His mane grew straight up. About 5 hairs thick, blended black and grey, so we roached it and he looked neat as button with a dark black stripe down his neck. His tail was thin but not disrespectable. This explains why I can do a WEF quality tail in 15 minutes, and I never learned really good neck braids

I had an Appy cross that had a typical Appy tail, as in hardly any at all. He would flick flies with a hind leg, and could reach a surprising area that way. It was very disconcerting the first time I rode him. I would fly spray him and it would last for a short while, and then he would start flicking flies again. I gave serious thought to getting him a tail extension, but I didn’t end up keeping him long (very long story).

I’m inclined to think a shedding blue roan w/ dapples versus an App cross as those spots don’t look very defined and there are no other App features (striped hooves, white schlera, mottling, etc), and agree it looks gaited. Do Rocky Mountain horses come in blue roan? Or maybe be a QH x TWH cross.
