Even for a clyde cross she is a funny color. And not too drafty looking. I like her.

Well considering Clydes don't have roan, yeah she's funny. There has to be something else mixed in there. :wink: I'm betting Quarter Horse.

Uh oh. I've met Clydes at work that have white hairs mixed in with colored- isn't that the definition of roan?

Nope, it's not. :D All Clydes are heavily sabino, and as such, MOST with have white hairs scattered in, but that's sabino roan, not true roan. True roan will have a dark (non roaned) head and legs whereas sabino roan will be all over.

Sabino roan (not the roaning extending onto legs and head and even in mane and tail):

Another sabino roan:

True roan:

A TB/Clyde cross? Wow.
Where is the Clydesdale part of him? :roll:

Yeah it hadn't occurred to me... that horse should have alot more white to be a half Clyde too.

Solid black you mean? I've never seen a solid Clyde, although I have seen plenty of black Clydes. It still wouldn't explain the roan on this horse though. I also think it would be virtually impossible to get a half Clyde with this little white.

Some of the photos on this login betray a heavier equine but anyway it looks great!
