Strange Colour? Please help!
I recently had a colt and i have absolutely no clue what color he is. He doesn't quite fit any of the colors, like his mane is a different color, or his coat is a shade off. Here he is
Re: Strange Colour? Please help!
Not sure what horse you mean, linking the horse's page or using the BBCode at the top of the page helps.
I had a look and you have two young colts; Itani and Ukyio. Both of these are grullo (black dun), like their sire. It's possible they may also carry one cream gene, particularly Itani. It doesn't show on black as adults, but the sire definitely has it, as would Itani's dam.
Also, a foals coat takes about a year to mature, which is why coats may seem lighter than you'd expect. Itani's lightish mane make me suspect he's picked up one cream from either parent, but it will darken to black by about 1 year.
