Question
theres now a new born filly who was just born and shes odd coloured as well. shes a palomino with a white patch wich starts from her lift eye and goes down too her left leg. the other filly that is 2 days is odd coloured too, its dark blue roan with white patches. tell me if they odd or new coloured or if u have herd of such colours

Answer
I don't know the breed of horse this filly belongs to.  It may just be an unusual coloration or it could be, since the blue roan also has white patches, a sign of a mineral deficiency, perhaps the foal had too much pressure where the white patches are while in utero whic cause the pigmentation to die.  These are just ideas.  If you are concerned or see problems develop in the foals don't hesitate to call a vet for help.
