      I'm curious, came across the term, "vinegar roan" in my reading. I'm curious if this is a real color, or just a variation of "red roan."

     The palomino roan on the site is really a red or chestnut roan with much more white in his coat than normal.

     I have a grey QH "Sheba" that I'm having problems figuring out what color she is. I've been told she might be a grey roan, dapple grey or even a silver roan. I looked at all your samples on here & didn't see any that looked even close to her coloring. I'd never even heard of the silver roan til earlier today & needless to say, there's no mention on here about one either. Problem is she'll be getting her coggins soon & I really need to figure this out so we can get it right. Can someone help me please? Thanks, Rita PS. I do have pics of her (Sheba) on my homepage at: http://www.myspace.com/rskelso

      Hi, im Dawn.I know quite bit about horse colours myself! But, there is one thing i would like to point out. A 'bay roan' IS a red roan! I know, it's crazy, but every single horse magazine and book i have got says that bay roan is properly called red roan. A strawberry roan is chestnut or brown roan. A blue roan is a black roan. I've never heard of palomino roan before...to the publisher of this website: please make sure that what you print here is fact, and not something that you have simply assumed or heard from someone. thankyou, from Dawn.

     About the roan color page... The bay roan ("Rather Regal") in the first example to the color, is also a dun roan becouse he has a dorsal stripe on the back. You can see it in the picture... You shuld mantion that in the article. I really like your site it helps me alot! Keep going! Yours Tanya

      I ride a Red Roan, Quarter Horse, Stallion. Hes fun, and 1 of the most smoothest horses I've ever rode. Its like he has 2 personalitys, an ego mean horse, then once you put the saddle and bridal on him he goes right to work, and is one of the best horses in the world!!!!!
