How colorful is your yard?

[buzzles]

I've just realised that I have quite a collection of colors of horses/ponies at home at the moment, I've a fleabitten grey, steel grey, bright bay, dark bay, skewbald, palamino, liver chestnut, bright chestnut (as in orange!) and a light chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. I reckon that's quite a good mix for a small yard, especially as color is the one thing I don't take into consideration when I'm buying a horse!! I've also a black pony who is out on loan and have previously had a dun, dapple grey and spotted. I think all I'm missing is a piebald and a roan!! So how colorful is your yard and is color important when you're buying a horse?!!

 

[YorksG]

Currently have one blue roan, one bright chestnut with roaning and varnish marks, one piebald and one chestnut leopard spot (mainly white now due to age) have had a steel grey and a strwberry roan in the past, so pretty odd colours!

 

[madhector]

[ColleenIsh]

We have 2 bays , a liver chestnut and a dapple grey , across the road there is a palamino and a dark bay .

 

[wildpinksalmon]

pmsl......omg what a collection of colours!!! at least you will always be able to tell who is who at the far end of the field rather than a bunch of grey's!! no horse is important not the colour

Three chestnuts (well, one is a paint, but still chestnut mostly) and a bay.

[cheeryplatypus]

four bays, v exciting

used to think colour important but personality won the day when i chose my boy
we make up for the lack of colour with lots of gaudy water and feed buckets though

 

[SouthWestWhippet]

We've got about 40 horses on our yard so a real mix of colours...

Strawberry Roan
Lots of Bays (dark and light)
couple of Chestnuts including one "Baked Bean" chestnut!
2 skewbalds although one is really a tri-colour
Appolosa,
Dapple grey
Regular Grey
Fleebitten grey
Cream (with the blue eyes)
Black
Dun (fiord pony so has the amazing black and dun mane as well)
Palaminos (lots as all the hafflingers are palamino)
Chestnut with flaxen mane/tail

We haven't got a blue roan, a piebald or a brown... but we have most other colours floating about somewhere!

 

[Hemirjtm]

a bay and a chestnut

 

[harrihjc]

a bay and a skewbald (who looks like he's been tango'ed at the mo, he's bright orange and white, well, dirty white)

 

[vickers22]

bay, appaloosa, palomino, black, flea bitten grey, dapple grey, piebald and 5 chesnuts. Thats quite a good range of colours i think considering that includes all the horses on the yard and that its quite small yard.

 

[CJ1]

12 in our playground.

2 dapple grey
1 pali
6 bay/brown
1 blue roan shetty
1 chestnut

Not very! Every horse Vicky owns is bay!
On the DIY yard we have 2 chestnuts, 1 bay and 3 greys

Thats it, very boring

 

[aimeerose]

ours was a very big yard so every colour imaginable!

 

[RobinHood]

There are far too many horses on the yard to go through but my family has 4 bays (all different shades) one chestnut (very orange) and one lighter chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. In the past we have had coloureds and greys too.

 

[vieshot]

We have a bay roan, two greys, a dappled grey, three bays, a strawberry roan, five chesnuts, a chesnut flaxen and a dark bay.

 

[Alibear]

Bay and Black are in-foal and will 100% have Chestnut, Bay or Black Tabiano.

And 2 liveries (super_kat's girls) are both Chestnut.

 

[Theresa_F]

Cairo - sabino clydesdale - he is very difficult to describe - sort of roan/bay with spots and flecks, white legs and white belly - he is used as an example of a sabino in model horse magazine.

Chancer - skewbald - with black and white mane, black tail

Chessy - dun

Bobby - blanket spots

Stella - good old chesnut

 

[mollymurphy]

There are 12 on our yard - 5 of which are black. Plus 1 solid chestnut, 1 chestnut with flaxen mane & tail, 3 dark bays, 1 bright bay, and 1 palimino. Nothing overly unusual - never seen so many black horses in one place though..... x

 

[mad_egg]

Most are bay, there's a beautiful palomino owned by one of the liveries though. There's a few coloureds, and only one grey.
