Foals born sorrel that turn palomino I would love to see photos

[Reijel's Mom]

I was so sure this filly was sorrel I registered her as such!

The first pic was taken at about 10 mins old. The second one is at about one week. The third was taken as a 3 year old.

That 10 minutes old picture is about the cutest lil' face I've ever seen!

Clear Brooks CK Hanky Panky was born sorrel, but shedded out his foal coat to palomino. As a foal he even had a red mane and tail, Now they are snow white.

But if he is a true palomino, he was not actually born a sorrel - he just looked like one and was really a palomino all along!

Another thing to consider - some light sorrels with very flaxen mane and tail are occasionally mis-IDed as palominos. A friend swore that her filly was a palomino (and she looked like one) - but from a chestnut and a black (no chance of smokey there - although the sire was buckskin the cream gene was not passed on) it was not possible. Sure enough, testing proved that the filly was indeed a sorrel!

Jill, I love Bliss' face!

But this pic...

thats not actually true , black horses can carry cream and red and it wouldnt be visable so it is possible that the stallion could have passed those genes on and produced a palomino even if in this case he didnt

I wasnt she if this one was pally as she was red when wet then went pale and is gradually going dark again , lol

Silver Bay?

Silver Bay?

I think so, too

Thankyou thats great !!!I did post her as silver bay (on face book) when she was born but so many people told me she is chestnut/sorrel I began to wonder especially then I clipped a little hair and thought they may be right , I guess silver bay expresses differently in big horses !

What color did she look where you clipped her? My silver bay mare looks very golden when in full coat, but silvery grey/white when clipped. [My sorrel mare just looks lighter red when clipped.]

There are so many shades of silver bay, especially in minis.

This mare is silver bay:



and, very winter woolie:



She's been color tested as EE,Aa, no cream (silver wasn't available when she was tested), and we think she is also dun.

this gelding is silver bay (probably silver bay varnish roan appy):



Sorry I don't have a decent picture that shows his coloring (he's been sick off and on since he was given to me, just found out he has Cushings in November, he's going great now, just needs to gain a little more weight).

Not sure if this picture shows his color better or not:

it is possible that the stallion could have passed those genes on and produced a palomino even if in this case he didnt

No, he couldn't - he did not get a dilute gene from his buckskin sire as per his DNA test. No chance of producing a palomino when he was bred to the sorrel mare who also did not have any dilute genes!

 

[supaspot]

I didnt clip all of her , just a bit of face , she looks red but the bridge of her nose has a silvery look to it , sorry I dont have a pic of that

I did actually say that black horses ( meaning black horses in general) can carry cream ..even if in this case he didnt

sorry maybe I didnt word it clearly enough

Looking at that clipped picture, now I'm leaning towards sorrel, based on the red undercoat (and how my silver bay clips compared to how my sorrel clips).
