New with colors, need help with these foals

Post by torbico »

Hi! I don't know much about horse colors at all, but I've been reading some guides on here and while I have good guesses for two of these foals, I'm still quite uncertain.

1 — https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/4067788
my guess is either buckskin or dunskin because of her parents

2 — https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/4067792
I believe she is dun of course but I don't know any specifics, if there are any

3 — https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/4069194
And this one... I have no idea. Is she chestnut? Bay? Is that roan? Looking at her parents doesn't help me either unfortunately

I would really appreciate some help with these :| :| :|

Alright I'm going to take a crack at this one!

Number 1: You are correct in your buckskin assumption! She also has at least one Tobiano gene as is evidenced by her white socks (currently all body white other than appaloosa markings is counted as Tobiano)

Number 2: Bay Dun with Lp which is that snowflake and blanket you are seeing, the mane and tail are also starting to varnish due to the Lp as well.

Number 3: Chestnut Dun with Tobiano sock and facial white. Dun sire (Brown Dun) and Palomino with Tobiano Dam.

Hope this helps!
