Thankyou

, thats what we thought at first, but parts of her are really light, on her legs chest and belly, So we think she may change color. But who knows, we will be happy if she stayes chestnut.

I would say definately chestnut! Chestnut babies do have lighter colored, almost white sometimes, hair on their lower portion of the body like what you see on her legs in these pictures. My chestnut colt looks the same way on his legs and belly, and especially light on his belly and there's no genetic possibility of him being buckskin or palomino. Congrats though, she's a cutie!

she had a chance of being palomino or buckskin, her dad produces mostly those colors, but i think your probably right, she will be chestnut. It still makes me wonder though, the pictures dont show it very well. Im not going to say 100 percent until she is older.
At first we were not going to register her, her dad is AQHA and not listed with APHA, but my mum is thinking of paying for the stallion to be listed and getting her papers. She would really like to show her when she is older.

our mare Saydy foaled on the 5th (june) , this is our second and last baby this year and we are really pleased with both of them.

Saydy had a filly, we were not really sure what color she was, her mum is a bay and dad is a bay roan sabino. When the vet came out he said he thought she would be a roan. here are the pictures Very Happy

Well, Shasta had her foal. Both filly and mother are doing great! I am not too sure what color it will be, so any input would be greatly appreciated. I know that this is just her foal coat, but the eye lashes are a deep champaigne color and her underskin beneath the body color is the same as the hair color. Her sire is a Grullo Kiger stallion and her dam is a hederozygous grey Arab mare. My avatar is of her great grandsire on her sire's side. The foal will be registered as a partial blood Kiger. Any suggestions on a name??? The sire is Shelby and her dam is Shasta.

cute. She looks like a sorrel to me. I can't see her back so I don't know if daddy gave her his dun gene. If you have any pictures of her eyes / face closer up someone will probably be able to tell you if she's going to grey.

I just took more pics of her and they should be ready to pick up from the store in about another 20 mins or so. Daddy is a Grullo and does carry one red gene, because the same stallion (Shelby) produced a red dun colt out of a red dun mare, but the dun gene in Mustangs can act differently and actually lighten things up.

Yes, she does have a dorsal stripe, ear barring, bi-colored mane and tail and the lighter color on the inside of the ears. I took some close ups of her head and eye lashes. Now, we know for a fact that the dam is hederozygous for grey. She has had 3 grey foals, one chestnut foal and a black foal. The black foal is 12 now and has not greyed out. The chestnut foal is 10 and has not shown any signs of greying out. The other three foals turned grey within the first 2 years. Okay, I'm off to pick up the pictures. I will post them tonight. I just want to say thanks to everyone who is helping me with my questions. It sure helps to learn things when we can all get together and share information.

Okay, I just got back from the photo lab and here are the pictures of her ear barring (inside and out) as well as her dorsal stripe.

Notice the ear barring inside and out. The left ear is facing backward and the right ear is facing forward.

Here is a picture of eye lashes. As you can see they are not white. I am really thinking red dun. Anyone else have any ideas????

Thankyou

, i think we must have posted at the same time Laughing

, mine is just above yours.

She is a TWH, born on the 5th, her sire is times showtime (he is in the database) and her dam is unregistered (we call her saydy).
Her parents are Bay, and bay roan sabino, so we were kinda suprised at her color and are not really sure what she will turn out to be. When the vet came to give mum her shots he said he thought we had a roan.
I thought she kinda looked like a red dun, but i didnt think that was possible?
here is a link to more pics
