Carter (formally called, Dirt) was a rescue that I got on July 9,2011 He is such a sweet boy, but is very nervous. Anyways, I am wondering what color he is. He is a Friesian/Standardbred gelding and stands 17.1hh at 5 years old. =) Any info on him would be fantastic!
Thanks! He looks like he is greying out from being a bay. He has a half white tail which is very strange. He is dappled and people have called him a silver taffy, but he only has a white tail and not mane. Then, he was called a Gulastra Plume, but not all of his tail is white. So now I am asking again haha
Thanks =) He has a brown base coat and a black mane though...he is half friesian as well. It just doesnt seem like he will go grey though. Who knows though right.
Oh, he will. I can almost guarantee it :wink:. Here in the next couple of years, he'll likely be a gorgeous dark dapple gray. Do you know what color his standardbred parent was?
Not a clue. He was a rescue. I just noticed that in the pic of him in the surcingle, he is walking like a Standardbred...strange lol. He trots with the normal horse gait though. I hope he turns into a stunning dapple grey because those are my favorite =) Hehe.
Grey grey grey, no doubt about it. Just like my rose grey, nobody could freaking figure her out! First pic is weanling year, then yearling, so on so forth.
We had a Saddlebred mare who looked just like a Bay. When she got a little bit older she started dappling out. It was weird because she was the color of a Bay but had light faded dapples coming through. We sadly sold her, but since then she has become a Grey
The tail is a trait of a Grey. Greys are born black, but as they age, they get lighter and lighter.
Personally I like when they're young. They have grey and still some black but some even look blue.
Shoot, my guy was a buckskin before he grayed out.
