I finally got to try out my new clippers. I have never clipped a horse or anything before. Millie at first did not like the water hose. She will learn though. She did amazingly well for the clip I thought. She would not let me do her face/head by the time I got to it. Oh well, it wasn't the hottest part on her. She still has some silver in her mane and tail. She also has some black roan like looking areas on her hip and part of her back. What color would you call her. Some have said max expression sabino, but what about the silver??? I am new at miniatures and colors sorda too. I have included some before and after pictures. Thanks for looking.

Millie on the day she was born March 27th

Cute filly and your daugthter is adoreable, they make a very cute pair. Its hard to see and it would help if you knew the colour of sire and dam. Just from a quick look she looks a bit like double dilute of some sort to me.
 
Very nice. Echo the double dilute.. are her eyes blue?
 
Her dam is in the picture at the top with her. Her dam's sire is a black and white pinto. Millie's sire is a silver bay. Millie's dam is ???? Look at the above picture. She has more black hairs than millie does but does not seem to have the pink skin that Millie does??? Millie does not have blue eyes that I can tell. If they are they are fairly dark right now. I haven't really been able to tell what color her eyes are. Her dam's mother is more white than either Millie or Chloe(Millie's dam). Hope this helps. Thanks
 
I think she's a Max White Sabino. They are usually born totally white....or with some sprinkling of color on their topside (or top of neck & head)...that quickly roans out to white. She looks like she had that kind of coloring in her foal fuzzies, before you clipped her. Sabinos have dark eyes. My Max White Sabino mare has very dark eyes. Frame & Splash can cause blue eyes. If you discover that your filly does, indeed, have blue eyes....she could also be carrying Frame or Splash. I can't see really well....but she appears to have some "freckling" around her muzzle area, which is a characteristic of Sabino as well.
