Esoteric's Shadowy - grey American Saddlebred mare. Not rare, exactly, but definitely uncommon!

Vandy's Little Miss Muffet - Buckskin silver Miniature mare. Doing a fair impression of champagne!

Will He Reflect - Dun (buckskin, maybe, can't tell) Appaloosa stallion. Love this "dapple roan" pattern! I think they keep roaning out though!

Texas Ranger - very cool bay appy Mule gelding.

Gazelle - chestnut sabino pinto New Forest Pony mare.

Mirabell - buckskin New Forest Pony mare with a blue eye! Minimal splash, maybe?

Boneco - bay Lusitano stallion. Check out that coat texture!

Champagne Moon Dunit - amber champagne dun Quarter Horse colt.

Champagne Cat Vanzi - gold champagne Quarter Horse filly, same sire as the above colt!

Unnamed - bay silver roan Rocky Mountain Horse stallion.

Khoda Khrome NB - bay pinto Arabian colt. Check out that flaxen mane and tail! I wonder if his legs are that light, or if he has four socks. Can't see well enough! More pictures here. Lots of cool horses to check out on that page - Sundae Khartoon is another example of a sabino apron face!

Grand Touch Of Silver - black sabino Tennessee Walker stallion. Check out that light tail!

New Lake's Call Me Crook - bay tobiano Tennessee Walker gelding. Check out that thin little off-to-the-side stripe! Wonder if it's actually the remaining edge from a big blaze with a reverse blaze on top...

Cowgirl In Pearl - palomino pearl Paint filly.

Vanzies Painted Titan - gold champagne overo Paint filly.

Dually - amber champagne tobiano Paint gelding. Same sire as the above filly!

Classic Acres Arc O Clyde - cool stripy red dun Mule gelding.

No name - possible amber cream dun (bay + cream + dun + champagne) Quarter Horse filly.

Duke - black Tennessee Walker gelding (no pedigree listed). Cool set of markings! The edges look sabino, but you don't usually see that kind of "apron face" with sabino alone. Sometimes Clydesdales are similarly patterned though!

Firecrest Santa Fe - grey Morgan stallion.

Little Mist Twist - sorrel rabicano (patchy!) Quarter Horse mare.

Annas Robin Echo - bay frame Paint mare. Probably just-frame, which isn't very common. And check out her teeny face marking!

Cookie Monster - bay German Riding Pony mare. A breed I find interesting. It actually seems to be something of an umbrella registry, for a variety of crossbreds. This pretty mare is a Welsh x Oldenburg cross.

Chief - gold champagne Tennessee Walker gelding.

Napoleon - sorrel pinto Miniature Horse colt. Check it out, he's got little white patches on his clipped coat. Not visible at all in his winter coat. Hmmm...

Wakanda - black Nokota Horse mare.

SLR Blue J's Donner - blue roan Belgian stallion!! I suspect he's actually brown. And he looks to have frosty roan. This doesn't mean he's not frosty roan + pointed roan (dark-headed, or "true" roan) however. Whatever he is, he's awfully cool! More pictures here.

Joses Hot Chili - bay rabicano (brindled!) Quarter Horse mare.

Kayenta - cool dark palomino Morgan mare.

Smoked Gold - buckskin Thoroughbred stallion. Pedigree here.

Princess Noble - sorrel Haflinger filly. Says she "will have a curly mane and tail". What's up with that? Now I'm going to be looking extra hard at Haflingers!

B Bar Diamond - chestnut Suffolk Punch mare.

Roscoe - cool leopard appy spotted Mule gelding.

Calliope Bug - dark buckskin, or maybe smoky brown Quarter Horse mare.

Ripley - bay blanket Grade gelding. He has a blue eye. Sometimes blue eyes are subtle. Sometimes they aren't. Ain't he cool?

Jules Fancy Kid - minimal splash Quarter Horse filly.

Spectacular Image - black tobiano Chincoteague Pony stallion.

Jubilee Dazzler Notorious - black Canadian Horse mare. That first pic is a great example of how faded a black can get, especially in winter coat! Interestingly enough, she is registered as grullo. No dun markings though. Some black foals are born a silvery color with countershading, might have been the case with this mare.

Muddys Willow Oak - bay Quarter Horse filly with roany "mismarks" on her side.

Desert Countrys Golden Pixie - Missouri Foxtrotter mare. Listed as gold champagne, and she might be. I don't see it in her pedigree though, and there are more than a few "pink-skinned palomino" Missouri Foxtrotters that test negative for champagne. So I'm not really sure what to call her!

Ballabeg Dixie - cool roany sabino Clydesdale filly with a couple neat dark patches.

Misty's Storm - palomino tobiano Chincoteague Pony colt.

Little Giants Joshua - black Clydesdale stallion with a cool pinto pattern!

Morgan Dun N Stone - perlino dun champagne Quarter Horse colt!

Chippito's Beautyful Colour - cool stripy roan (like Catch A Bird!) Miniature Horse!

Color Dictionary -this is beyond cool, a translation page for horse colors in different languages!!

Siglavy Bana-9 - grey Lipizzan stallion who also happens to be heterozygous for grey, heterozygous for ROAN, and has at least one "e"! I've died and gone to horse color geek heaven!! Check out the other pages for pics of his foals!

Standardbreds - a quartet of colorful broodmares - a buckskin, and three tobianos (one of them roan!)

Zennie's Fabiola (fifth horse down) - Not for sure, but this little guy almost looks more like a bloody shoulder-marked grey, than an appaloosa. Hmm... And what is he, a miniature Knabstrupper? How cool is that! Once more, lots of other neat horses on the page!

Lil Ruf Expresso - super dark buckskin (smoky brown, maybe) Quarter Horse gelding. No pedigree listed.

Just One Smart Look - chestnut blanket Appaloosa gelding, with a disconnected appy spot that could be confused for a pinto spot. Conversely, some appies with pinto spots get regular registry!
