Super unimportant topic, but boredom and curiosity have won out.
I have a young Hanoverian mare that was born chestnut and is greying out. I haven’t seen foal pictures of her, so I don’t know what her markings looked like when she was born. She has two fully dark legs, a right hind with a distinct sock with pink skin and a light colored hoof and dark leg above, and her right front appears to have a sock, it is the shape of a sock with defined edges and dark hair above but it is slightly more “grey” than white, the skin appears to be completely dark everywhere underneath it (haven’t clipped her legs and she is still shedding out but when wet the skin doesn’t appear pink anywhere) and a dark hoof.
Any ideas what’s going on here? Is there some kind of greying pattern that would work this way? It is just so distinctly “sock” shaped! Could there be enough pink skin hiding under the hair somehow to explain it? It just definitely isn’t white white like her other sock. Posting pictures here never seems to work for me but if it is helpful I can try and share something.
