Appaloosa Blue Roan

The Appaloosa is known for its uniquely spotted coat that comes in many patterns. They are hardy horses that make excellent stock, pleasure, and trail mounts. This particular horse features a blue roan coat, which is a horse coat color pattern characterized by an even mixture of colored and white hairs on the body, while the head and "points" — lower legs, mane, and tail — are mostly solid-colored. Horses with the varnish roan and snowflake patterns are especially prone to show very little color pattern at birth, developing more visible spotting as they get older.
