A couple of months ago we brought a pinto Mare in foal to a Cliydesdale Stallion we seen photos of him and im thinking there no way he Cliydesdale what do u think he is

 

[caleybooth]

I'm not 100% sure but I do think that clydsdales do come in that roan color. They aren't as popular as the Budweiser colored ones. I'm not a clydsdale expert or anything though! I'm sure there are some on this forum that can help!

 

[ichliebepferde]

Wow! good luck keeping that hair brushed

According to the American Clysdesdale Registry:

The most common body color is bay, followed by black, brown, and chestnut. The roan trait (solid body color with white hairs throughout the coat) may be found in all the colors.

So he might be!

I have a clydesdale and he has the same build and nose, wish I could
see his whole face! I think I'm thrown off a bit because his tail isn't
docked like mine... maybe it is just can't tell. You can see the trademark blaze
and pink nose...
I've never seen one this color, is he a percheron/Clyde mix? I have seen
roany ones but not to this extent.
This guy is such a beauty, too bad he isn't taken care of! Stormy
gets those mats in his mane if I don't take care.
Gonna be a BIG BABY!! Make sure you have help ready when it comes!

Looks kind of like a shire sort to me but could very well be a Clydesdale. Hard to tell from that pic alone as he could looke more Clyde-like when he's cleaned up. VERY handsome though!

 

[Calmwaters]

I agree he is very pretty but really needs his mane brushed out I bet he would be stunning if he was cleaned up.

 

[DraftyAiresMum]

I'm not sure. He doesn't look roan to me, he looks almost dappled gray. The brown you're seeing is most likely mud. I would almost agree with FlyGap that he looks like a Percheron/Clydsedale cross. In my opinion, he doesn't have enough feathering to be a pure Clydsedale and his build is a little off for a Clydse.

 

[FeatheredFeet]

He might be a Clyesdale. Looks well enough, even though filthy. He certainly has enough feather to be one. I hate to think what might be under all that feather. (Thinking CPL)

Body type looks very Clydesdale to me.

 

[LetAGrlShowU]

This is the closest I could find doing aquick Google search Google Images
But my thought is he is very dirty with mud. Who knows what he looks like groomed

 

[xxBarry Godden]

In the Uk there is a lot of affection for Clydies.

That's a horse Mam, that's a big fella.

Don't try to boss him about, persuade him that it is a good thing to do.
Watch out for where he is putting his feet
And if there is a need to restrain him, then make sure you use something thick and strong.

Above all, enjoy him, there are not that many like him.


PS He doesn't do barrel racing.

 

[EthanQ]

well i do know that percherons come in roan, and boy does that horse need a grooming hahaa love that mane

 

[FeatheredFeet]

I don't think the horse in the pic, is the one the OP purchased Barry. It is a pic of the supposed Clydesdale the mare is in foal to.

Maybe I'm just used to seeing the American versions of the Clydes, but he looks a little bit short and squatty to be pure Clyde. The ones that I'm used to seeing are more tall and leggy.

That being said, he dang sure could still be pure clyde, just out of a working bloodline instead of a show bloodline. Is he supposed to be registered?

 

[BillyRox]

Thanks for all your help like i said we brough her in foal so we had nothing to do with the dad the photos is all we really know about him and he was ment to be a grey cliydstale the mare has had a foal from him before it turn out black 17hh
here it 2 more pics of stallion and pic of mare.

Pearl MARE IN FOAL

 

[FeatheredFeet]

Yuck. Too bad they've got him fenced with barbed wire and I see he already has had injuries. I'll bet he's Sabino/splash, rather than grey. Nice fellow. I wish he had better care.

Certainly the old type Shires and Clydes in the UK, are more bulky than the very tall and lanky ones mostly seen in the US.

She looks like a cutie. I sure do hope you'll keep us updated on her and share some pix of the baby when it arrives. We always enjoy a chance to ooh and aah over a baby horse :wink:.

 

[BillyRox]

Ok thankyou The mare is due in this week and we have keep a very close eye on her and wont be supprised if she has the foal today so there may be some photos very soon
