Went to see 'Penny' earlier, liked her alot. Showed my interest, and now gathering the finances together (I hope).
My only slight disapointment was the fact that she was advertised as 'chestnut roan', (whats the difference between chestnut and strawberry roan?) and it turns out she is 'grey roan' (?) and in my opinion greying out. See what you think? She was born bright chestnut, and is clearly turning into??? I had several rules regarding purchasing a youngster, filly - check, make approx 13.2hh - check and ''I didn't want a bay or grey'', - ummm, debatable!!
BUT, as she is a total sweetie, I can't say no. The saying says a good horse is never a bad colour - its just not quite what I had in mind!!!
Oh, and I HAVE to get her out of all the hazzards she is living amoungst - think horse proof and think the opposite. Total crazy. Total miracle she hasn't hurt herself - yet.

Thanks to my mum for holding her. We got lovely kisses too!! lol
 
Thanks for replies... I know she will be grey, *sigh* but colour isn't important. She is very cheap, which is what drew my attention to her - that and the fact that she shares the same birthday as Meg.

So, just out of interest, what IS the difference, if any, between a strawberry roan and a chestnut roan?
 
love her mane!!!!! its mad!!! how in anyway can she be described as chestnut roan?!?! bless her anyway - what are your plans for her future?
