What color is my baby??

[dwranch]

Hi! I've had horses for 26 years but this is my first baby! I bought this mare at the first of November.... March 12th @4:00pm, here's my baby! Dad is a paint, but I don't know the color pattern. These pics are at about 5 hours old. Just missed the delivery..Imagine that! His eyes looked dark blue, maybe green. His Sclera, weeny, little sac and hiney hole is chocolatey /pink. Whatcha think????

Would love to see the baby clearly...........but your pictures are really small. Wait a day or two and take some pictures outside in the light.

Here's some help with the pics, hope you don't mind:

He looks like a cute little redhead to me (Sorrel/chestnut)

Thank you so much!! It's my first time with pics!!!

Congratulations on your first mini foal!!

What color pinto(Paint's are a big horse breed, Pinto is a color breed) was the sire?? I'm not a color expert but he looks either sorrel/chestnut or if sire carries a dilute gene could be red dun. Love his blaze!

I agree, he looks sorrel.

Congrats on your first-ever mini foal!

Congratulations! What a beautiful little guy. IMO he looks Chesnut. His eyes will probably change to black eventually.

Congratulatons! He is a cutie! He is a chestnut or sorrel - that "dorsal stripe" is probably just countershadowing.

CONGRATS,

what a cutie.

i would guess sorrel

I have had an AQHA foal that color, pink around everything, as he got a few weeks older it started turning dark grey and he was a palomino...looked red dun when born...kind of like your guy!

I am NO expert on color... I just wanted to tell you that he is adorable

CONGRATS on your first baby and please keep us updated to his growing up and all the funny things he does!!

So cute!!!

With the blaze, kinda looks like my Sage did as a foal (she's a chestnut varnish appy... now she's very roaned out... can't really see her blaze anymore) I'd vote chestnut on yours, too. Here is Sage as a baby

He looks Chestnut to me. He sure is cute.

Congratulations on your new colt!

He is adorable

I also think he looks sorrel / chestnut.

In the past, a couple of my horses were born with navy blue eyes. That color usually turns very dark brown / black. It's the "ice blue" ones that stay blue

I say sorrel. But could be a red dun depending on his sire/dam.
