I always wanted a horse in this colour but didn't think they existed!!

And everyone loves a good Noriker ...

There is an Italian breed of heavy draft horse with this extremely dark liver chestnut/flaxen mane and tail, but the name escapes me. I have also seen a few PRE's with this colouring (very expensive and much admired, I may add).

This is baby cob's base colour. I'd love the same in a solid colour, think he might be chocolate palomino or something but I'm not sure. He looks grey in his summer coat but if you look at the dark hairs, they're actually dark brown on his rump, back, shoulders and ears. His tail is brown, cream and silver, mane is cream and grey and his white bits have a silver sheen to them, especially along his back. Never seen a horse his colour before and it doesn't show in photos!
 
I used to ride this absolute cutie - not sure on his breeding but he was very pretty.

His name is Puch (said Poosh) and he was rescued from the meat man. One very lucky and special pony.

Not sure what colour you would call him as but as he used to dapple out a lot the owner described him as chocolate palomino with spots!!

Yeah, they didn't say those were their horses...They said theirs were similar :)

No, I didn't read it as they were saying that the horse illustrated was owned by OP, just that it was their dream colour. :) and that was an example.
 
There is a Welsh A or B that a member on Saddlesoap put a pic on of. Absolutely stunning. I have a Welsh B mare with a silver mane and tail but sadly the rest of her is plain old ging!!!
 
Not the same colour, but this reminded of this little fellow I met at a stud in the US, he is a purebred arabian colt and I really wanted to take him home:
