| Genetics: | Recessive roaning gene (ro/ro). Most likely unnamed modifier genes control the amount of markings - the difference between full roan and striped roan. This marking can be bred in any colour but dark colours are more common. |
| Description: | A strikingly marked bi-colour variety with roan colouration, symmetry and contrast being important impressions. Clearly distinct from existing marked varieties. The striped Roan shall have as symmetrical markings as possible. The chest, belly, sides and all the legs to be completely white. A wide inverted V shaped blaze including the whisker bed, coming as close to the eyes as possible without touching the eyes, and coming to a point between the ears. Jaw line and underside of the head must be white. Eye colour to conform to the standard for the base colour. From the head, the colour runs back covering the ears and continues along the body with no suggestion of a hood, in an unbroken horizontal stripe, symmetrical and as straight as possible. The stripe to be approximately 5cm wide. Demarcation shall be as clear cut and even as possible. Tail: Unmarked preferred. |
| Status: | This marking is unstandardised in the UK with the name Striped Roan |
