According to AMHR what color is this?

[user 3234]

We just got our AMHR papers back on our gelding. He is a tri-colored pinto with dark chestnut red roan spots on back and toward tail and his tail is red, minor amounts of black and white. AMHR came back with the color cresent. What color is this I cannot locate on their website?

Thanks.

Is there something that describes AMHR color codes?

Sounds to me they made a typo on the papers. Send them back for correction.

If the horse appears to be a "tri" colored pinto, it is probably a bay pinto. Bay Pinto should be one of the color options.

sls - AMHR doesn't use color codes on papers (not sure about their studbook on line as I don't have access). On the papers, though, the colors get written out in full.

I've never heard of the color 'cresent'--sounds like a typing error to me. If he's a tri color pinto then that would make him a bay pinto and that is what his papers should say.

It sounds like a typing error, and I would guess that it is meant to read Chestnut Pinto.

Tri-color Pinto is really a misnomer as it doesn't describe what color he is! It is a bit similar to calling animals Piebald (black & white) or skewbald (which was originally used for any other color & white). IMPO, the only true Tri-color pinto would have to be a Chimera!

If his tail is chestnut - he is a Chestnut Pinto (with roan patches!)

To be a Bay Pinto he would need to have a black mane, tail, as well as his legs would be black (if they don't have white on the lower parts).

Unless he carried silver, the the mane and tail would appear white/silver/or even a strange shade of flaxen and the black on the legs would be diluted to a paler black tone with a brownish/red or red toned body.

Don't you just love color genetics!!!!!!!

Okay - I finally pulled out the AMHR Registration and looked again.

His color is Sorrel Roan Pinto, mixed mane & tail

but where they describe marking it notes:

Cresent

then it describes his leg markings

His colors are deep red "spots", his mane is white/light red or sorrel, his tail is sorrel, white with minor amounts of black.

are you sure that s not his facial marking?? Cresent as in a half moon

 

[Becky]

Yes, cresent would be describing a face marking.

 

[user 3234]

okay, that would answer the questions because he does have a star or half moon on his forehead. I have just never heard of it referred as a cresent.

Thanks.
