Its hard to get a good picture of Jewel's changing coat. If you look closely you can see the lighter spots. She started with a small spot on her back now she has gray spots all over.
She has a large spot under her jaw.
As she scratches he hair falls out revealing the gray, black and white underneath.
My vet said she will change colors three times before her color will be permanent. The fun part of roans is that they change color several times a year. The difference between a gray horse and a blue roan is that the color of the gray hair is obviously gray. A roan's hair (specifically a blue roan) the hairs are all black and white displaying from a distance a gray. Up close you can see the individual black and white hairs. Very fun to watch the change.
