Silver Bays - If you have one...can you share a clipped photo?

[DreamStoneRanch]

My youngest weaningling, Missy, is what we're calling a silver bay. I don't know if it's the fact that it's winter or what, but I'm spending inordinate amounts of time wondering what she might look like when all that weanling/winter wooly fuzz is gone. When I part her hair, the hair from the skin and up about 1/2" is solid gray. Her mane becomes more silvery every day, while her tail remains a mix of flaxen and red bay(?). And her face is getting darker all the time.
This is a photo from October:

She's also the one in my avatar.

So, if you have someone in your herd with similar colors...or started out with similar coloring, would you post a clipped or summer photo?

Thanks!

I believe my gelding Dash is also consider a Silver Bay. I like the star I clipped on his hip.

You all have some nice silver bays.

I would like one

Yes, many Silver bays have striped hooves. Some have more striping that others. Edda isn't a mini but she does have the rather uneven stripped hooves, all my past ones,, were pretty even between blk and white.

I don't have summer photos of her yet...as she is only 8 months old.

Hooves..

Even silver bays seem to come in a lot of shades! Our old stallion Streaker has a body color that's almost as rich as a blood bay, but with a flaxen mane and tail, and then I've got a two year old filly on the other end of the spectrum that's so pale she almost looks palomino. They even clip out a little differently - some of mine clip out looking silver black while others look almost buff. Here are three of our silver bay foals before and after clipping.

First is Rock Rivers Carolus Magus. First as a foal, then after first clip, then again the following year shedding out naturally.

Now here's Charlie's maternal sister, Rock Rivers Lola Vavoom. She definitely clips off with a buff undertone.

And finally one of our 2009 fillies, Rock Rivers Aerodynamic. In the first picture she's only a day old. She's another one that has a buff hue when clipped. You can also see her partially clipped in my avatar for comparison.

My mare HAD striped hooves but now they are solid black. she is 6 now. and when she was bred to a sorrel pinot she had a silver bay filly that at age 3 has turned almost black. will my mare get darker?

Wow, she is gorgeous!

I love the one blue eye and one brown eye, and the white stripe with the dark legs is very unique and lovely.

There are some very pretty horses in here, but I can't pass up the chance to post a picture of my "baby".

All these pictures are of the same horse, and all shaven except maybe one in a summer coat... His summer coat is so short you barely touch it with a #10 blade though. We had people ask us if we even shaved him at a show...

Carlene: I'm really starting to think our Missy is going to end up looking like your girl when she's clipped.

I have *loved, loved, loved* seeing *everyone's* photos. What an amazing collection of beautiful horses. If our girl comes out looking half as good as some of yours, I will be thrilled beyond all measurement!
