One unusual and highly-prized pattern is the Blagdon, being any solid color with white splashed under the belly.

OOh now that is interesting!
I thought blagdon was a hairy gypsy type horse that they had given a posh name to.

How's this? Is she pink enough?

She was so gorgeous, and a complete nightmare. She was a 12.2hh show pony, and in this pic her jockey was 10.

I'd like to add a picture of a 'roan' that we used to own. He was a pure bred arab and I think he was officially registered as a chestnut/grey (I think that's what you put when registering young stock that you have no idea what colour it'll turn out to be!). He never greyed out as expected but he's not a 'true' roan as he doesn't have solid coloured points, I think nowadays this colour type is called rabicano (sounds like some awful disease to me....) Anyway, as a 7yr old girl I thought he was the prettiest horse in the world.

Edited: Doesn't look like my link works.....Hmmm, sorry perhaps it will work if I just post a link?

This is mine. Excuse the poses - I swear he knows when I'm taking a shot and pulls a face.

He goes through three colours though - he's very red during the winter. Nearly white in the spring (but with black legs and a red head) and then grey (with redder legs and still a read head) in the summer.

These are summery shots so probably don't show his redness as such.

Please excuse his fatness in the second one. I promise he doesn't look like that now - he's slimline now.
