Pics, what colour is she?

[SadKen]

This is my girl Poppet (Pops!).

To me, she’s a skewbald, but having read previous colour threads on here, I know there’s a bit more to it. Anyone got any ideas?

The mask on her nose is to stop the sunburn, in case anyone wonders. Also I know she looks a bit plump but it’s gas, there are still ribs to be felt! She isn’t standing very nicely but figured it didn’t matter for a colour thread!

And aren't her "paw print" marks a sign she could be homozygous coloured?

I popped off for a google when I read FP's post and the paw print/ink spot marks apparently may suggest this.

Sire was coloured/PB Welsh (Dycott Denzell) and mum was at least part thoroughbred as her sire was Now Then Minizen.

I guess that means if she was to have a foal, the foal would be coloured no matter what colour the sire was? Interesting. I have no intention of having foals but it's fascinating!

ETS I've just done a further google and it turns out her breeder is Charlotte Dujardin's sister!

Do you have a photo of her in her winter coat? I'm just wondering if she's bay or brown.

 

[SadKen]

I can't find any Faracat, I think they are all on my old (broken) phone. She was much darker in winter though, almost black. She's now a chocolatey colour, if that's any help. I'd probably lean more towards brown than bay, it's almost too flat a colour to be bay, based on the normally coloured bays I've seen.

Here's another pic in case it helps at all - apparently the internet tells me that the white hairs edging the dark patches are 'ghost' or 'halo' lines. Makes her sound very dashing!

Sorry to go off topic but your nose net is on the wrong way. The soft padding should be on the nose and the Velcro straps on the top of the noseband.

Good shout! YO fixed it after I took the photos I also put boots on upside down and on the wrong legs!

We had a very similar one to her, and he was registered tobiano. He was out of the Queens horse ( stallion) I think he was called Mars.

She can only be homozygous if both parents were coloured

I've heard it called 'mapping' too.

RE bay/brown, does he have a brown muzzle in the winter?
