Your favorite color, among your minis

[targetsmom]

I am constantly amazed by what I learn on this forum! I have to agree that JMS Miniatures photo of a smutty buckskin is GORGEOUS. And Getitia's sooty palomino is also gorgeous, so I had to do some research to see what the difference is between "smutty" and "sooty" and the site I found says they are the same.

And from this description, it sounds like our mare Sox's 2007 foal SRF Glamour Girl (color tested as buckskin) may be a smutty buckskin, as she doesn't look at all like a "normal" buckskin! So now I wonder if our mare carries the smutty gene or if it came from the stallion... Oh well, this is fascinating.

Anyone else notice how popular DAPPLES seem to be???

Something I've learned about "smutty" or "sooty" is that if a horse carries it and passes it along, they don't always pass it. Some foals will be "normal" golden buckskin without that smutty look.

I have to say my favorite color is any shade of bay (silver, black and everything in between)...and if there is chrome, that is just the icing on the cake for me!

Here are a few pics of my bays...

Well, I only have 3 minis. Can you guess my favorite color? These are my stair-steps. ( Little A, Medium, and B).

I LOVE buckskin and my beautiful palomino blessed me by passing his cream gene onto his first foal to give me one

:wub

Now I really want a blue or strawberry roan!

There isn't a color that I don't like, but I have to say that my eyes choose bay for me. All colors get me but the temperament of a bay, blood bay, black bay, silver bay, doesn't matter, really gets me. Romeo wasn't the smallest foal born here but he eeked his way into my heart from day 1. I love his color and pattern and temperament. The temperaments of his sire and grand dam are especially lovable, and they are also black/bay.

This is my yearling smutty buckskin filly. It took awhile to figure out her true color since she has such a glaring stripe down her back. Her mother has the smutty gene and shows it in summer, and her face mask was another indicator. And my Lily is so pretty with her colors changing with the seasons. Both have dapples year round now.









We have three other bay pintos and I just love that color and pattern, but I realize I love any color in pinto.

I cant pick just one colour but I like dark horses with blue eyes , I love spotties although I dont have one at the minute , I love all dilutes ...buckskins palominos , silvers and of course I love my Absolut and the changing shades throughout the year

Love Getitia's dapple. I find dapples very appealing but it seems they fade or come and go at will. At least my dapple, maybe because of the Appy in his background, constantly changes.

Roxy's mom if you want a silver black I've got one for you, Simply Awesome. This guy is under 32" and just gelded 9 next spring and he's for sale on my site. He does it all as far as showing. He drives best in western pleasure and that's just way to slow for me.

As for color my favorite has to be black and white. He's not my favorite HORSE but he is my favorite COLOR. Here's my "old man" - 24 next spring. Mr. Chips.

I love buckskins

But don't own any. Like my boys color my bay roan could almost look like a buckskin

or not ^^

The little guy is bay... something. But like his grayish color
