What color coat enhancer?

Care To Jazz? · 10-21-2006, 05:57 AM

I've never been quite sure of what color Jazz is. He has a dorsal stripe but doesn't have all black point and his forelock is blond (sunkissed) and so is his tail a bit. His mane is mostly brown caz I pull it but I'm gonna leave it long now. In the summer he's sort of a golden brown color :

but in the winter he's a dark brown color:

(this was in the spring so he was already starting to get blonder)

(winter a long long time ago)

anyways just wanted to know what coat enhancer I should use? I thought of the palomino one caz I want him to be brighter. Oh and what color do you guys think he is? I have no clue!

is he registered, to me in the first pics he looks like a chestnut dun cross but i have no idea!

I will guess Chestnut. Alot of times dun stripes come out on other colors but that doesnt make them a dun. JB is the one to talk to. She knows all the color stuff.

He looks like a (true)Liver chestnut. Countershading is what that dorsal stripe is called when it's not actually a Dun dorsal stripe. Liver chestnut is that shade of chestnut that no one can seem to tell what colour he really is. Liver Chestnuts can have lighter or flaxen manes.

Chestnut+Dun= Red Dun. He would have leg barring, dorsal stripe, webbing on the face and a shoulder stripe, and of course dark(er) points.

He's really lovely though.

ok thanks for everyone's thoughts but if I want him to be brighter what enhancer should I use? Brown would make him darker
