No their is only red roans and blue roans, black roans and grayroans

The above answer is very incorrect. Roan can appear over any base coat, including palomino, buckskin...whatever.

Purple roan is used to describe a certain shade of roan - it's not an "official" color, it's rather like the terms "claybank dun" or "buttermilk buckskin". Any horse color can express in varying tones of darker or lighter from the same set of genetics, and for whatever reason, people sometimes pick out a certain shade to give a special name to.

Are horses the color roan?

"A roan is a color of horse, so some horses are roan, but the color of a horse depends highly upon the breed of horse. It is possible to determine the color of a foal before he/she is born by comparing the coats of the dam (mother) and the sire (father), also by looking at the previous foals of each." Roan is NOT a color. The color of horses does not depend on their breed. Many breeds can have any color at all. Roan is a scattering of white hairs though the body of a horse giving it a "salt and pepper" look. It can happen on any color horse, although it's not going to be as visible on lighter colors like grays or paler palominos.

What color horse will you get if you breed a strawberry roan stallion with a blue roan mare?

If either horse is homozygous for roan the foal will be roan, if both are heterozygous there is a 75% chance that the foal will be roan. If by strawberry roan you mean the stallion is a bay roan as opposed to a chestnut roan, we can surmise that the stallion is Rn-A-E- The mare is Rn-aaE- The base color of the foal, without regard to whether it is roan is as follows If the stallion or mare is EE at the extension site they will produce either a bay or black foal...since the stallion is bay he could be AA (only bay foals) or Aa which will produce 50-50 bay or black with this mare. If both the mare and the stallion are Ee at the extension site there is a 25% chance of a chestnut foal.


What is a a reddish horse called?

A reddish horse is called chestnut. The horse has no black markings, and the mane and tail are either the same color or lighter than the coat. There are a few different variations of chestnut, too. Liver is very dark red (close to brown), Sorrel (most common) is coppery and bright, and Blond (rarely used) is a very light and pale red or tan coat.

What color is a pink horse?

There is no such thing as a 'pink' horse. Some horses may look pink if they have enough white hairs mixed in with red ( chestnut/ sorrel) hairs. This is a red roan ( also sometimes called a strawberry roan or chestnut/ sorrel roan.)If a horse looks 100% truly pink it has likely been dyed that color.

How tall is a blue roan horse?

Roan does not affect a horses height in any way. Roan is simply a coat color modifier. A blue roan is just a black horse with the roan modifier.


What does the color roan look like and what are the primary base colors that create the make-up of the color roan?

The roan color is created when a bay, chestnut, or black horse has the roan gene, which works white and gray hairs into the coat so that only the head, lower legs, and the mane and tail show characteristics of the original color. A bay horse with the roan gene (called Bay Roan) will look a reddish-pink color except on his head and legs which will be brown and the mane and tail which will be black. A chestnut horse with the roan gene (called Strawberry Roan/Red Roan) will have more of an orangey reddish colored head, lower legs, mane, and tail, and the body will appear pink or strawberry colored. On a black horse with the roan gene (Blue Roan) the head, legs, mane, and tail will be black and the body will appear blue.


What coat color is usually red with white hairs mixed in the body?

If you are speaking of equine coat colors, the answer is roan. Roan coloration comes in various varieties also. If the horse has deep red coloration with white mottling and a dark tail and mane, it is a called a bay roan (due to the dark tail and main). Many of these horses, when their hair is groomed off look sort of lavender in color. A true lavender roan is the rarest color of equine and will sport white hairs at the top of the tail and base of the mane as well. An all over mottled roan horse who looks brownish is called simply a roan and has a light brown Maine and tail. When the roan horse is light enough to look as though it has a pinkish color, it is called a strawberry roan. One interesting thing of note is that genetically a roan-to-roan breeding is genetically lethal to a horses off-spring. For Howrse Archimedes' question: Red Roan

How long do red roans live?

Red roan or chestnut roan is just a color it in no way affects how long a horse will live.


How do you get a red-roan horse?

Blue roan is a black horse with the roan gene. Some black horses tend to retain their black color even when exposed to sun (non-fading black) others, like the horse described above will fade when exposed to sunlight. The best way to keep a black horse (or any other color) from fading is to keep them out of the sun. In during the day and out at night is one option as is the use of sheets and hoods. There are some conditioners and shampoos that claim to decrease fading.


Is there such thing as a gray roan?

Yes and no. The term grey roan comes mostly from the Jockey Club, it was used when horsemen did not have genetic color tests available to tell what color was what. Since a horse roans out as it gets older people found it hard to tell if it was grey or roan in time to list it's permanent color, so they would just say it was a' grey roan'. However the Thoroughbred does not come in true roan so the listing was false. There can be instances of other breeds being born a solid color, then roaning out a bit then suddenly they begin to grey,because they carry the grey gene mutation. So a horse can be roan then turn grey out over time. Remember grey and roan are both color modifiers and not colors in themselves.
