I don't know about rare colors really. In general I'd think double dilutes are relatively uncommon.
A black horse is black. It cannot turn brown, as brown is a completely different genetic color. Many black horses have coats that fade to a brownish color in the sun, but that's normal and it doesn't make the horse any less black.
Horses don't just turn brown they are born brown however no black is not rare. Posted via Mobile Device
Okay. I have heard on here that they are. Even if they are born brown, but look black, you can still see them changing colour into the colour they were born. That is what I was meaning.
Then they are brown not black and often you can tell by their foal coat wether they are brown or black. Either way no I don't consider black rare. Posted via Mobile Device
I have a black QH. I'm know that's not a rare color.
I have never seen a silver QH though.
Does your qh have white or is it purely black with no markings? I've always been told a TRUE black horse with no other markings is rare. Weather it's true or not-who knows. Haha Posted via Mobile Device
