Beautiful horses & their coats..

[Pinkshadow]

Okay, i know nothing about horse coats, as their isnt really that many colours in danish language when it comes to horse coats..

but i would love to have a thread where we can show pretty horse pictures and if someone know the coat, please share, but otherwise just smalltalk about the horses that get shown here :p

I loove these ; - as far as i know they are Miniature horses, and i think it's funny they can be so diffrent in the looks.







dunno most of their coats, but their darn cute and pretty<3

Hmm, I think the first is a chestnut sabino, adn the last is a smkey buckskin. Not for sure though

Black tobiano
Blue dun tobiano

I was looking at pictures of Andalusians the other day and came across this one:


No idea what coat that is, since there's a dark mane and tail, and looks like dark legs too. (it looks like there may be some dappling on the butt, so maybe some kind of silver dapple?)
I do want to know what people think the coat is....I want to try and breed for it in a Quin >u>

[Keilin Alyr]

Given how relatively dark the mane/tail are, I imagine that Anda isn't silver dapple. Perhaps a dapple gray, since I understand gray is a very common color in Andalusians? Beautiful horse though. =)

[Jaguarakat]

I agree with Keilin, silver dapples usually have very light manes.

[Silvanon]

*nods*  The name "Silver Dapple" is misleading, because the gene doesn't actually cause dapples, it's characterized by the light mane on what would have been a black mane.

The Andalusian Solistia posted looks like a bay in the process of greying out, to me.

[springacres]

*nods* Black-pointed greys are one of my very favorite horse colors.

[Wildfilly94]

Yeah that horse is definantly in the process of greying out.
Me and Andalusians are like this *crosses fingers*. My moms friend raises them, trains them, breeds, and shows them. Anyone ever heard of Santiago? Hes quite 'Famous' a national champion, wins everything he shows in really, and hes been on the covers of magazines. ^^ Gloriav (Moms friend) bred him and raised him herself into the champ he is. I love that horse.

Anyway... >.< I ramble too much...

We had a Paso Fino from FL come up to our barn during the hurricanes a few years ago that was insured for a million bucks.  He was a stud and they were told we wouldn't keep studs, but brought him anyways.  And with him, he brought a beautiful draft girl that was artificially inseminated with a pure Paso baby.  It was a pretty cool experience.  The stud was pure black, and while I didn't have the oppurtunity to ride him, my good friend did.  She said it was like floating on a cloud.

Back to colors.... I think all these horses are gorgeous!  But my favorite... Brindle horses....
