Duchess... I took the liberty of lightening your pics to see can see better what your foal looks like!

I know foals can change a LOT from foal coat to their permanent color, especially those that might roan, but is there sign you can see that she'll roan out? Because if I were to guess, I see no sign of white on this foal, 'cept that cute spot on her face. If she were any other breed I'd guess she'd shed out darker than she is now.

If she did roan out does that alone qualify as color in appy registration?

This scene is adorable. A classic shot of mom and babe.

I don't see a white hair on her, but she is a really rich bay color. I'd think she'd shed out to be like MissTarget's filly.

With foals that are going to be roan, you don't see any white hairs at first, and they actually appear to be born with a darker color than most solid color foals. The roan starts coming in a few weeks later, usually as a few white hairs widely scattered all over the body (down close to the skin) except for the face and legs. You'd never guess by looking at this picture of Hope that she was going to be a roan...
