Show me your SILVER BUCKSKINS

[ClickMini]

I just bought a really cool little silver buckskin colt. I am curious to see some others. Here is mine, just to get the topic started.

Do yours change color over the course of the year? Did they start their lives lighter color, then darken as they mature? I am having dreams of what this color might look like when he is all grown up.

These are my two silver buckskin girly girls. I love the color

Here's our silver buckskin filly Trixie, her dam was a silver bay and her sire is buckskin,who I believe is silver buckskin also but not tested:

Newborn:

3 weeks:

Weanling:

Weanling winter coat:

Yearling:

Now as a 2 year old:

I love her color now

Here's her sire, his black points look "washed out/faded" which makes me think he too carries silver

you guys, every time i see these pictures it makes me want a miniature horse even more.!!!!

Thanks to those who posted, I think my colt is going to look most like your mare Flirt. Very pretty!

 

[ClickMini]

Well I guess the color must be pretty rare! Usually people are all over these color threads!

It is amazing to me the variability within the color, from very light to nearly "true" buckskin. Jill, I think your two girls should be driven as a pair! They are so beautiful. I do believe that is the direction my colt is heading. Here he is as a foal:

I love your new horse

Very nice

Here is my silver Buckskin Jedi. He's actually pretty dark I think, he pretty much looks like a regular buckskin in his winter coat but his mane and tail are light. His points are always very dark, even when clipped. I LOVE his color

Ok, I just love my boy

Jedi is sired by Parmela's Spirit and is a paternal brother to Jill's Flirt pictured on this thread. This pic was just after we got him, he's even darker now.

This is my gelding (still a stallion in the picture) I believe he is a silver buckskin since all his points are chocolate rather than black and he has amber eyes but he hasn't been tested to prove my theory.

P;ease excuse his chubbiness, he spent the winter being a companion for a couple of weanlings and had free choice hay, he's not quite so chunky now)

Here is our silver buckskin, Echos Golden Arrogance or Ari as we call him.

I love buckskins too

But unfortunately Gypsys mane does tend to look sunbleached because of her silver dilution, so i dye it for big shows.
