I was givin a horse, the man said she is a red roan. With her winter coat she is all red but he said when she loses her winter coat she is red and white. Is that normal? I didn't know a coat could be one color but then when it falls out it's another color. If you pet her backwards by her skin it is white but that just seems wierd to me
We have both a blue roan and a red roan. Each looks solid colored in the winter and then their bodies shed out lighter in the spring. In the pasture right now, it looks like we have a black and a sorrel.
I have an overo paint that roans out in the summer, but right now her non white parts just look solid. Assuming the guy wasn't lying to you for some reason, you should definitely have a roan! It kinda cool that her color will be a surprise when she sheds out
Here's Fancy in the winter and in the summer. You can't see the roan hairs well in the summer, but you can tell she is much lighter and up close she is very roaned!
I love the pictures! You all have beautiful horses! I can't wait to see what mine will look like. It's on her papers she is a red roan. I wish I can post pics on here but I have to do everything over my phone so it's harder to post.
Harley is a red roan too. He REALLY changes from winter to summer. And I just noticed yesterday that his coal black mane has all of a sudden started getting white hairs in it. So it is going to be really interesting to see what he looks like this spring. Roans are the best cause each spring it is a big suprise as to what color they will be This year. LOL Here is a pic of him this past summer and one taken about three days ago.
Yep he's a bay roan. Mane and tail are black...if he was a red roan he'd have a red mane/tail as you would find on a chestnut (since that's the base of a red roan).
i have a Silver Bay Roan that changes every year..he's never been the same twice this is him throughout the year, yes he's a mini so he's been clipped...i only clip him once a year cuz he ends up that ugly grey color
Harley is a BEAUTIFUL horse, I love the summer coat color!!! Posted via Mobile Device
