This is a pic of my 10 month old filly (on the right)... Please excuse the yearling UGLIES!!! I'll post some close ups of her ankles when I get home but her legs aren't turning black like I would think they should be. She also has some random white hairs in her coat and mane and tail. Any chance she's going to go grey?? Her sire is Triple Twist (a bay) and dam is Marcy's Hope (a bay).
Also if she isn't going to grey or something weird like that, are her legs eventually going to turn black??

Thanks so much!

Not in this lifetime...lol. She looks just plain bay with maybe Rabicano thrown in (reason for white hairs) Kinda hard to tell with that pic. She may be a wild bay http://ultimatehorsesite.com/colors/bay.html

I too think she is bay but I do see what you mean about the minimal Black points. Are her hind legs the same?

Nootka, did you see the picture of the filly on that site. I do hope it is a distorted photo, if not she is built like a Pushmi-pullyu :lol:

She may be a wild bay, but you really won't know for sure until she's at least 2. It can sometimes take that long for the full black to come in.

She definitely will not go grey. It is a dominant gene and a grey horse must have at least one grey parent.

The previous posters sre correct. She will not grey- She is a wild-type bay. They don't have the full bay stockings we're used to seeing in bays, but smaller black socks running below/ slightly above the fetlock and unevenly up the cannon leaving red areas on the lower legs. There is also a higher incedence of modified dorsal striping (very light or broken). It is a farily rare form of bay and I think very attractive. Congratulations
