
Tail just looks like foalie tail and will probably black out but I've never seen a "brindle" leg on a horse before - sorry its the only way to describe it. Could just be sun bleaching but its an odd place to have it and markings look quite strong. You may just have a very unusually marked horse!

it might change when his summer coat comes through my old cob was a light bay in the winter and a liver chesnut in the summer :confused: confusing i know. as for the tail think it will probably stay that colour. you could try washing with colour enriching shampoo for his colour.;)
 
The tail looks like a Gulastra plume (caused by sabino, I think) and wont black out, if I'm right.

Your boy

This is the most striking Gulastra plume that I've ever seen. Unfortunately he's not mine. :(

Has been this colour since the day he was born..and now summer coat is through no change!!
 
Faracat thats amazing Galustra plume!! I have never heard of it, and to be honest his tail was the least worrying thing as I did think that would black out eventually having never ween a Bay with a light tail before!! until seeing your boy (lovely lad btw :D) sabino...wonders where thats come from!!
 
If your boy has socks with spiky/wobbly edges (rather than straight) then he very likely has the sabino gene. :)

ETA, what white does he have on his face?
 
P.S. - the galustra plume is what I know as "dead badger"!!! That arab baby has an albino badger ;)

Sabino isn't roaning par se, but causes clydesdales and shires to have that roany/spotty belly that they have.

Dorey is grey, so it's impossible to tell for sure what colour she carries but River has a few correct sabino markings! The galustra plume, a yellow hoof despite only having 1/3 of a white sock and the ticking on her flanks!

Dorey, interestingly, has ragged lines round her socks (well, she actually has tiny black spots!) and her skin is covered in pink spots and patches getting bigger (so she may have been a quite heavily roaned bay had she not carried grey!)

Here is what I imagine Dorey would look like - and perhaps it's her Mum? LOL!

This couoring malarky is very confusing :D heres what I know mums a black and tan..(horse jumping in siggy) dad is a DK bay genetics tested he doesnt carry the Chestnut gene...so where has the sabino come from mum or dad??...

I'm going for bay (minimal) sabino. :)

The mare that S087 posted has alot of sabino, but you can also get maximum sabinos, that are born totally white. :D
 
Alot of horses have sabino. It is one of the genes that causes white leg and face markings.

ETA, this mare is positive for sabino.

Thanks for all the info..:D...but just too clarify :D at two we think the dodgy coloured front leg and tail are here to stay lol...my farrier loves this boys markings especially the leg..thinks he is most unusual,especially for a 3/4 bred TB!! :D
 
River is slightly above minimal sabino with her dead badger and her flecks. Dorey I suspect is a heavily marked sabino under her grey.

Which does suddenly throw Dorey's breeding into disrepute. I'd always assumed IDX but she could be any draught cross... or just an IDxcob whereby the cob happened to be heavily sabino!

How interesting! Little Cigar has a similar roan foreleg; it's the only white on his body. This pic was taken when he was a foal

And this one when he was nearly 2

His tail is all black though. Mum has a tiny bit of white on one heel, and dad none at all.

PF that looks similar apart from my boy is from knee down!! It has grown on me although I do think it looks like he has had a badly wrapped bandage which has killled the hair!! I really thought his tail would change though!!
