What is this colour? *pic*

What is this colour:

The horse is Bay, apart from having a large white splash under the tummy, and the white on the forelegs goes higher up than the knees.

I'm sure there is a name for it but can't remember and couldn't find it on google. I'm sure this isn't a skewbald. Would the horse be eligible to do coloured showing classes?

Sabino by the looks of it. And I don't believe they are eligible for coloured classes.

My first thoughts were that the horse looks like it has the same colouring as that of a clydesdale, and so i guess you could call it a bay roan?

I just googled clydesdale colouring and on the wikipedia site it says that the colouring can be called bay roan, or also another term is sabino colouring.

Dont know if that helps?

Sabino I'd say too. Sometimes called blagdon when it goes right up their legs and onto their belly.

I too believe it is Blagdon

Blagdon

lol, was just about to say somewhere between a sabino and a blagdon, was erring more towards the blagdon, sabino tends to be a white patch but without the roaning effect.

i think to be classed as colored the horse has to have a patch of white that is bigger than 6 inches. please dont quote me on this. i would phone one of the colored societies and ask them directly. nice horse!

sabino,
shows all the pointers, jaggy edges to socks, belly splash (though excessive) and white chin

Is a blagdon not blue and white?

He looks sabino to me, but Enfys is the one who knows all about that

 

[MissMincePie&Brandy]

here's a slightly better angle to see the colouring

 

[DipseyDeb]

I'm confused..I thought Blagdon was more of a 'type' ie heavy cob...rather than a colour(?)

 

[xRobyn]

Roan is completely different to sabino, true roan is quite rare compared to sabino. Sabino is very common in horses with some cob/clyde/shire blood. Blagdon is apparently the same as Sabino, just the term used for Gypsy horses.

I thought there is something about the colour coming above the level of the stifle - i.e. if it is a patch on the belly only it doesn't count as coloured (like you see on some welshies which aren't allowed to be coloured - at least as far as I know ) - but I might have dreamt that!!!

Not sure about this one in the photo - you'd have to ask an officiado

It's dependant on the genes. Sabino (which is common in welsh cobs) is an entirely separate gene to tobiano/overo (which isn't present in welsh cobs). But sabino markings can be minimal (jagged socks) or extreme (belly splashes etc). The WPCS refuses to register any welsh a/b/c/d whose markings extend above the flank/stifle, despite the markings only being the result of an allowed gene
