SHARP FROSTY_ a "roan"?

Postby Jorge » Sat Jul 18, 2009 9:33 pm

Just noted that the suggestively named, SHARP FROSTY appears here as a "roan" ("roaned" I suppose :idea: :?: ). According to official sources he was a "chestnut". Any additional information or photo on this horse?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi Jorge,

Frosty's sire has good pedigree with sabino/white factor, and some is close up in his pedigree. But looking further, WOW the dam side of her dam Frosty Skater is loaded!!! I would bet she was registed chestnut as a baby and went through a sale as a heavily roaned chestnut, maybe an extreme rabicano, she sure has the pedigree for it!

Is that Magical Story? There's a very dark picture of her on the pedigree page. She looks lovely.
