I have an appy/quarter horse mix. He was born black with white spots on his rump. Then as a yearling dark Gray coat and black mane and tail with white spots on his rump.now at 5 years Old he is pure white with white mane and tails and his spots on his rump are black. I jus
t bought him in January and I have seen this coat but would love to knowwhat it is called?? And now that my wooly mammoth is shedding his coat is so thin. Is this normal and how do I care for the thin coat?heis pink underneath. He was a World halter horse and I am attempting to retrain him for low level hunter jumper.

New to Appy,
I got a Friesian/Lepoard Appy cross as a 3 year old. she had black mane & tail loosa muzzle and girl parts mottled sclera. black bay coat with white few stripped hooves. first year shed tail turned ratty, lost all mane, has kept a black forelock. turned bay with very lite bay almost palomino under hairs light frosting on butt. but had large a few large white spots, mane came in very very sparse and white. This year 2010. tail back, with white and combo black bay hairs. No mane, lost most of spots. very light bay hairs in coat with black points,Very weird.
She is now 6. anyone have any ideas of where this color pattern might be heading?
Thanks in advance,
Gee

In reply to Spot Me Happy.

ooooh forgot to add Appys love having random coloured spots. My friends Palomino has a couple of deep brown spots and I’ve seen bays with one or multiple black spots. There may be no grey appys, but theres lots of grey areas lol because the Appy colours and black and white….. Heres a whole heap in between…..

Hi my mare has all the appy charicteristics except rat tail. she is gray or maybe roan (she has dark skin) she could even be ‘frosted’. She has these little penny sized red spotts about every foot or two on the front half of her body some are in groups others are individual. Could someone please tell me what pattern she has? Her Sire was a Quarter horse her dam was a Appy/Arabian. Thanks!

In reply to Cyndi Wilburn. I was reading that you wanted to know what your horse pattern was. The pattern is called blood marks or bloody shoulder. It is a rare unexplained color and you are lucky to have a horse like that.
