Subject: Re: [RC] [RC] Can anyone tell me
the color of my horse?
That is certainly original! He does look like a dark grullo color, but
without the primitive dark markings (dorsal stripe, darker face) I guess that
disqualifies him!
*Yep, definitely not a grulla.....a
grulla can be varying shades from almost dun to mouse colored, to almost
blue to chocolate..but will always have a darker face and points. The ears
will also be light cream inside ringed with black. My mare has all the
primitive markings of the zebra stripes on the legs, harness mark on the
shoulders, ringed ears, black face, dorsal stripe, etc.
Your horse is a livery type of chesnut, with the
appy coloration; which will change every year! Very fun to see the white
coming in.
Grulla's also change color during the year;
generally being more dun in the winter, darker when the spring and fall coats
come in, and fading some in the summer from the
sun
