Leia, my husband and I were actually dumbfounded by his color for the longest time. For the first 5 years we had him, I just thought he was a silver buckskin roan. Finally, 3 years ago, I sent off a hair sample to get him tested.What color is he anyway? An odd shade of silver bay? Some sort of dun? Silver+dun?

Now I'm pretty decent with color genetics but have to admit I haven't read the actual test results very often. What exactly does "ee aA nn" indicate? Negative for silver and...?Little Hooves said:Leia, my husband and I were actually dumbfounded by his color for the longest time.

We concluded his color is Sooty Palomino Roan. This time of year you can't really see the roan, though. I don't think he carries dun, but I never tested him. He does have faint zebra stripes on his legs, but I think this is from the "sooty factor."

I was thinking sooty palomino but what threw me was how much darker his lower legs were than the rest of him. It seemed odd! That's why I was thinking maybe some sort of red dun with a silver dilution. He's definitely not a silver buckskin anything, roan or not. Do I take it in the summer his head and legs stay dark while the body goes lighter?
