 Worst.Housekeeper.EVER.
   
Location: Missouri | I thought she was when she was born, but her legs are getting lighter. She can only be bay or brown. She's shedding at her ear tips and muzzle, and some in her flanks. All of the new hair looks black. What do you think? (Can you tell it's my first experience with this  )

| I'd say she's bay! Usually that lighter hair on the legs is still black at the skin and she'll look more "normal" when she gets to that.. lol |

| According to the last 2 photos with reddish mane and tail and no black leg markings at all ... you have you a red ..chestnut sorrel ...
Red horses win more frequently than any other color .... so be happy ..

Location: Memphis, TN | I have a friend who's filly went through weird color transitions almost identical to yours. She was out of a sorrel by a bay and she is as black as can be now. She never had black legs until she shed off her entire foal coat. |

Location: Kansas | I think black, bay, brown, dark buckskin hard the hardest colors to guess. We have a foal by a palomino out of a black mare that was born black. Now it is lighter with black points. I have no clue if she will be black, brown, bay or buckskin! One year we had a colt born with perfect dun markings down to the stripe down his back and tiger strips on his legs. I knew he couldn't be dun because his mother was brown and sire was black. He finally ended up black. |

| I have a bay gelding that was originally registered as sorrel by the time he was 2 he had changed so much we had to do a registration correction. Sometimes when they are so young it's next to impossible to tell how they are going to end up. Right now this filly looks sorrel to me. |

She'll be bay or brown. She is not sorrel or chestnut, period. The people who point out that is what black legs look like on a baby are correct. See the black tips on her ears? Sorrels don't have that.
My youth horse actually had a black mane and tail and ear tips but kept those odd silvery legs but I've never seen another one do that . . . and he was an Appy.
I'd guess she's going to be about the same color as her dam but that is harder to predict before they shed off as yearlings. |

Location: Missouri | Here she is today! Thought maybe some would be interested to see through the crazy baby fuzz. Looks like she decided to stay bay after all!
