What color do you think this little filly is? I'm guessing she'll look like her mother (shown in video), but I'm not really sure what to call it... Not buckskin, not dun (no dorsel stripe)...
LINK TO VIDEO:
Currently calling her a silver bay ('cause she has everything a bay does, except she's silvery gray, not reddish-brown).
:? Well, sorry. I'm just saying that I'm calling her color silver bay (there are different types of bay, you know - blood bay, cherry bay, standard bay, sandy bay, sooty bay, mahogany bay...) because of her grayish coat.
Silver bay is not the correct term for her color though. Calling her a silver is misrepresenting her.
The greyish hue is more then likely due to her foal coat. Blacks and sometimes bays, tend to be born more mousy in color, which is what this filly looks like.
Oh just as a side note. When you speak of the 'silver' colour in her coat, do you mean the shine on it? Is she really shiny and it has an almost silver colour to it?
I see bay with a mousy foal coat that will shed out. That's where the "silver" you're seeing is coming from. Actual silver bays look more like flaxen chestnuts like Quixotic posted.
Allbreed is down for maintenance or else I would look up her parents for their colours. Well, more her sire. Her dam is in the video, obviously.
Do you have any pictures? That would be easier in determining a colour. The videos are somewhat difficult to tell for sure.
and the silver bays can look as light (basically flaxen sorrel in appearance) as my little guy as well, or darker in color that they are just a brighter red color of bay with chocolate points.
Guys I think the OP was not referring to silver the genetic colour. Have a look at a shiny bay horse, the light that reflects off is silver. I think she is seeing a really shiny bay, and wondering if that is normal.
^^^ That's kind of what I was guessing, but I was more pointing out that calling her a silver bay would be incorrect. I think she's just got a mousy foal coat, as many do and that she's just a bay.
she is most likely a bay but right now her coat looks grullo
