No, she would not be considered a pink horse. Pink horses are born with a pink-colored hue to them. Actually, 'pink' horses aren't an actual color, even here on HWO. But since they have such an awesome pink hue to them, we've given them the moniker of Pink.

Pink is a color most often seen on red-based horses (chestnuts) with pangare and also dun. Although a pink hue can come from other combinations, the dun gene or the pangare gene is required to have the pink hue. Your gorgeous horse is a chestnut with dun. But her pinkish-hue is from the Lp gene (leopard complex). She likely won't maintain her color currently. She'll continue to bleach out because of Lp.
If you look at her yearling picture in her gallery, you'll see her more truer coloration.

Also, as a note. Pink requires dun or pangare to be very strongly expressed. There are a number of good examples in the favorites link: http://www.horseworldonline.net/forum/v ... =8&t=10222

She's a varnished red dun with a blanket (not a roan).
