Roan

A roan has white hairs spread throughout its coat. Areas which have short hair tend to be darker, while the body is lighter. The horse will look lighter in winter.

There are three variations; a stawberry roan (chesnut coat), a bay or red roan (bay coat) and a blue roan (dark brown or black coat).
