RE: [SPAM] [RC] Horse Color - heidiA friend recently bought a breed stock paint mare at the auction. Nice, really nice horse. Trail bomb proof. The question is that the picture as a foal shows FOUR WHITE SOCKS. The mare only has two. Can foals be born with socks and then change to solid ? The blaze on the mare's head is exactly the same as the foal picture. True white markings do not go away over time. That said, however, many foals have buff-colored hair on the solid-colored legs that can appear white. Is there a definite line of demarkation on the two white "socks" that are not there anymore? If not, I would suspect that they were not socks at all, but rather were the buff-colored baby coat that is normal on legs. Sometimes that buff color can drive you nuts trying to draw white markings on foals' legs...
