COLOR</B></div> <div> The gray color factor can be superimposed over any basic body color. Therefore, not all gray horses will have a blue cast; some will have a tendency to be red, while others will have a tendency to look yellow. The common characteristics of gray horses are white hairs scattered over the head and body (often more prominent on the head in young horses). Each gray horse will vary in color throughout his lifetime, growing lighter with age. A horse may be dark brown or dark red at birth and have only a few white hairs on his head. With age, he will become a medium gray and finally a light gray which may appear to be white in an aged horse.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT>Read our  past newsletter article Are your Dreams in color?</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <B>Black</B></div> <div> Body color black including at the muzzle, eyes, flanks, inside upper legs; mane and tail black.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Bay</B></div> <div> Body color can range from tan, through red, to reddish brown; mane and tail black; lower legs usually black.  </div> <bR> <div> <B>Chestnut </B></div> <div> Body color reddish, or copper-red to dark red, or brownish-red; mane and tail usually same color as the body, but may be flaxen or darker.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Roans: </B>Although similar in appearance, should not be confused with horses that are turning grey.

Genetics have shown, however, that a throw back occurs only between those characteristics which are recessive. Therefore, a gray horse cannot be a throw back. Gray is a dominant characteristic, consequently a gray horse must have at least one gray parent. Another dominant characteristic is the black mane and tail along with black legs. Consequently, a horse with these characteristics (bay, brown, buckskin, black, etc.) will have at least one parent with a black mane, tail and lower legs. Only in very rare, specific instances would this not be true. A given stallion and mare may produce foals of several different colors (including some not indicated by either parent), but there are certain colors which two parents should not produce. Therefore, AAHIA will evaluates the colors of the sire and dam to determine if the foal /horse genetically can be the color listed on the registration application. Colors which are exceptions to the rules of genetics are then investigated to determine accurate color, and in most cases, it is determined that the wrong color was indicated for the foal, or the parents were registered with incorrect color. Either error must be corrected. </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="id23.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Coat Colors">Coat Colors</A>  / <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Markings">Markings</A></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div>  <A HREF="http://www.copyscape.com/"><IMG SRC="http://banners.copyscape.com/images/cs-ye-234x16.gif" ALT="Page copy protected against web site content infringement by Copyscape" TITLE="Do not copy content from the page.
