ROAN, in the manège. A roan horse is one of a bay,
bay, forrel, or black colour, with grey or white spots interspersed very thick. When this party-coloured coat is accompanied with a black head and black extremities, he is called a roan horse with a black-a-moor's head; and if the same mixture is predominant upon a deep forrel, he is called claret-roan.
