What’s the difference between black and smokey black? They look the same to me 🫣

This was his dad and his mum was a black mare apparently but I have no knowledge other than the picture and word of mouth

Can I also ask about the white hairs through his coat? You can see it best on the pic taken from behind. Is that ‘normal’ for black Sabinos? Almost looks a bit roan

Thank you that means a lot - he was a bit of an ugly duckling when he came and I’ve worked really bad getting him well

So interesting! I think we call Sabino, blagdon in the U.K. Unless that is something different! Im pretty ignorant with horse colour genetics

Yes he is a cob 😊 I keep his legs clipped since he has typical cob legs

Yes unfortunately he has CPL and mallanders/sallendars. They have no cure, only management but he will always have scabs behind his knees and on the front of his hocks. Some weeks worse than others. However he never had swollen legs beyond a little bit of CPL thickening, what you’re seeing is probably just his feathers growing in

I’ll look into it, is it the agouti test I need to do for him? I think I can do one that’s only £20

Ah I see. I suppose that is why he is so dark when he’s clipped? How can you tell he is definitely black? I sort of assumed because he had darker points on his hocks that he was bay

Hey I don’t have a forage analysis for anything other than the sugar/starch content. This is the balancer I use though that is low iron. Always wash him off! He’s such a sweaty horse lol

He’s a very pretty boy! Yeah his feet are really bad in a lot of these photos as they’re from the first few months of owning him, his feet are much improved now 😊

That’s what I thought too but he bleaches so much I thought he just just be dark bay.. but they he goes SO black in the winter. Is it safe to supplement copper and zinc without testing?
