A majestic blue roan coated horse strikes a dynamic pose. The horse has a predominantly white coat that transitions into a deep blue or black hue towards its mane, tail, legs, and part of its face. The mane is long and flowing, tinted with shades of black and gray, suggesting movement or wind. Its face is marked with unique dark spots, especially around the nose and eyes, which gives it a distinctive appearance. The horse's eyes have a determined and spirited expression. Its legs, especially the front one, are raised, indicating that it might be in mid-gallop or executing a powerful stride. The tail, like the mane, appears to be in motion, swept to one side, and has a mix of white and black colors. Overall, the image captures the beauty, strength, and grace inherent to this equine creature.

Blue roan is a color pattern in horses where the coat appears to have a mixture of white and black hairs, giving the horse an overall "blue" appearance. However, the "blue" term is a bit of a misnomer, as these horses aren't truly blue; it's just the appearance given by the mix of hairs.

The roan pattern is caused by a genetic trait that scatters white hairs throughout the coat. There are several types of roan, categorized by the base color of the horse.
