| How do get started in other things? I would just go to some local free shows. We have them around there, and I took my lazy, cow-hocked gelding there I used to have. It was fun, since there was no registration fee. It was out first time. I wasn't expecting to win, I just thought it would be fun =]
Anyway, that's what I would do to get started, then you go to bigger, and bigger shows and more events =] |

As for the color, I would go with a more lilac or lavender color but even a darker purple would be stunning on her and really bring out her blue eyes. | Awww, thanks, and finally it seems I got a cheap horse with decent confo, lol. As for her color, she is actually a Perlino, they have the more darker mane and tail and also their points on their legs are darker. I guess cremellos have a white mane and tail. Oh and she is a paint but it is really really hard to detect her white spots, haha. To be registered with regular APHA papers she had to be shaved in some areas just to prove the white on her.
Yah I think some kind of purple would definitely go great on her, now the hard part is just finding everything that matches well together in the same color purple, haha. |

I am not really a people person and I cringe in crowds. So the work on doing that stuff has to be with me and most likely not so much the horse. My husband does all our grocery shopping and stuff just because being around ppl just gives me chills down my spine, lol.
I mean it is bad. I have always just been around animals and I avoid ppl when I can. Now, it seems to have controlled alot of things and it really sux so I am trying to overcome that fear. I am starting with my daughter because I would never ever want her to end up like me, therefore I have her in gymnastics, etc.
Soooooooo I will attempt to go to shows but when ppl talk to me in person, I just start fumbling my words, its not that I am afraid, it's just that I have a true dislike for ppl in general, well in person that is (I just don't trust them), haha, the internet is fine, I feel great on here.  I know, call me weird but we all have our quirks. Haha. |

Horses: 0 | Perlino is a double dilute bay, cremello is a double dilute chestnut, and smokey cream is a double dilute black. You cannot always tell them apart by looks, they can look VERY similar. But generally, if the mane, tail and points are darker, chances are it is a perlino. I have a mini one, and because I'm such a color genetic freak I just had to have her tested to know for sure that she is perlino lol :)
I think a dark purple would look stunning on her :) I also like a nice bold blue due to their blue eyes :) This is kinda the shade I'm thinking in purple: Pretty New Purple Diamond Stone Show Halter Horse Tack - eBay (item 220504282429 end time Nov-08-09 17:46:34 PST) |

| Wow, that dark purple is GORGEOUS, I like the halter itself also.  !!
When I got Halo I did so much studying up on the genetics thing and I think the cremello and perlino genetics makes more sense and is easier to remember than any other colors for me, lol.
Thanks CheyAut. :) Oh and your perlino mini is flippen gorgeous. I just LOVE perlinos and cremellos. |
