Something I've always wondered and never figured out....
What colour was she?! My 2nd pony, Marble, was the oddest colour.... we just called her something along the lines of a blue roan pinto/appaloosa ... thing!

She had a lot of appy traits, very clear patches, and was roan!

Any ideas? Not even got a clue what breed she was, she was an amazing jumper though!

Piccies... (eep, apologies for their hugeness... I still fail at this...)

IMO appaloosa isn't a colour, it's a breed so she wouldn't be appy colour. She does however look to have a appy head, so maybe she did have some appaloosa breed in her.
In terms of colour i have no idea, she looks like a roan piebald but I don't know if there is such a thing.
She looked like a sweety.
 
I think I would have said roan piebald, but you can see she must have got some Appaloosa from somewhere as it's around her eyes and muzzle.

She look very sweet. Do you still have her?
 
Did you have her into old age?

I bought a 2 yr old skewbald pony who changed colour rapidly. I was out at a jumping comp when a woman from The Spotted Horse and Pony Society came over to ask about him. Apparently, he was classed as an Appiano. This meant he had roan patches that had definite spots on those patches.

Not a great picture, this'd be when he was about 15. As I said, he was a 'proper' skewbald up to about 4 years old, so he didn't roan out due to old age.

Covers all eventualities doesn't it?

Like Pinto, Pintaloosa is used as a broad colour description and there are Registeries for them, size doesn't seem to come into the equation. A mini can be a pintaloosa and so can any other horse as far as I can make out.

I know, confusing creature she was xD

Unfortunately we don't have her now

We had to sell her as we couldn't afford to keep her and my other pony at the time, and she was more likely to get a good home (my 1st pony was a little bugger, still have him actually as nobody would want him!) Highly doubt she's still around now but she was doing well back then so who knows?!

I thought that this would be classed as a skewbald

although it seems very odd to think of her as that.

It's probably just me that thinks that pony could be skewbald, I was thinking that because pony is sort of roan and white, skewbald is white and any other colour except for black. Probably wrong though

No, you are right, either a skewbald or "odd coloured" I think is what the old PC Manual would say, times have changed haven't they?
 
Your pony is gorgeous OP, very unusual!

This is our "curious" coloured one.
The vet said he didn't know what colour to put on her passport but I think she is a roan skewbald. She goes almost white at times (apart from her gorgeous black knees!) and other times her coloured bits are much more distinct.

she has got the spotted skin of a spotted horse around her eyes and nose (i prefer the term spotted to describe pattern rather than appaloosa because appaloosa is a breed rather than a colour and not all spotted horses or ponies are appaloosas or have appaloosa in their breeding). she is certainly black and overo also so is piebald. so I guess that makes her a spotted piebald. both piebalds and spotted horse can have roaning on their coloured parts but as she looks quite solid coloured in places i would guess the roaning is due to the spotting/overo rather than her also being roan.
