He does go pale in his summer coat. :) I'm sticking with bay roan (for now). :D :p

RE white socks. Splashed White also causes leg/face markings, right up to nearly white horses. They have blockier edges when compared with sabino, however you can get SW and sabino together. SW look as if they've stood in white paint and then dipped their head (and sometimes their tail) in the paint too.

I've been assuming my pony is wild bay, given his black mane and tail but his legs being quite grey, with only black on the joints. Prepared to be corrected though! He's red in the winter (first pic) and quite yellow in summer (second pic) and you can see his legs well in the third picture. He has a black mane but with some cream hairs and some chestnut coloured sections at the sides and the very top of his tail is lighter too.

He's lovely - belated happy anniversary :)

It was the Voyager reference I was enjoying. As I sit here in my Klingon hoodie. I need to get out more ;) I want an XC baselayer with the Klingon saying "Today is a good day to die" on it ;)

Previous horse sounds like a monster though :D

Just playing catchup here :)

Nice to meet another trekkie :) Sad to hear about Leonard Nimoy today (sorry a bit off topic here for a moment).

Deltaflyer, AKA Ronan, Pink Pony, Pink Pig or Ronan Ponanski - wasn't as much a monster as he sounds really, he would jump brilliantly at home, he was just bad in the ring, and, he did have a bit of a buck in him. But I did have a lot of fun with him too. I was warned just after I bought him that roans can be very cheeky, and he was LOL

Your chap looks very handsome BTW :)

Ronan certainly had character. Apart from his ring shyness and occasional bucking he was a lovely chap and a dream to handle from the ground and most of the time, a lovely ride.

Haha there's a few of us geeks lurking on here :) It's a McCoy "I'm a Doctor not a dragonslayer/bricklayer/peeping Tom/..." hoodie I'm writing this from today ;) Indeed, RIP dear Spock.

Sounds like a right character! Monster - but also awesome ;)

Quite a few Trekkie's on here! LLAP
 
My mare is rich mahogany bay with dapples in summer, is darker with light, almost cream muzzle in winter. When clipped she is lovely dark colour, almost black rather than the greyish colour you get with some bays. Tail & mane has bronze through it.
 
we have adark bay one white sock beauty in the summer as his legs go all black, another dark bay white snip & a grey :( so hard to keep clean but hes worth every penny
 
I have a (currently dappled) grey with 2 white socks who is going fleabitten. Like Faracat's, he was a chestnut foal and has ginger freckles!

This is him last year

I have a

Blacks
bay
Skew bald
Piebald
Grey
And as yet unborn.........which I assume will be grey or bay or bay greying out as sire is bay and dam grey?
 
Question for colour experts, I have a grey, he was born black, and now is a steel grey, slightly lighter in the summer. Do all greys eventually go white?
He was out of a bay mare, grey stallion (last picture I saw of him he was a lovely dapple grey).
 
Anyone want to hazard a guess at what colour my boy is?

He is passported as dun but does not has dorsel stripe etc

This is his winter coat, sort of a cream looking dun? Dark brown points on his legs


In spring he goes a strange colour with a brown type of roan over his body....


He then looses the brown going into summer and his dark points go a sort of iron grey...



He also has a very spotty nose!
 
On his passport he's down as dun skewbald...but that's only his summer colour and when he was younger as now older he doesn't fade to that colour so much in the summer. He's also been called tri-coloured though I know there is no official term for that. The woman that checks his back for me loves his autumn/winter rabbit fleck looking pelage. In the winter he goes a lovely dark mocha colour, and when clipped underneath is that gorgeous moleskin colour. His tail I love as (when clean) has black, brown, cream, red hairs in and a lot of white and one or two beautiful dreadlocks found deep within. I just love his shades and tones and changes of the seasons :)

Are either of his parents grey? He looks buckskin to me, but greying out. Either that or a buckskin with a wild bay base as his legs are not that dark.
