What colour would YOU say he is??

[Bedlam]

Brown

 

[slingo1uk]

liver chestnut

 

[haycroft]

i'd say brown but as hes only a year and half his colouring may change

 

[Enfys]

Here they would probably hedge their bets and call him a smokey black!

 

[Tia]

Grulla. Or in your language, dun.

 

[itsme123]

It's brown.

 

[Daphnelia]

Brown with bleached mane and tail, my gelding has the same effect

 

[Nudibranch]

Liver chestnut, but I am guessing he was born as black. My standard shettie is the same and I have seen a lot of the classic "black" shetlands with the same sun bleaching (apparently a lot of show people rug the poor beasties 24/7 all year round to keep them black).
BTW I lost my passports and had to get general ones - the (black/liver chestnut) pony I just mentioned now has a passport stating bay, as does her clearly piebald best mate!!!

 

[Tia]

I disagree. Your horse, SP, looks bay, the OP's pony has a dorsal stripe, is smokey black and therefore based on the photos given, her pony certainly looks grulla to me.

If OP gives us the colour of the dam and sire then people would be able to give her a more accurate answer.

 

[Daphnelia]

My horse is bay... I meant he has a sun bleached mane and tail as well..

Brown or bay-brown, but your photos are not too clear.

Defo dark liver chestnut. My boy is a lighter liver chestnut but same basic colour.

 

[LCobby]

Brown, although second one could be liver chestnut.

 

[Spot_the_Risk]

Now you've said dorsal stripe, I'm changing my mind to dun...

 

[the watcher]

QR
without seeing the updated description, I would have said liver chestnut without a doubt, but if there is a true dorsal stripe under there then the correct answer could be chocolate dun. What is the breeding?

BTW I'm not sure that grullo = dun, isn't that just buckskin without the stripe?

 

[hussar]

If he were an Icelandic, I'd say blue dun ...

 

[palomino_pony]

Whats the answer? What colour does the owner think he is?

She knows. She was saying that the mini horse was brown with bleached mane and tail, and that her horse has a bleached mane- Not that her horse was brown as well.

That is how I read it.

I would have said brown.

I can't see any stripes but the pics aren't too clear either so i'm sure that would make a difference

my old horse Glory (now RIP) looks quite similar and we just called her brown lol. She looks like a scruff in these pics but they were the best to show you the mane hehe

sometimes she looked black though!

 

[burtie]

Liver chestnut from the second photo, but as other have said the parents colours would help.

 

[MurphysMinder]

Now I would have called Glory a liver chestnut, just to totally confuse things. Ditto the OP pony, although does look more dun in the first pic.

 

[MagicMelon]

Id say dark bay. But then the mane and tail suggest liver chestnut?

 

[Chunkie]

Chocolate Dun

Aww poor little Glory I made her a boring brown LOL xx

 

[Chumsmum]

I said dun from the first photo, not sure from the second. The dorsal stripe still makes me think dun.

 

[Abbeygale]

I'd say brown!!!
