He seems to have white hairs banded around his tail at the top.
Maybe a super strong rabicano, LOL?

Very interesting case worth my files!

According to my perspective, these are the possible
phenotypical alternatives. I placed the "X"
according to my choice:

01. WHITE________
02. STAINED WHITE________
03. MARKED CHESTNUT___"X"_____ (Somehow similar to Airdrie Apache)
04. CHESTNUT________

He is in the shadows, but he looks more bay to me......

Could be. If that's the case, then:

01. WHITE________
02. STAINED WHITE________
03. MARKED BAY___"X"_____
04. BAY________

He really is unusual-looking. I would like to know 'what' he is!

I also wonder why they shot his picture in such heavy shadow, and why, if he has such a good temperament, it's listed as 2 out of 10? :shock:
Somebody bet on the gray!

He looks to have the "cloudy" white areas like Painting Freedom, I like that. Maybe he is a "2" because he has never bred anything yet.

Listed a gr/ro by JC. Apparently no one noticed that he had no gray parent...

he's got an interesting color, but he's built like crap. Anyone take that into consideration?

His head is larger, and he is not being stood up correctly, but I have seen much worse..........
they will just need to be careful what kind of mare is put to him. I can see a good foal coming out of
him if the mare is really good, if not it could certainly make him look bad (which is true for any stallion though),
so hopefully the owner is picky with the mare owners. Sometimes the stallion owner has to say no.

Can you detail what you see? I 'thought' I saw something, but I'm not knowledgeable on this.

OK, I thought I saw something wrong with his 'top line,' but I'm no conformation expert. Thanks.
