My Starlight is a sorrel. She is a 12 yo. mare with a diamond blaze.
My horse is a sorrel. She is a 2 year old Appendix (mix between Quarter horse an thoroubred) filly!!!
I have a black T-bred mare who carries the traits of having the Pangare gene, i beleive she inherited this from her dam as her sire shows no traits. through looking into this i have found that when a bay carries this trait it does not affect the legs/points. i thought this might be useful for you if anyone asks why their bay doesnt show the trait, it is because the Agouti gene (the one that gives Bay) is dominant over this dilution
