If you had asked me 2 days ago what color my filly Arya would end up I’d say 100% without a doubt BLACK! Her dam and sire are both black. Arya’s dam, Winnie, developed some white hairs on her barrel while pregnant but I figured that was similar to our stretch marks! Or, I thought, she may be roaning out as her dam was a black roan. Since then Winnie hasn’t had any additional white show up!
Now back to Arya She was born black, and had almost a pewter hue to her. I haven’t seen any white eyelashes and then yesterday she wanted her tail scratched and I noticed grey hairs in it. Which now has me questioning will she grey out?! She’s 4 months right now.
Also worth mentioning, she got a cut on her leg and the hair grew in white! Not sure if it’s just a coincidence as that could happen with an adult horse of any color too
Any guesses or thoughts from the color experts out there?!
