When is a paint a tri-color?
My mare is a sorrel/dun overo. She has black or really dark brown in her mane and tail….it is not a lot but it is a handful or more. Could she be classified tri-color, even if the dark brown is just dark brown not black?
Her body color is mostly white (that is her in my picture) and her body color is between a dun and sorrel. Like butterscotch. The mane color is a different color all together, it looks more like faded black to me.

yes, and if your pic. is the horse then she is magnificent!!!!
an example of a tri-colored paint would be a bay paint…meaning the main and tail is either black, or black and white….the spots are brown and white…and there can be black on the legs, etc.
A tri-colored paint is exactly as the name says it…three colored paint…if a paint has 3 totally different colors then it’s considered tri-colored
no she is not tri colored it would have to be on her body to be classified as one.
The only way you can have tri color is for the horse to be a bay or buckskin….
If the mane color is different from the two body colors, it is a tricolor. Yours does sound that way. A dun sometimes has a mane and tail that look more brown than black. I would consider a dun paint a tricolor.
Bay and white or Buckskin and white are TRI COLOR, the rest are Bi Color.
If she has black, brown, and white, then yes a tri color. She is really pretty. I like her picture alot, nice pose!
I have a tri colored one but it wont let me post a photobucket picture here.
With yours i cant see the picture, to small and I’m blind LOL. With mine he is Buckskin/White/and Black.
From what i can see she is very pretty, post a bigger picture…please “)
