I have a mare that i have had since she was 6 months. Im just curious what color she may be. At 3 years old she started getting these white specks of hair all over her body it started on her neck and is now all over her body. Her dam is chestnut and her sire is red dun overo (he is dominate). I dont know much about red duns as i have never seen one up close before. Picture of her at 3 years old:

Looks to me like she's roaning out. |

Yup, I would second that. Definitely looks like roaning. My goodness, I am in love with her face <3 |

Thats what i have been thinking but i have been told she cant be toaning out since she "isnt" a roan on her pedigree it says she is a chestnut overo |

Sometimes formal pedigree colors leave out some genes. My AQHA Grulla colt is sired by Beaus Smokin Bleugun. On Beaus papers, it says he is just a "Grulla", but he is in fact "Smokey Grulla". He has a cream gene which no one would know by just looking at his pedigree which is kind of a major gene to leave out LOL Imagine people's surprise when their buckskin mare they bred to a grulla stallion throws out a perlino baby. O.o
It's also why I have to have my boy tested for the cream gene to confirm that he is also a Smokey Grulla like his daddy, since there's really no visual way to be sure. (There are small markers that point to it (cream fur in ears, on the backs of his legs), but I want to be 100%)

I honestly want to gene test her lol im just curious. A trainer guy said that red duns can roan out too and looking at the pictures of her he said its possible she is a red dun just roaning out |

Yeah, any color can roan out just like any color can grey. She doesn't look dun to me, but red duns can be more difficult to see. My colt's mother was actually a red dun. Does she have a dorsal stripe or barring on her legs/shoulders? |

No dorsal stripe or barring. Her sire is a red dun overo. According to my research she could be sabino instead of overo because her markings arent overo |
