Coloured Horses - does nature ever get it wrong?

[pip6]

Blimey Esther, Wolfe has certainly grown since the last photo I saw you post!

 

[RealityCheck]

This is one I bred, I guess her coloring isn't for everyone, but she's a lovely mare (that's her first test as a 4 year old!)

And as a babe

 

[Aces_High]

Wow that took some reading! I haven't looked closely enough at mine to see if she has any funny prints within her markings. I hadn't had or wanted a coloured and ended up with the thing in my signature. I must admit she has oodles of scope and jumps for fun so should make a nice competition animal.

Ooh realitycheck, she is stunning, what's her breeding?

As a three year old having a canter in the field.

I think this is the right way to do it.....

As a 4yr old first time XC Schooling

She is sired by Radikal (g-grandsires: Rubenstien I and Weltmeyer)

Dam is a Holsteiner by Lynx.

She is stunning Reality Check! As is her breeding!! Lucky lucky you! Just had a look at the stud website of the sire - such amazing horses - i love the loud frame overo stallion too, Wolkenzauber.

Pintoarab: your stallion is STUNNING. Absolutely stunning.

Funny how people like different things. I dislike the extensively white horses and think the minimally marked 'reject bays' are rather boring. I like them half and half but I don't like the 'belted galloway' look of dark head and bum and band in the middle. Also don't really like the dark face with only a small white blaze and dark nostrils.

I LOVE a big white face with a pink muzzle, out to the eyes but not over them. They're just soooo cute!

Piper is about my perfect markings: even marking and bit white face (but not a white head).

With fluff

And without fluff

Such a cute face!

Not great pics, but the most recent where she doesn't look like a mammoth!

I am sure she will mature into a lovely mare. Don't rush her.

Thank you Kallibear. I see you frequent SNEC. We are often there too.

RealityCheck. Absolutely stunning. Just the right side of unusual for me. Love, love, love the piggy pink eyes. Gorgeous!

Thankyou. No worries there, she is still very immature and so will not be doing anything until a 4 yo. Max i will be doing this year is putting a light saddle on and long reining, possibly a light lunge. No way my weight will be going over her back until she is 4!

Have judged some coloured classes, you get placing worked out in your head then ask them to change the rein and its like a whole new class lol

love this

 

[tallyho!]

I entered this boy in coloured classes with mixed reviews... To me he is just gorgeous but I know he is not everyone's cup of tea.

Just so you know this is a bad quality photo of a photo and he looks very overweight but he is not as he is a managed diabetic.

[weesophz]

[vikkibeth]

Puzzle when we first got him

1 year on

He was such a sweetie

 

[Venevidivici]

Vickibeth-If there was ever a pic of a horse with a more gentle,sweet,nurturing expression on his face than the one of him leaning over stable door to the baby in the pram, I'd like to see it. People might not think it possible to see those qualities/emotions in an animal's expression but I really think you can in that photo-amazing. What a sweetie.

Coloured ponies are good at that! Pips with his loaner.

Puzzle is a pure sweetie! So kind and gentle!

Are any of these beautiful horses by the stallion Allbany?

We have a mare by him, but she's black, not coloured.

 

[Turitea]

Oh, love all these coloured horses. Especially @tallyho's has the perfect markings imho, stunning!!

 

[R_H]

I love a coloured! Always end up watching them at events
My friend has an appaloosa (does that count?!) who is the most saintly pony I have ever met but when she was advertised the seller told my friend that the reason she didn't put a photo on the ad is because some people would be put off by her looks! However I think she is the best horse you could ever find regardless of her looks

Whats not to love? I LOVE well bred, well marked, well put together coloured horses

sorry if these are massive!!

 

[caramac]

This is my new little cob. I have had him just 2 months. I think he is gorgeous but I am a bit biased

And this is my older gelding who is now retired

I am very lucky to have 2 such handsome chaps

 

[YasandCrystal]

Lots of lovely coloureds on here.

Who is your horse by LaurenB? I thought I was looking at a photo of my youngster for a second!

 

[*Tex&Cam*]

I must say, im a slight coloured fanatic. I have 3 my mare is a very fine16hh piebald part bred Arab. She's by razzle dazzle royale, out of a thoroughbred. My gelding is a skewbald Dutch warmblood, a fab small hunter and my stallion is a skewbald hunter pony. I wouldn't swap any of them for the world. I will post pics when I'm on the laptop rather then my phone. I do agree there are some coloureds out there that are not very nice at all, but you can get that with any horse weather they are coloured, bay, chestnut, grey ect x

 

[Bojingles]

YasandCrystal, I think I'm in love with Little Barney. I reckon if I lost about 10 stone I could ride him

 

[pootleperkin]

Little Barney looks rather splendid
