Haha it sounds super rare doesn’t it? I’ll say it again, Hershey is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

Oh thanks! That’s so cool, I’ll look into those!

Thank you! You’re in Alberta too? I would love to take you up on that invitation sometime!! I love meeting fellow small equine lovers, haha!

I would LOVE a horse that color, especially if it was a pinto! Pintos are my favorite haha, I love buckskin pintos, palomino pintos and also grulla pintos. I love all pintos but I think those three are my favourite. I find it so cool that we see silver in minis more than big horses, gives me...

Interesting! Lol I say that for everything but I’m getting a lot of info about color here, and loving every second of it!! If anyone else has a horse they’re not sure what color it is, go ahead and post it on this thread if you’d like!! I love learning about color in horses!

Hmmm interesting, after you said about the contrast I figured that’s what she might be. And then after hearing Capriole say about the wild bay…I looked it up and it definitely looks like her! I think probably next year I will do the genetic test on her and see what it says!

Cool! What do you think of my mare Spirit’s stripe? Would you say it’s contrast that bays have or a true dorsal stripe?

He’s gorgeous!! I’m starting to think maybe a silver bay as well. Someone told me about a place where you can send some mane or tail hairs that you pull (make sure to have the root for the DNA) and send it in and they’ll give you the color. I’m going to do it with Arrow. UC Davis and Animal...

Interesting! My previous Welsh/Arab mare had the white ticking too, Spirit doesn’t seem to have any though

How is your mare, Elizabeth? Any changes since Monday? I’m super excited to follow along and be an “Auntie” lol. I’ve been “stalking” all the mare stare threads and it made me excited! One day I want to breed a mini and get a foal as well. But for now, I’ll have to settle for following along and...

I’ll have to look up wild bay! Haha I really like Brandy but not sure if it would fit the mare as I’m 99% sure I’m going to stick with Arrow for the gelding. I have been thinking about Azura for her though, because of her blue eye!

Those are super cute!!

Interesting! Yes actually my mare only shows the black around her fetlocks in winter

Interesting! I’m really new to colors myself so I’m not sure if I can help, he looks like a flaxen liver chestnut to me but I’m not sure about the stripe. There are lots of experienced people here so I’m sure someone could help you out!

Lol I didn’t tell you that because I don’t drink. They came with those names, I hate alcohol lol

Here are some photos of my “bay mare” Spirit lol. In the first one she’s looking up. Also in this first one if you zoom in you can see her dorsal stripe. the other horse is my gelding, Baccardi. He is a natural jumper and can jump higher than my previous big horse! This is her dorsal stripe...

Sure, let me find one. She doesn’t have any “chrome” to speak of but she has white/light points as opposed to a bay’s black points

Interesting! I’ve never heard of that. The minis are coming next week so I’m going to get some hairs and send them in for a test! I’m hoping to do my current mare as well too because on her papers it says she’s bay, but she looks more buckskin as she doesn’t have a black muzzle and has a lot of...

Also I’m in Canada so I’m wondering if there is anywhere in Canada that is reliable for genetic color testing?

Yeah it looks like possibly sooty in some of those examples. It is super interesting! It blows my mind but I want to learn all I can!!
