Interesting, particularly the Chimera.

There is a member on here, sorry, I know who you are, not your HHO name though, who has a skewbald horse with very distinctive chestnut patches like that.

The Icelandic cut and shut is an interesting comination isn't it?

Love the Pangare haflinger and the little badgerfaced cob :) Some stunning horses :)

Fany is pangare, you can see it in her clipped pictures and very well in her summer coat.

I've got a pangare too.

This is my 3yo cob, Saffy.

She was born a palomino but her mane and tail have now turned grey. :(

She looks very scruffy in this pic. lol.

Does anybody know what colour my big girl is?

Not the best picture of her cos she looks dopey but it shows off her colours. She's classed as chesnut in her passport but sometimes, especially in her winter coat, she looks very brown. She also has a grey mane and tail (just like her daughter, Saffy). She also has tiger stripes on her hind legs and dapples.

Well, I don't think that she's chestnut! ;)

My first thought was silver dapple, but you mention leg bars, which would indicate that dun is a possibility (not to be confused with buckskin).

I could be totally wrong as I'm no expert at all, just interested in coat colours. KarynK (member on here) and Enfys would have a good idea.

Thank you for posting that link. I enjoyed looking through those beautiful colourings, some I wasn't familiar with at all.

I have a slightly odd coloured one. He has the Sabino gene, but most people, including vets aren't sure how to label him.

Photos needed! :p :D

This was my unusual boy. Bay anglo-arab with a gulastra plume (grey tail).

This arab is not mine *sob* but he has the whitest gulastra plume that I've ever seen. :cool:

Seeing as this thread is attracting colour experts. We also have a Chesnut and White skewbald, but he has a 'salt and pepper' mane and tail, mostly dark and light grey with a few chestnut hairs. Is this the norm for chestnut and White? :)

This mare belongs to a HHO user she is a pure TB and the first one in the UK to be identified thought you might like to see her she is great.

Enjoying this thread...esp all your lovely pics
I didn't know about Pangare - both my Welsh Ds seem to qualify for that...

My dark bay boy has dun and chestnut 'corners' and muzzle and my bright bay blue-eyed boy has palamino 'corners' and also carries the Sabino gene and looks remarkably similar to the black and chestnut blue-eyed paint horse on the website...he also has socks that are black and white and his winter coat is cherry red with black underneath..black round his eyes now...very colourful!!
