3 month old colt
This colt is out of a buckskin mare and a solid chestnut sire.

My camera batteries died, I will try to take a few more shots tomorrow.
I don't think his back legs are really as far foreward as they look in this picture.
His front pasterns look too straight to me, will they change as he gets older?

He's cute whatever he is. I'd vote Appy too.

Really that color tops about all I've seen over here! Please a pic of him in adult colouring to show how this ends up?[Will he get a bit darker?]

I think his body color will get more golden as he gets older.

...or he will varnish out and the blanket will not be visiable .. in the appy world it is called a varnish roan..
You have to do a search now on his full pedigree to see how far back the LP gene is ..
very intersting..

On the first day God created horses, on the second day he painted them with spots..
