Horse Colors Pt. 4 – Roan Colors

August 23, 2007 · The Equinest

Roan Shades

Roaning can affect any base color and creates a huge rainbow of amazing colors that range in variety from pink to blue. A foal may be born their base color and show the pattern upon first shedding, but the pattern remains consistent from year to year.
