Yes I know what matters most and all that BUT I Can't help it! I LOVE BUCKSKINS! Hence my Shammy and while we're at it, in a perfect world where I was younger and I had a farm full of minis I'd be looking for those true Blue roans, Black and red roans to go with my Buckskins, Buttermilk/creamy buckskins,silver buckskins and red? Buckskins!

Don't want much do I, so for my fantasy farm you can see I'd love anything with points :bgrin

Yikes I didn't plan to post on picture gallery but guess it's an approperiate place.

Make my day with pictures to fill my fantasy barn and make an old lady happy? Thanks..here's MY love and soulmate Shammy.(As if you haven't seen her before LOL)

I used to own a beautiful bay roan stallion I showed and drove, had him gelded and he now lives in AZ. Right now, I do have a red roan, but he is a sabino roan, not a true roan.

Oh Jill I'd love to see him if you have pictures:) This might be fun! Maxine
 
Here he is

He's actually my first home bred foal. We're going to take current "posed" pictures soon, as he's now 4yo!!! He is red, with a flaxen mane and tail and white sabino hairs all over his body and head. He's about 31" tall and is out of my former stallion, who is now one of my geldings, Derby and my silver pinto mare, Lou.

Thanks, Maxine! Skipper is a character. He and his daddy are some of the smartest horses I have ever known. Back when Skipper was alone for being weaned (I had no other foal then), he made up his own games including "Bucket Basketball" where he'd pick up his toy balls and drop them in his buckets. He also would throw on the drama when he was "learning" to stand tied but only if he saw that I could see him. When I would peak w/o him knowing I was watching him, he'd stand there quiet as could be.

Maxine, I am a roan fanatic! I love roans! I have two true bay roans, one is a pinto, and now I just bought me a silver bay roan and a baby filly red roan! Both really true roans!

I have a special treat for you! I just saw that Liz got the photos from our photo shoot up...wanna help me pick out the best one of my bay roan stallion, Esprit? :lol:

The first pics on that page are of my silver stallion, but if you scroll down a bit you will see my roany boy. He is on several pages worth, so happy clicking!!! Give me the #s of your favorites. D

Here is a cool pic of Esprit at his first show this year, one of the fun things about roans is you never know what color you are really gonna have from one month to another!

LOL! I see I am not the only roan fanatic! And Kendra resolved a question for me about silver dapple roans! Would love to see a clearer pic of that one...

Oh, I love little BEE! How pretty and feminine is she!

Maxine, I also love your buckskin, in your original post. One of the most fantabulous things about minis is how many COLORS you can get!

I have quite a variety of colour in my barn: black, black pinto, grey, silver black, silver black pinto, silver bay, black (blue) roan, dark bay (looks blue) roan, palomino, buckskin, dun, bay pinto, silver buckskin, silver buckskin appy, perlino and I'm "boarding" a bay. Grew up with Morgans, which, of course come mostly in basic bay, chestnut and black. I like this variety with the minis! :bgrin

My blue colt. Hoping to finally get some good pics of him at Nationals this year!

Enchantress-LOVE your blue roan filly!!!!

: She's gorgeous and my favorite color!

Here's my old girl...a red roan that produced almost all roan foals. Love this old gal. (her granddaughter is Buck Ons La Vida Loca if you know her...and another daughter is Angie's previous girl, ARC Rosie)

Rosalee-left.jpg


This has our icky old barn in the background...sorry! When she was born her red roan coloring was definitely more apparent. It seemed to fade on her with age! But she was a true roan. Produced lots of them to none roan stallions.

Rosalee1.jpg


A daughter of hers: ARC Rowena that is actually a blonde dun roan (light light red dun with roaning). Can't really see her roaning as she's so light but up close you can really see it on her rump and spread through her dorsal stripe.

Here is a black roan appy stallion

And lastly this little mare was a chestnut roan pinto. I wish I had better pictures! When she shed off she was a definite roan.
