Can someone HELP me with her colour?

Post by Pieta »

Hi!
I just look around my farm and find that beauty. Can someone tell me how her colour is called (I know that she is fleabitten grey but how is called the colour under grey? She has dark eyes and freckles on muzzle and I think she has freckles around the eyes too but I'm not sure, I have never seen horse like her before).

Thank you ;) I'm really courious what is behind that colour (is she black or chestnut base and things like that ...). If you can explain me more about that colour I will be very glad, but if you won't will also be ok.

I think it's a chestnut base? I've only just beginning to understand the more "complicated" colors. BlackOak2 and/or Silverine will be able to answer the more in depth questions

The gold is on a chestnut base. If you take notice that there's no difference in the color along the belly or on the lower legs, you can easily rule out the agouti's (bay, brown). So that leaves just the two solid base colors. She's also an easy one because she doesn't appear to be affected by other genes (dun, pangare, etc).

Champagne creates the freckles and the blue eyes that turn brown as a yearling. :mrgreen:
