APHA papers come with a photo, usually a baby picture, at 2 - 3 months old.

No. Markings don't change. However, is this a
chestnut mare? Sometimes chestnut foals are born with
what I call "flaxen feet" which can mimic white
markings for a few days. In fact, bays are also born
with silver-toned legs, so that could also account for
it (depending, of course, on how clear this photo is).

How'd an auction horse come with a photo? Is this a
photo on her papers? (Do APHA papers have a photo on
them?)
