Rare Blue Roan Horse ..🐎
Roan is a horse coat pattern characterised by an even mixture of coloured and white hairs on the body, while the head and “points”—lower legs, mane and tail—are mostly solid-coloured. Horses with roan coats have white hairs evenly intermingled throughout any other colour. The head, legs, mane and tail have fewer scattered white hairs or none at all. 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
The roan pattern is dominantly-inherited and is found in many horse breeds. While the specific mutation responsible for roan has not been precisely identified, a DNA test can determine zygosity for roan in several species. True roan is always present at birth, though it may be hard to see until after the foal coat sheds. The skin may lighten or darken from winter to summer, but unlike the grey coat colour, which also begins with intermixed white and coloured hairs, roans do not become progressively lighter in colour as they age. The silvering effect of mixed white and coloured hairs can create coats that look bluish or pinkish. Rare Blue Roan Horse ..🐎
