Cute baby - get some more pictures dometime today and get an opinion from you. Speed is light around her eyes and on her muzzle like the picture shows of Hope. Dusty has roaned out to look more like a leopard every day - the roaning is leaving spots. She didn't start that until she was over two though.
Appaloosa genetics are so strange. Dusty's sire and dam were both leopards - no roaning. The sire of this little girl is a leopard, with a leopard sire and a solid quarter horse dam.

That IS weird about Dusty's sire and dam both being leopards with no roan but yet she's roan. They must've both had some recessive roan in there somewhere.
You were talking about Dusty's roaning leaving spots and I was wondering if that's really what they are. I've noticed that when roans get a cut or scrape, the hair on that spot grows back solid, not roan. Could these spots be bug bites or something? Blade's got several spots on him where he's had boo-boos.
