My arab of that colour i called him rose grey,(he was grey carrying chestnut gene) but he still finished up snow white as an old horse. 🫩

Grey.

No way to tell his ‘original’ colour at this stage unless you have foal pics?

always thought he was some kind of roan do you not think ?

 

[FieldOrnaments]

Buckskin going grey

Can only be roan if a roan parent

 

[Cloball]

Roans are typically darker to almost solid coloured on the face and lower legs with inverted v shapes above the knees. Also he would be a chestnut/strawberry/red roan seeing as he was born that colour.

He’s a pretty typical grey!

 

[Btomkins]

Bay or chestnut going grey from the foal pic.

No roan sorry - a true roan will keep a darker face, tail and legs (points).

Grey will develop a grey face and tail as classic signs, before ending up entirely white or fleabitten over time.

Very pretty pony - just hope you like bathing

He's grey, not roan sorry! Roans have dark heads and legs.
