Varnish roan?

[Marsha Cassada]

Is my boy a varnish roan? He was solid brown when he was born.

Here is my mini Cheyenne. It is from a continuous drive from our driving club last year. People think he is a pintoloosa, but sire is a minimal spot appaloosa and mom was a very loud gray appy!

Yes! You're boy looks to be spotted blanket plus varnish roan!

I agree, a varnish roan with spots over his rear.

Sage roaned VERY quickly. I got her as a 2 y/o, already very roaned, but I have baby pics and growing up.

Do people show varnish roans in a color class? Varnish is a new term to me and I'd like to know more about it.

Varnish roans are appy, so they would go in multi color, and would likely not do well against the flashy pintos and spotted appies.

I agree with Jess, not a big color candidate. Big blankets with spots, leopards and patterns like that tend to do well in color classes.
