Guide to (Un)Official CS Horse Names {OUTDATED}

[Velveteen Hound.]

- red roan
- dapple grey
- true black

At least as I see them.

This colour has several different names. I've always called it silver dapple =/

Nice guide, though I prefer 'Stained glass' for the 'Tile' horses :3
No, but these are all fine. ;]

Yes, Flaxen Chestnut. No Silver Dapple. ^^

I think it's too dark for just flaxen chestnut... If it is flaxen, then flaxen liver chestnut.

Actually this horse most relates to a seal brown horse. also, what is the base color for the light grey/brown one? i always wanna say flaxen but thats deffinitely wrong.

I said seal brown in my last post too xD I've always called it silver dapple brown, so now I think it's silver dapple seal brown.

Wow, it seems like there're tons of horse colors XD Makes me kinda happy I'm a cat girl instead, easier to figure out cat coats X3
So what do we agree on that one? Silver dapple something? X3

Yes horses have loads of colors xD I vote for Silver dapple brown
Or maybe it's an idea to ask Yulynh what color she calls it?

I think it's your basic silver dapple (Z gene) on a black horse. The Z gene dilutes the black pigment, leaving the red, which makes a more uniform brown on a black base but you would still see a difference in leg vs body color in a bay horse. That silver dapple site linked earlier is great, except they fail to show a black silver dapple full body shot. D'oh! I like this chart, but of course they chose very dark pictures: http://members.pcu.net/moonridgemorgans/silver%20dapple%20gene.jpg

When silver dapples began to be recognized in the Morgan breed, they did a very good job of studying and documenting the color. http://www.morgancolors.com/silverdapple.htm

Another pretty good explanation of silver (with pictures): http://www.dilutes.iinet.net.au/silver_register.htm

Or just simply google Rocky Mountain horse as that color is a trademark of the breed.

It could possibly be a silver dapple on a seal or brown horse, because they can be impossible to distinguish by appearance alone, but as they say - when you hear hoof beats think horses not zebras.

Also, this horse:

I would call a chestnut sabino due to the high white socks/large white nose markings. The coat color appears diluted due to the type of roaning (mixing of white hairs in with the base color) that is caused by the sabino gene. Example here: http://www.animalgenetics.us/Sabino1.htm. The roaning caused by sabino can be concentrated in patches or uniform over the entire body and legs.

A red roan is the roan gene (R) on a bay base here: http://www.barrelsandbulls.com/images/red-roan-body.jpg
True roan is sometimes called "dark headed roan" because it leaves the color alone on the head and lower legs, and only intermingles white hairs throughout the coat on the body.

A roan chestnut is usually referred to as a strawberry roan which you can see here: http://tashanorpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/red-roan2.jpg. Again, note the head and legs are dark.

Never posted here, but does anyone know when the october horses/ponies (and other animals for that matter) will be posted in the Wiki? I name by animals by the "Official" names so people can see what they are trading for. October is a big blank...Any ideas? Thank you so much!

October is actually done but it needs to be approved by a moderator before anybody can see it^^ And I don't know when the moderators approve wiki-stuff.

[Sorren Fey]

We would if we knew how. lol
We have to wait until Nick is back.

[Minimanta]

Ah, yes you definitely need to know how XD


Anyway, are we calling the November horses and ponies something yet? Like the overall name for them. How about Pottery Ponies and Eventing Horses?

[rhoades]

I think Pottery Ponies works.
But for the horses, I would suggest Sport Horses - since its Show Jumping, Eventing, Dressage, and probably a few other disciplines since there are still a few second stages left
