This is Buzz coming into his summer coat.
Wow!
My ever changing clydesdale x cob filly, passport has her as a blue roan. She'll be 2 in June.
normal for tobiano expressionPiggybacking on this thread, seeing as we've got the genetic enthusiasts in here, not because I think she's unusual, I just find genetics interesting!
What gene (if any) would be responsible for flecking on the coloured patches of a skewbald?
This is the same (nearly) 4yo mare from my previous post that people suspected has nd1 as she gets a dorsal stripe when shedding. She had a little bit of white flecking in her winter coat, but since shedding to her summer coat she's got lots of white in her chestnut splodges! Photos I took at the weekend attached.
Back splodge with aforementioned stripe:

Grey tobiano is his best description 'blue and white' can mean a few different things, often used for grey over here, but obviously the same could be said about blue roan tobiano.my boy arrived this colour (1st pic) but after 4 years has whitened considerably (2nd pic) . i was told he was blue and white as his skin is definitely more black than pink
passport just says grey
Thanks Ester! Can I expect her to get more flecked as she grows? Or is it likely to fluctuate over her life?normal for tobiano expression
Ahh thanks Ester!!

That's the one ðŸ‘Pretty sure we'd always established buzz as buckskin roan (brown/bay behind the buckskin tests the same anyway)
Also might be helpful to mention that nd1 (not dun1) adds primitive markings but generally not coat dilution (I think that's still a bit of a work in progress, I think there's a theory that blacks that fade may well be nd1.
Clydiegirl I think for the time being blagdon is a good description, given that we don't yet know what generates that sort of phenotype.
