Imp is losing her foal coat and showing a very different colour underneath. These zebra stripes on the backs of her legs are called primitive markings, and are a strong expression of the dun factor gene that every Highland pony carries.
Her mum had them and a youngster, too, but she greyed out as she got older and you can't see them anymore. Will Imp eventually grey out too? Not sure yet - stay tuned!
