    They said that Shiloh is sorrel. Red roan is a color, not a breed, right? I'm not that educated on horses, sorry. But, I did ask her color. And, they said sorrel, which I have heard of before...and, she's a quarter horse. As far as I could tell, Harvey was just really dark brown or black. But, I'll ask them again when I see them next week (hopefully!). He's a thoroughbred. And, trouble is a quarter horse.

    Yeah, those Shires are really big horses, I love how they lower their heads so that they can be haltered...if he put his head up, it'd be over 8 feet up!

    Ok, this is a learning experience for me. I went to the online dictionary and looked up sorrel. Shiloh's definitely that. Then, I looked up roan, and, it said chestnut, bay, or sorrel coat thickly sprinkled with white or grey. None of the horses had that...is that what you were meaning by roan? Like I said earlier, I don't know horses all that well, although I'd like to.

    Great pics. Great butts too....

    Shiloh looks like a red roan or a light dun. Or maybe just a chestnut...

    Red Roan:


    Dun:


    Light Chestnut:


    Colors can be very difficult to grasp.

    Thanks for the photos! She's definitely not a red roan, she has no white at all in her coat. Except for some on her feet (socks, maybe?). But, there's no white flecking through her coat at all. Of the three you posted, she's more chestnut...but, again, he called her sorrel, and, sorrel, according the the dictionary means "A brownish orange to light brown", so I guess chestnut and sorrel mean about the same thing.

    Lol, yep! I was just loading pictures of the different colors for you but then I see that you already got the pictures. lol

    This is what one of the girls that I show horses with horse looks like (red roan):


    And this is a Blue Roan:


    I'd have to say that Blue or Red roans are my favorite COLOR of horse. But dont ask me to chose between a Blue and a Red that would be almost impostible
