Bay roan (sometimes called "red roan") A "blue roan", roaning over a black base coat Red roan, roaning over chestnut, sometimes called "strawberry roan" Roan is a horse coat color pattern characterized by an even mixture of colored and white hairs on the body, while the head and "points"—lower legs, mane, and tail—are mostly solid-colored.
A blue roan has mixed-color hairs, a blue dun will usually be a solid color and have dun striping. Rabicano: A roan-style effect that is caused by a yet-to-be-mapped genetic modifier that creates a mealy, splotchy, or roaning pattern on only part of the body, usually limited to the underside, flanks, legs, tail and head areas. Unlike a true ...
Genetically, the horse has an underlying chestnut coat color, acted upon by the dun gene. Thus, as there is no black on the horse to be affected, the undiluted underlying color is red. [6] [7] Grullo or grulla, also called blue dun or mouse dun, is a smoky, blue-gray to mouse-brown color and can vary from light to dark. They consistently have ...
Though the Spanish word for "crane" is always "grulla" regardless of gender, [6] some people call male horses "grullo" and female horses "grulla", [2] including in Spanish. [7] Grulla is also called mouse dun or blue dun. [2] In the Norwegian Fjord horse, the coat is called grå (meaning "gray"). [8]
A small band of Nokota horses, showing several common colors of the breed. The Nokota horse has an angular frame with prominent withers, a sloped croup, and a low set tail. Members of the breed are often blue roan, although black and gray are also common. Less common colors include red roan, bay, chestnut, dun, grullo and palomino.
Bay Roan is true roan on a bay coat. The particular shade depends on the underlying shade of bay; but the mane, tail, and lower legs are black, and the reddish body is intermingled with white hairs. The head is usually red. Formerly, bay roans were lumped together with chestnut roans and both called "red roans." Blue Roan is true roan on a ...
Champagne is a dominant trait, based on a mutation in the SLC36A1 gene. [1] A horse with either one or two champagne genes will show the effects of the gene equally. However, if a horse is homozygous for a dominant gene, it will always pass the gene on to all of its offspring, while if the horse is heterozygous for the gene, the offspring will not always inherit the color.
The Tovero (also known as Tobero) [1] coloration is a mix of tobiano and overo colorations in Pinto horses and American Paint Horses. The genetics of pinto coloration are not always fully understood, and some horses have a combination of patterns that does not fit cleanly in either category. A tovero horse with blue eyes and "Medicine hat ...
