PL52 - Yes that is one, a nice one at that.
I saw that one, am I right in thinking he was a fairly good price for him?

Must have seen it somewhere else 
I thought it was any cob with sabino markings, white legs and face, white or roaning on belly, sometimes roaning on body, they can be any background colour.
I've also always known a blagdon cob to be a solid colour or roan, with big white leg markings and a big white stripe or very loud face marking, and possibly white on the belly. Like clydesdale kind of markings.
Well thank you for making this thread fairlady. I did wonder when I saw the one I posted above but assumed it was a foreign breed and made a mental note to ask Kis Vihar
The welshie I ride is meant to be a blagdon (according to my instructor) and she's strawberry roan with a white belly, which has a blob of chestnutty/roan colour on, and very long stockings. Quite similar to clydesdale markings.
No idea what the different between blagdon and rabicano is, though

Blagdon is another way [an old fashioned way] of describing Sabino markings. SB1 allele is actually absent in the breeds you'd think carry it - like Shires & Clydes
White leg markings above the knees and hocks with jagged margins, wide blazes, and belly spots or roaning.
Gonna put this out there - I like equine colour genetics

Rabicano is limited roaning of the coat [also called ticking]
It's different to true roan, as only affects the tail head, flank and in extreme cases, over the belly.
True Roan affects the whole body evenily except for the horse's points
It's not to be confused with Sabino - Sabinos lack the white hairs at the base of the tail, which is where Rabicano will first present itself

ETA: Well
I don't see any Sabino or Rabicano..
I see a black, possibly very dark bay - no white present - not a 'blagdon'/Sabino x

I am yes, but I'm guilty of not being able to leave things alone
And you never know, someone else might see it and learn something! Breathing life into old threads - I do it in other forums too lol xx
