Color help on a colt

[carlenehorse]

I am posting this for my friend she wants to know what color to put on his registration. Sire is a Silver dapple pinto and Dam is a bay.

Here he is playing with his mom.

His Sire's picture his registration papers says silver dapple pinto.

Any help please.

Thanks Carlene

Here is a picture of their colt from 2007

Well....the "color" is Chesnut (or Sorrel, if you prefer).

The pinto "pattern" is Tobiano with either Splash or Sabino. The chin white is indicative of the Sabino gene. Sabino also puts the even "normal" looking facial white markings, more so than Splash. Horses with Splash usually have wild, off center facial white markings & blue eyes.

I also say sorrel pinto. Could be hiding silver, but he "looks" sorrel.

He looks like a sorrel pinto to me too but I agree that he could be hiding silver.

He is sorrel / chestnut (interchangable). He may well carry silver but on his color, you won't see it. Silver is not visible on red based horses even if they carry it.

Yep. Red base Pinto.

sorrel pinto gals, no doubt.

Chestnut/sorrel pinto! I agree that the pinto coloring is probably tobiano + sabino. He just HAS to have silver hidden in there, I would guess. Whatever he is, he is certainly a beautiful boy!
