What colour is the almost 2 year old filly?
I had this beautiful filly born a few days or so ago with a snowflake(?):
http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/728890
She was born a slightly lighter black and seems to getting a darker black on her face and legs. Would she be a Black Varnish Roan?
Also how can you truly tell the difference between sorrel and chestnut for this colt?:

He looks more like a chestnut with a red mane to me.

Re: What colour is the almost 2 year old filly?
Your filly looks to me like a smoky black with roan and appy patterning. (Black roan is now commonly called blue roan, but I don't know if that holds true for smoky black roan as well. ) Her foal coloring was too grey for an undiluted black, so I'm guessing she got her mother's cream.Seranna wrote:I had this beautiful filly born a few days or so ago with a snowflake(?):

The difference between sorrel and chestnut tends to differ from person to person, community to community, registry to registry, etc. For me, a sorrel is a chestnut with pangare/mealy (lighter areas on the muzzle, flanks, fetlocks) without consideration to the color of mane and tail. Some people consider flaxen chestnuts to be sorrels. To me (and this could be wrong since I'm looming on my phone) your boy looks like a chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. Edit: Looking again from my computer, he is just a regular chestnut. His tail is lightened because of his appy spotting.

Part of the reasons I was confused about sorrel and chestnut especially if you add flaxen manes into the mix is because of two of my first horses from the adoption center as they also seem like different variations of chestnut. A few minutes or so after I first joined I chose these two from the adoption center:
Dewdrop:

She has darker chestnut on her face, chestnut mane, roan? on her body and lighter areas on her belly and legs. Is Pangare and Mealy the same thing or is pangare not mealy?
Sally:

One could say that she has a flaxen mane, perhaps.

From my own perspective I would consider both of those mares sorrel because they display plangare (the lighter areas on muzzle, fetlocks, stomach, around the eyes). And yes, Dewdrop is a chestnut/sorrel roan (sometimes called strawberry roan), but the lightness on her legs is caused by the pangare, as Sally shows off very nicely. And Sally is what I think most people's "classic" definition of sorrel looks like - pangare with a flaxen mane and tail.
Looking again, Dewdrop actually seems to be very lightly flaxen as well. There appears to be variation in how light flaxen actually causes the mane to be. For reference, this is one of my girls, whose mane and tail are lighter even than Sally's:
