Horse colours: Names and pictures

[AelwinAlba]

One of her foals was born silver and didn't start to varnish until 4-5 so there may be silver hidden in there too. It's hard to tell for sure.

Are you talking about Silver Passion?

Yeah... she doesn't carry Silver either. That's also a case of varnish roan.

My guy here is silver buckskin:



And that's him at 0.5 yrs:


And at 1 yr old:


See the difference? :)

Silver is dominant and only visible on black-based coats, so we can safely say that Adagio does not carry Silver.

[AelwinAlba]

There is actually Silver in her lines on her dams side pretty far back in there. Though I recognize that Adagio does not carry it and is Varnish it was fun to see if there was actually any in her lines. (like 10 generations back but it's so overshadowed by the 10 cream varnishes)

[AelwinAlba]

I did breed a lovely silver dapple black grade once though, he looked just like the horse they use for the Premium marker. I was very sad when he passed.

[Djeraya]

But I don't think it would be that difficult to get silver into Arabians tho. (..)you could conceivably get purebred Silver Arabians.

That's true, but it wasn't done frequently like with champagne and appaloosa. Personally I didn't see silver-arabs for stud or on the market, just once in a pedigree. And now I saw, Nyraeia also has some of them

Thanks so much for this really helpful guide!

This is my horse. At first I called her rose gray, but then I looked in your guide and thought she might be a bay roan. Am I right?

She is grey on a bay base. As she gets older she will become more white/grey.
