hopefully I strike oil or maybe win the lottery(which would require me to actually start playing...) in the next year or two and have enough money to breed to him. after miss Honey proves herself worthy of having another foal that is :) he produces not only chocolate palominos, but stunning fire-ant red sorrels! if I bred Honey to him I would hope for either his gorgeous color, or a chocolate pally :)

I don't know. I think you can have a favorite without actually owning one... without having to question whether it really is your favorite or not. Most people look at personality and ability first, then color- so it would make sense to not often have the exact color of horse that you want.

Personally, I have chestnuts. Or...atleast I thought I did. But what are my two horse's colors? Chestnut and Chestnut Tobiano xD Now I'm rather fond of it, and am actually hoping to get a chromey chestnut out of my mare when she foals.

One color I do highly dislike on any horse though is bay, unless they're very dark or very chromey. I love my trainee Noah to death but I hate his coloring.

A color that I absolutely love though? Pretty much anything dark with a bald face or a non fading black <3

my two:


the day I got him (sorry he's so gross, he came from a bad situation)




I have to say though that I LOVE our shetland pony Myss Pony's coloring though <3

haha, she kind of does doesn't she? She's actually grulla though, under all of that frame and other goodness xD we had her tested. She stays the same color year round, unlike rainbow horse Stella!

I think it's too hard to say what colour I like as I can change my mind like the weather. I always dreamed of owning a grey Arabian horse as a child. I have never owned one although I liked one and ended up buying my sorrel and white APHA gelding instead. Why? Who knows? I love his red coloration and love the white when he's clean. But, when he's not...arggg! I love the red tones in my Half Arabian and his chrome too. My black Canadian mare is like liquid metal when she isn't faded by the sun. She can be such a stunner! There isn't a colour I dislike.

I love a a bay paint horse. My cousin has a half Arabian bay paint - love the black, bay and white - he is gorgeous.

I also LOVE a black and white gypsy horse. I love dark gray dappled horses - sorry they don't stay that way. I think true blue roans are absolutely gorgeous.

Love buckskins - dark golden ones with black points and frosting on the mane. Love sorrels with tons of chrome and I love coppery bays.

The silver dapple horses are stunning with the flaxen silver mane and tail.

I now have a coppery bay horse tha has the tiniest of white in his forehead - Sarge has a gorgeous metallic coat and I also have a lighter colored palomino with a beautiful blaze down his face.

Yes yes!

I'm a sucker for anything that can be called "grulla." Of course, a gray arab sounds lovely.... <3

And Palominos... Mmmmm...

Gotta love primitive markings though.

Want:

Um...tiger dun isn't a color, just an FYI. A "dark dun with black points" is a bay dun, but dun may affect any color it chooses. Bay dun is typically referred to as just dun, chestnut dun is called a red dun, and black dun is a grullo. Any others are referred to as their base color + dun.

That buckskin is not a "tri-color"
I'm not actually sure if that was what they were called. That's just what I've called them due to the fact that they are black, buckskin(or whatever that color is called), and white.

I just tried to think of my favorite color, and I have no idea. I love red bays, blacks, certain greys, palominos, buckskins... okay, I'll stop before I name every horse color there is :/

My lease pony is a dappled buckskin though, and I think he's gorgeous :)

I think my favorite color has got to be silver blacks! Black horse with a white mane?! Gotta love it!! Especially in drafts, with the silver feathers <3 I could just watch them forever xD

What I actually have, a black mare and a silver bay pony xD
My pony:


My mare:


The only color I don't care for is grays x.x I love drafts but what are they ALL gray?! :p I also don't care much for chestnuts, but a shined up one can be lovely.

Silver Dapple Black Is my favorite color because its uncommon &
Thats What color my horse is but I didnt know the color existed untill I got my Gelding. I would Love a Dun or a roan.

I really don't like bays & Ive always thought bays Were just plain & I like chestnuts but they are too common. Even I Dislike bays I used to own one.
For Some reason All the horses that are usually offered to me for cheap are always Bay or Chestnut lol

For some reason I like the browns-that-look-like-bays-but-aren't-because-of-the-lighter-areas, bays, buckskin, duns and chestnuts, I think they look western. Plus I don't mind a true black and blacks that have a white blanket over their rump!

Here are some horses that show the color I like that I found off Google...

Horse Bridle Halter Rein Animal sports


Horse Painting Steppe Grassland Ecoregion


Horse Bridle Mammal Rein Trail riding
