[moneypit1]

I love them. Have never owned one but hanker after one. I have a light bay and a steel grey. A good friend of mine has the most delicious mare who is a black. Yummy. show me yours........

You know the old saying.If you are going to have a Black horse make sure it has some white on it to let out the Devil..This was soo true of a friends horse.What a little bleeder he was.Stunning to look at but my god had a temper.It's name was Sweet Revenge..

It was only the other day that I heard that black horses are renown for being 'quirky', hadn't ever known that before in the 9 years I have had mine!
He has a little sock on his off hind and about 5 white hairs on his forehead, just enough to let out a bit of devil!
He was hell as a child and still pulls meanie faces, but doesn't really mean it!
He also goes brown in the sun which I hate!
In the height of summer, brownish pone:

Goes back to black in the winter!:

OMG sorry about that!

They aren't black

I'd just say dark bay. Like this is a bay mare:

Spirit was absolutely jet black , winter/summer/whenever:

 

[arwenplusone]

Now, I would argue that the majority of the black horses posted on here are not black at all but actually are BROWN.

Anyway, here's mine

 

[Coffee_Bean]

I would also say the majority on here are not black but dark bay.

 

[madhector]

My sexy black pony....

 

[dixie]

Here's my loan horse - no white on him and he's lovely

 

[dizzyf]

i also think a lot of these are dark brown. apparently it's very rare to actually have a black horse!!

 

[mil1212]

It's down to the muzzle colour isn't it? if it's black that's a black horse, if is mealy/brown then its a brown horse

 

[ForeverBroke_]

i thought the same as mil1212..it depends on the muzzle/ flank?

 

[Natalie_H]

Tis true I'm afraid! "True" black horses are extremely rare! My horse (in my sig) is technically a very dark bay! Although if he can be deemed anywhere near black - he certainly is very quirky & doesn't have enough white to let the devil out! Just a tiny bit on his near hind!

 

[Scribbles]

+1, hence my post earlier. The first horse I posted was dark, but had dun coloured muzzle, and turned bay in summer. BUT the black horse I posted was black, no matter what time of year, or light you looked at her. My beautiful, gorgeous spirit xx

Brown horses are black on the body but brown around the eyes, muzzle and flank. Maybe on other parts of the body. A black horse, is classed as black, no white or brown at all.

[jeanettethree]

This is my daughters horse, his stable name is Ink !

 

[stroppymare153]

and mine - passport says black - but goes brown in summer - apparently it's a genetic thing, some do, some don't - cats are the same.

Bit of a cruel photo, really, but he doesn't mind - 17hands of pure dope (until you get on him!

)

 

[Hunty91]

I used to ride a black 16hh trakhener (sp?) - he was just like the Lloyds bank black horse, same long flowing mane and everything. He was also broken to drive and use to pull funeral carriages along with a black ID mare.

I'll try and find photos but think they might have been lost when previous computer broke!

 

[cokelly]

Well I've always considered my horse as black... But I do know pure black horses have to be ALL black but shhh

Here he is now (hope this works!)

I was told black horses are very rare too and agree the majority of pics people have posted are dark bay. I was also told brown isnt a common colour either. Dark bay is often mistaken for black or brown.
