Meet Peppermint Patty, our 6 year old newly adopted mystery mare. We are already completely in love with her!! She has some boundary and feet issues we are working through, but she is beautiful, loving, smart, and absolutely worth every bit of patience.
Her full color panel is pending through UC Davis, along with genetic testing for Appaloosa conditions, (fingers crossed).
Current guesses are somewhere between palomino or sorrel/chestnut pintaloosa, varnish roan Appaloosa, few spot Appaloosa, pinto plus Appaloosa characteristics, or something cream/champagne/pearl-adjacent maybe if her genetics are feeling extra dramatic.
She has mottled skin around her muzzle and eyes, visible sclera, striped hooves, a wee bit of feathering, pinto patterning more visible when wet with smoky/darker body patches, and little reddish/gold/cream spots that show up more clearly when she is dry. Her mane and tail are light cream/flaxen.
What would you call this beautiful little mystery?
I’ll update when her results come back!
