RE: [RC] Horse Color - heidiNow that I think about it, you're right. My first inclination was thinking of the one time I had a chestnut foal that was SO flaxen-footed as a newborn that the night she was born I thought she had 4 socks. But, by morning light I could tell she had only one (and felt rather foolish about it). However, in a photo -- and not knowing what size or how clear this APHA photo is -- I guess I can see foal coloration fooling someone. Yep, and it is often easier to see the white marking in the first day or two, and more difficult when the hair begins to fluff a bit. But I've had that experience at night with newborns, too--thinking there's a lot more white legs than there turn out to be the next morning in the light of day! <g> I'd still be suspicious, though, as this is an auction horse we're talking about... Certainly don't want to discount that possibility, either.
