Wow, it is amazing how animal coats change each season.
Am I right in thinking Bluebell is the far right in the lower picture and middle in the top?

Yep, must be the kid with the eelstripe which has turned into the dark roan? It's very unusual to get a roan, I know people who have tried to breed them and been unsuccessful. My sister has a very pale one at moment (she just looks like a grubby white from a distance!).

I just thought it was because they where togg x sannen . We had another Togg gave birth to a billy kid the same year to the same billy and again it went the same as it grew.
snowdrops kids also have faint markings on them so I am watching to see what happens
