I think my little Cassie is part Chameleon.
She is making serious color changes. Not sure if she is going to go sorrel or not at this point. I cant wait to see as she continues to grow.
When Cassie was born she looks plain sorrel, Dad is a solid black, one white spot on his back hoof. His sire is Tobi, His dam a blue roan....( we think)
Cassies Dam is a bay roan, with 4 socks. No blaze.
I honestly expected a black or bay foal, with or with out roan. Yes possible chestnut, but still less of a chance.
She was born at day 314. Didnt see roan. Bright sorrel filly. I was told that true roan is evident at birth. Not hers....
So fast forward a month and I am seeing roaning in her new growth of her coat. mane and tail have started to turn black. I posted, and still believed she may be just turning a darker chestnut.
One thing that was strange to me was as her hair shed off around her eyes the new hair was very dark. with some white mixed in, the rest of her head was sorrel.
Well fast forward again and we clipped her. She is roaned all over her body. Including her face.And her mane and tail are black with some red and white hair in it. And after clipping she has a distinct counter shading line down her back. its also black. Body is still that golden sorrel. More of an apricot color.
I dont know what to think. I dont think its dun as she has no primitive markings. No leg barring. However her rump has a very dark cast of hairs mixed in with the sorrel.
Any way I am going to post pics. I would like to know what yall think.
Birth:
Dark hair around eyes:
And after clipping...Sorry not good pics will get better if needed, but this is about the correct color
Eyes still darker rest of face lighter...:
And her stripe: you can barely see the darker hairs on her rump and cant really see the roaning throughout...
