I havnt answered the poll because if its talking about cobs i wouldnt buy a black and white one and probably an other colour one either! I was thinking of coloured horses in general, no type in particular:)


i would love to own a proper paint horse! got any i could drool over? Some :)

The two in my photo above are both registered Paints, if Photobucket hadn't thrown all of its' toys out the pram and would behave then I could bore you with lots more, but it has, so I can't.
 
I prefer very minimal white on my coloureds! I am not overly fussed on what colour it is but if I could design the perfect colour scheme it would be black and white!

I almost got it right with Gracey, just got minimal black rather than minimal white LOL

I don't really like piebalds (especially gypsy types) but do like a good ('sports type') skewbald.

Skews for me, and not a fan of white faces. Titchy has just about as much white on her face as I can stand. Also prefer less white!

Of course Titchy's markings are mental anyway!

Im very picky about coloureds. Im not fussed what colour they are but:

I don't like too much white,
I don't like white faces,
I don't like seeing horses in coloured classes that have a tiny splash under its tummy!,
I like solid lines,
I like spots but not coloured and spotty (if that makes sense)
ooh I also prefer dark legs :)

That is all :)

eta - I don't like blue eyes and I dont like splashes

eta a 2nd time - Miss C... I love your mare :)

Piebald for me, although I only really like coloured on traditional cobs! If I was in the market for a sports type, then I would want a solid colour, darker the better!
I prefer large, well defined 'areas' of colour, rather than splashes and as even as possible both sides. Also, not too much white on the face. In fact, Markie is my perfect horse!

My cobblet is piebald and he also has spots.He has one white eyelash and one black one.
Those are lovely horses in your pics.
I also like tri coloured and the blue and white coloureds.
 
love coloureds!! i voted for skewbald. there are a couple of stunning piebalds ive seen, but by and large i prefer a skewbald! (light legged rather than cobby)

i have a buckskin/white tobiano and i think she's stunning... but i am biased as i bred her from my mare!

i also LOVE blue and whites...

prefer a solid coloured head, rather than white, and like a 50/50 split between colour and white.
 
I like minimal white on the body, but love white faces and stockings.

I prefer, tricoloured, blue and white, buckskin and white and lemon and white to piebald or skewbald.
 
I love my piebald

she's awfully marked, a nightmare to keep clean, has very minimal black on her and has mismatched eyes to match

but she's also the best horse I've ever owned.. :D

Grey skewbald :D Like my mare :) Nobody believed me she actually was coloured until I showed them she was registered or she was either wet or clipped because she's a 'historical' skewbald so it fades a bit and most of the patches are under her neck and on her bum so are less obvious :P I have only met one other one like her though and he was more faded than Bella :)

I love buckskin and whites though too, they look so cute :D
 
I like more dark than white on a coloured horse! :)

But I would prefer if a coloured horse had dark coloured hocks!!

You didn't have enough options. I have a silver dappled buckskin who is stunning.

I know:) The list would have been long otherwise so I kind of grouped them into black and white, and any other colour (skewbald or otherwise)

Here are some more, although I still don't see a silver dappled buckskin on there...;)

Two more of mine, the one at the back is a bay tobiano, the one at the front is a silver bay, that white on his neck and the splodge on his side is all the white he has.

As PB isn't playing ball...

this is my two year old, I like his face marking.

And this is my 19 year old, coming into his winter coat so not his best colour - he is buckskin.

Oh, your PB too? I thought it was just mine, all the photos have gone tiny and it says 'mobile photobucket'.

I. Don't. Want. Mobile.

Scroll to the very bottom of the mobile photobucket page. In the middle, in blue writing it says 'View full website'. Click on that and it will take you back to the original site :)
