So here is an interesting colored mustang that is going through the BLM

Is it roan, extreme lacing, or appaloosa? What is interesting is the frosting goes into the mane and the top of the tail, then the tail goes to black
They have another one from the same facility that looks more like the typical lacing with the same mane frosting and tail https://www.blm.gov/adoptahorse/horse.php?horse_id=10193&mygalleryview=
Then there is this beautiful example of a silver bay https://www.blm.gov/adoptahorse/horse.php?horse_id=10205&mygalleryview= |

I've actually been looking at those exact three mares for almost two weeks :D That silver bay is stunning! I think that first mare is appaloosa. That would be my guess anyway. |

They're calling her strawberry roan but she makes me think appaloosa over roan, especially the photos of her left side. |

Of course I had to check them all out and I just love this mare:

She just looks like with some time she'd be so pleasant and sweet, she seems to want to visit with the camera person vs. run away from them. |

I would absolutely believe the first mare is just a blanket appy except for the fact that I can see none of the appy characteristics, like white sclera or mottled skin. The hooves might be striped but can't tell. I am sold on the blanket but even on the close up of the face I could see zero skin mottling or any sign of white sclera. So I'm going with an awkwardly expressed roan. The second one actually looks more like lace than roan because of the reverse dappling shape it seems to take on, but there's no way to tell for sure.
The Burns herd is the one closest to me so I do enjoy stalking that herd lol :) I also noted this gorgeous liver chestnut: https://www.blm.gov/adoptahorse/horse.php?horse_id=10198&mygalleryview= and this horse with a very interesting butt-only roan (not in the right spot for rabicano either): https://www.blm.gov/adoptahorse/horse.php?horse_id=10199&mygalleryview= It's interesting that all the mysterious roanish horses have been captured in the same place. I wonder if they're related. |

I agree with you on the 2nd mare...whoops I didn't realize there were two "strawberry roans," my opinion was on the first. |
