Colour of my stallion?
Hello!! I'm new and trying to learn more about identifying colour in horses using the guides posted but for whatever reason, this guy has me stumped? Any help is appreciated.

Re: Colour of my stallion?
He's a bay dun varnish roan with snowflakes. I've included the breakdown below to help you for your future color identification:
1. The body color is a shade of brown, with black points and a darker mane and tail --> shows he is bay.
2. The color is lightened on the body and you can see primitive markings such as the dorsal stripe and zebra markings on the legs --> shows he is dun
3. Shows appaloosa pattern (snowflakes) and lightening of the mane and tail shows the appaloosa gene roaning (called varnish roan) --> ...shows he is varnish roan with snowflakes.
Hopefully that helps!

This will definitely help me in the future for identifying more colours.
