-edit- Her mane and tail arent black though are they? Because then she would be a bay . See, this horse stuff is complicated
Well, it wasn't so much about me being right...it was more about me making sure i understood what the crap a roan was. ha ha. But, no her mane and tail are basically the same light reddish/brown as her coat. I called her a bay when I first saw her and he said she was actually more of a sorrel. I think chestnut and sorrel can basically be just about the same thing, right? And, yeah, one thing I did know...was how complicated the color thing is.
