[End Level Farms]

Overos.

Frames Splashes Sabinos I LOVE THEM!!!.

I have my most wonderful SPLASH overo stallion.

 

[Shari]

My favorite color...... first and foremost....is a..................... Good Temperament!

Am one of those people that think a good horse has no color.

 

[jleonard]

My favorites are bay roans and buckskins. I am a tobiano lover and my dream color would be a buckskin pinto. I bred for one last year, but the mare didn't take

I do agree with Shari, my two favorite horses are my least favorite colors, appy and gray (they have won me over a little though

), go figure!

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Black is my favorite color for any pattern but as for patterns my favorite is definitely leopard or near leopard appies. I would have to say a nice blanketed appy is always nice too. Next is pintaloosas.

Then would be pintos and then solids.

colors:

Black

really rich colored silver bays not the lighter ones

Blue roans

bay roans

mahogany bays

red roans

liver chestnut

I also love a good grey not like the silver dapple ones but more towards like Egyptian king type grey.

Ok so maybe I like every color and pattern

. I just find a horse with good conformation and then decide if it is a color I can stand but generally if it is a nice enough horse I will like it regardless of color.

Shari said it.......

A beautiful horse starts with a beautiful temperament ...... then the conformation, of course. If the horse is nasty I don't care what it looks like (sort of like getting to know a person).......And if it's well put together, but still nasty? Well, it's nice to look at but I don't want to deal with it daily.....again, like a person.

I greatly prefer solid color horses but do like facial white and white feet if it's on all fours or in the back (I know, picky). I do not usually like a horse with odd eyes (one blue, one brown) but I do like partial blue eyes

My favorite colors:

• Buckskin
• Silver Dapple
• Double Dilute
• Palomino
• Grey
• Grulla / Grullo

With our mares, we have just have my favorite colors -- 5 buckskin, 3 perlino, 2 silver dapple and 1 grey-grulla

In reflection of the sentiment that the best color is a good disposition, in my opinion THE best color is actually good conformation

With all the minis and horses I have owned and handled, I actually never have run into one with a bad personality... Especially in minis, I've found a good disposition is honestly the norm but also that it's often used to "excuse away" real physical flaws that shouldn't be reproduced -- like "this stallion may not have show conformation but he's got the sweetest personality"

 

[Riverdance]

Color is the least important factor for me. Conformation is always first with me. I try not to be color blind.

Now, if I could have the conformation and then pick any color, it would have to be black. Not a washed out black, but one that was shinny and black as black can be.

Then Buckskin, palomino, bay.....

 

[luv2ridesaddleseat]

I love Grulla!

But, I'd LOVE a nicely bred Overo mare!

 

[midnight star stables]

Black (LWO+) Frame Sabino Overo.

 

[~Lisa~]

Well my favorite color is solid Chestnut or with some chrome. I do not own a mini one of those but Ravens 20 something pony is chestnut

We have 9 minis of those

My least favorite is any form of appy ironically we own 2 of those

Next on my least favorite is pintos we own 4 of those

Next least favorite color is bay we own 3 of those

Guess it goes to show I do not pick a horse by it's color

You can quickly learn to love any color on a horse when you love the horse

 

[MiLo Minis]

If I could have any colour in Miniature it would be a truly golden palomino. Not those washed out whitish yellow Isabella types or the sooty ones, but the deep, clean, burnished gold. I have not yet seen one in Minis although I had one in full size.

 

[Filipowicz Farm]

The color of horse that will always catch my eye first are Palominos and buckskins We started out with a silver Buckskin we bought as a weanling called Peanut then aquirred his dam Rip-Lin-K Golden Babe a Palomino. Now we have many horses of different colors enjoy them all

 

[Shortpig]

In a herd of horses my eyes are always drawn to the black horse in the group. I also love the liver chestnut color that is very rich with a flaxen mane and tail. Then I would have to say palaminos that are the true golden color with white manes and tails.

I also enjoy a silver dapple that is darker in color and with major dapples. They can be very striking to look at.

When owning a horse it has to have an awesome personality and be very well mannered.
