Pintos are for sure what I love best, solids just do not do it for me but

Our little Stallion just gives so much to us.

Little Rowdy

We have 3 overos, but this guy stands out

He will be trained to drive for 2012

Such beautiful horses!

I find it hard to pick just one color that I love... so, it has to be buckskin, grullo and silver dapple.

Here's one of our stallions, a buttermilk buckskin, Alvadars First Lieutenant...

And our grullo stallion, Dusty Lane Vegas Bet a Buck...

And finally, my sweet little silver dapple mare, S&DMs Sally...

[i'm among those who can't choose just one favorite color, but I'll choose just a few for this thread.

This is Magic Mist Elegant Express. I've always just loved bays of all shades, but this bright bay shade is my favorite.

I like a golden palomino (Getitia, yours is GORGEOUS! *DROOL*) Here's Magic Mist Iced in High Cotton, no clipping, not even a bridle path (hm, the previous horse was the same, you'd think I liked hairy horses or something) and fat as can be as she was on pasture 24/7 at the time. Next year I swear I will get some pictures of clipped horses!

I do very much like the buckskins. There are two new ones that I need to add to my website, and a few others that I don't have very good pictures of, but here are a few. Erica's Streakin For Bucks, smutty buckskin appy stallion:

Our Jandt's stallion, "Cowboy"

And two of the six fillies he's sired for us since we got him. Six for six fillies for us so far, such a good boy!

Well I love my bays, here is my stallion, Oneka's Devil After Dark.

I also love my appys and pintaloosas, here is my pintaloosa mare, Sarabeaus Willow.

I also love the colouring on this mare, Quarter Scales She Can Dance.

It is hard just to choose one colour as I like them all.

More than a specific color, I really (really!) like cream dilutes, espeically solid color. In our breeding and future breeding horses, two of our three stallions carry cream dilute (a smokey silver black and a smokey grey-grullo), and thirteen of our mares / fillies also carry cream (6 buckskins, 6 double dilutes, and 1 golden palomino). )... these genes worked together to give us a 3-for-3 foal crop this year of double dilutes (Buckeroo bred fillies to boot). Here are some pictures that capture what I like in cream dilute colors:

Cover Girl, one of our double bred Buckeroo granddaughters who sports golden buckskin color:

267671_10150233995528155_522573154_7356174_5723109_n.jpg


Bliss, who is a golden dappled palomino filly with Rowdy & Buckeroo lines:

Infinity, a smutty buckskin triple bred Buckeroo mare:

283215_10150236407583155_522573154_7380304_6975320_n.jpg


AND all three of our double / triple Buckeroo bred fillies from this year, Divine, Design & Delight, who are each double dilute (with some pinto and dun factor thrown in, too!):

I want to also "tack on" my two National winning stallions, Destiny and DunIT, who have but visually hide that cream dilute gene I love so much. Of course, they each played an important roll in our foal crop this season and are great baby daddies

Beautiful horses everyone! Those black pintos that everyone has pictured are just gorgeous! I love any color on a good horse but I have to say silver dapple(silver black) is my probably my top favorite one closely followed by a black pinto (even though I don't own one yet!). I love pintos period, no matter what base color they are!

Here's my silver dapple pinto Chyanne, she dapples out when clipped:

Here's my other pinto Dee- bay pinto that is!:

As much as I hate to keep an all gray/white horse clean here is my favorite girl Roxy, she's a chestnut sabino that grayed out I believe - bald face with 1 blue eye! She really shines when she's all clean!

This is a terrible picture, but I love my silver black mare. She still has some winter fuzzies in this picture, but when clipped she is such a rich, dark color with big dapples. She took a lot of firsts in solid color this year and even took a reserve Grand in open halter (in the over division and she is an under mare) pulled straight from the pasture. Love her-and don't tell anyone, but she is appy bred top and bottom

This little buckskin filly stayed her beautiful creamy color even as she aged. Most of her sire's foals were sooty so darker. But this girl's color was so lovely.

My gorgeous 'old man', Phantom is a nice rich dark bay plus he is tovero and I am a sicker for toveros. He has some neat face markings. Here he is hanging out in the pasture (excuse wire in background-that was not in his pen).

Phantom8.jpg


And this mare, although i'm not a fan of red, I love this mare's color. This is her in her winter fuzzies still, but when she sheds she has the most beautiful deep red color I have ever seen.

This boy is by far my favorite though

Well my favorite color is a really rich black with sharp sharp white markings
default_wub.png
but sadly I don't own anything close to that so my favorite out of MY guys is

Sox my red-dun

He's done well in Solid color and I hope next year he will do well too

He has a really pretty mane and tail filled with all sorts of colors like silver!

Love his dorsal stripe

OK, for the black and white fans - I admit I also really like a minimal white black and white pinto like this one: Some judges seem to really appreciate the white socks and tail, the mixed mane and the minimal markings too. Aloha Acres Fashion By Magic, aka "Princess".

My faviorite color has to be a bronze smutty buckskin. OMG would love to own one, very rare from what I've seen in minis. I think I saw in person 1 that I could have got but dang it I sit on my hands and didn't bid, still kicking myself with that one. My other would have to be a deep dark red chestnut with chrome. Other colors I like are distinct dapples, silvers, and greys.

I like pintos, I own 2, but really like the striking solid colors. This one is my faviorte with one that I have. My boy Red who is a liver chestnut. As a baby he was bright Red but then he turned darker. But I love his color and yes I even love his faded mane and tail, I probably wouldn't like it dark, its like blonde highlights lol.

Jamie -- what is a bronze smutty buckskin? I've got all kinds of buckskin color variation and am trying to picture what that particular flavor looks like... wondering if one of my fillies is maybe? You got me curious!!! Are any of these girls?

Jill yours is pretty close, Infinity is closer to what I like. What I'm talking about is just a smutty buckskin but they have this really bronze looking color its just so beautiful. I would love to have something like this as a mini.

Here's my chestnut with chrome!
