I have a white grey but she is dappled in the summer, a chestnut and a black but she is part appaloosa (its a breed not a colour)

 

[amc]

Natalie_H, That's exactly what I thought, especially the bit about "black" horses being quite rare......so I'll carry on calling him a very dark bay !

 

[Suffolkangel]

Thank you... it makes him very distictive.... lol

 

[WelshFox]

Have ticked as many as possible but also have a cremello and two fleabitten greys :nod:

Our appaloosa is a few spot so more white than spotty (about 5 spots if you look hard

). Also have a palomino, dapple grey, liver chestnut, bay and a chestnut.

Yes we have too many LOL.

 

[flowerlady]

Grey (was steel grey now white grey) The one in my siggi

 

[DiablosGold]

Skewbald

 

[ladylisa]

One that was once dapple grey and now is white grey and one or two dapples still visible on her bum in summer.
And one that was once liver chestnut now turning chestnut!!!

 

[ester]

a palomino and a liver chestnut with flaxen mane and tail.

amc I would say yours is bay too! black is black is black and not that common (lots of black shetlands tho!)

 

[OskyWoskyPonio]

Thank you very much for voting and replying everyone!

 

[Nuttymanxmare]

A rather strange looking Chestnut

 

[fine_and_dandy]

Kia, my girly who I ride is a rose grey.

The boys are piebald, an (so I've been told) unusual dun and my beloved Krypto is a bright bay, but according to the vet he won't be for long, and he'll be a grey instead of a bay!!

 

[CastleMouse]

I have a grey

 

[tikino]

buckskin

 

[Stinkbomb]

I ticked other as Ty is a silver dun and white and Inky, although he appears dapple grey, isnt. He is a silver dapple

 

[Gorgeous George]

I put chestnut, but quite simply George is a fairly vibrant orange!

 

[Enfys]

2 Skewbalds although technically they are Overos.

 

[spike123]

I'm another pink horsey owner. I consider him chestnut roan though rather than strawberry roan as he is a really rich chestnut colour at the moment with a frosted appaloosa bottom.

 

[only_me]

a dappled bay

 

[spookypony]

Bright bay, but will probably be a little darker in the summer.

 

[only_me]

amc - your horse is brown!

brown is a horse that looks black but has brown points, and a black horse is a horse that has only black ie.no brown hairs all over

 

[amc]

Err What's a dark bay then ?? I don't mind what colour he is just interested to know what has changed in the last 30/40 years ! Tell me more .....

 

[only_me]

"Bay:
A horse with a reddish coat and black mane, tail and points (i.e. the limbs and muzzle). The coat colour can vary from red, to brown, to yellowish, and dapples may be present on the coat, especially in the summer.

Black:
A horse with a completely black coat with no traces of brown hairs. White markings are permitted on the face and legs. If there are any brown hairs (usually on the muzzle)then the horse is considered to be brown regardless of how dark the rest of the coat is.

Brown:
This is a horse with a mixture of black and brown hairs with a dark brown mane and tail. A very dark brown horse may appear black, although it is likely to have a lighter coloured muzzle. "

thats what i was taught anyway, from the pics in your sig the horse looklike a brown horse.

 

[Natalie_H]

My horse is described as brown on his passport, but his mane & tail are black - so I consider him very dark bay. There are no traces of brown on him during winter - he is totally black - but he has a brown muzzle & points during summer.

 

[dozzie]

Dark Bay
Mahogany bay
Chestnut

And Cream dun.

 

[savannahmelody]

One white grey and one cremello.
Read that as two mud coloured at the moment.

 

[amc]

Mmm I'll look into it as I would have described him as a dark bay.... I always thought that a brown horse would have a brown mane & tail ? Otherwise it would be a bay but will research it a bit as I'm now wanting to know

 

[The Virgin Dubble]

Chestnut, and a fleabitten grey (almost white in winter) with a very dark grey mane - just to be awkward.
