My vote, beautiful color, but if TB will turn into a white TB with a beautiful steel grey mane and tale.

definately blue roan, the face and legs are a darker than the rest of the body, plus the metallic like sheen, this quarter horse is not grey

Dah, I just saw it was a QH. He has a very faint brownish face which could be blue roan..............but I cheated and called the owner to find out what color the parents are. If they are not greys, and are bay, red, or blue roans, then yep he's a blue roan. When she calls me back, I'll let ya know what she said. :wink:

Ive already looked at the pedigree. There is gray. And there is also roan, though it came out of nowhere apparently.

Yeah he's def. grey. Could be roan under it but hard to say by looking.
