Re: what colour mini?
Yep silver dapple dun
Re: what colour mini?
Another vote.
Re: what colour mini?
looks silver grullo to me too :D
Re: what colour mini?
I agree !
Re: what colour mini?
Silver Black Dun.
Without the dapples, I might have suggested she was just Black Dun, but the dapples I have never seen, that heavy, on a Black Dun.
Re: what colour mini?
From the first photo I could buy that Fizz, but the second photo looks really silver to me... doesn't it? I don't even see the dun in the 2nd photo. Both photos were really needed in this case.
Re: what colour mini?
The second photo, were it not a Mini, I would almost have said Silver Buckskin......or just weird. :rofl
It's a Mini, c'mon!
Anyway I have to admit to prior knowledge on this one, but, even so, I have seen Minis that were weirder colours!
Re: what colour mini?
Oh I agree she's not weird... I too would have said silver buckskin. LOL
Re: what colour mini?
silver buckskin might not be that far fetched .... both parents are reg buckskin , the sires parents are reg dun and buckskin , the dams parents are reg as silver buckskin and brown
is it possible she could be a silver dunskin , the horse in this link is not dissimilar

Re: what colour mini?
Nope. Not if that first photo is her too. That's an 'aa' base for sure IMO. Although, the second photo could leave me to believe it might be silver, dun AND cream. :lol:
Re: what colour mini?
Damn, the Forum ate my post!!!
OK, trying again....
She looks a straightforward Silver Black Dun to me.
You can throw Cream into the mix if it is a possibility, and she would be Smoky Silver Black Dun :rofl
Give me her name and I'll look up what the AMHA says, if you like??
Re: what colour mini?
Hi all, I own the mare :)
Her AMHA says buckskin, but you can look her up anyway
Dreamtime Louella Buck is her name.
Re: what colour mini?
Both her parents are Buckskin according to her papers. She has Amber/brown eyes too, she is quite unusual
Sire's parents are
buckskin and dun
mothers parents are
Silver buckskin and brown.
So its possible that her mom could be a silver buckskin instead of Buckskin....
does this help ???
quote...
sure she is dun something, She produced a light creamy buckskin colt with black mane and tail with a dorsal and stips going down each of his shoulders like a X
When he clipped out he was extemely brown like her filly foal but had the light creamy muzzle.......I think ill go ahead and test her for cream, silver and is ther a dun factor test
winter coat..
Re: what colour mini?
yep, her eyes are pretty odd, here is a pic i accidentally took yesturday

Re: what colour mini?
Absolutely no doubt in my mind she's a black silver dun with that pedigree and those photos. Although I still think cream would be possible.
Re: what colour mini?
what is her filly? She has a lightish cream muzzle and cream inside her ears...
Re: what colour mini?
Call me insane (I'll accept it :mrgreen: ) but I think she's a smokey silver black. If she's not, then a crazy dark chestnut. Those legs are way too red for a non chestnut or non silver.
Re: what colour mini?
Hiya, I doubt she is red? Her father has never produced a chestnut(both his parents are black base)
And louie has never produced a chestnut(only bay/black base)
Here is her at a few days

Re: what colour mini?
Definitely definitely black base. Do you know of her eye color at birth? It looks like it could be bluey later... which isn't proof, but could indicate cream. She could easily be smokey black. The question is if silver is present. Many people would say no way... but her red legs intrigue me. However, she was pretty bleached at the time and they didn't start red... so it could just be bleached foal coat.
Re: what colour mini?
Hiya, she had greyblue eyes and now are still a greyish blue tinge to them.
Re: what colour mini?
Buckeroo bred, so def. Silver.
Ohgodohgodohgod.....I'm sorry ACC, ....I agree about the foal........I think she may be Black base with Cream hiding and Silver inhibited by the Cream....and I think she should be tested ASAP so we know!!! :rofl
Re: what colour mini?
RF: The world is coming to an end. :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
Re: what colour mini?
ok, I will get them both tested for Cream and Silver :)
Re: what colour mini?
Thank you so much, I do love a cooperative breeder!!
ACC and I will be giggling over by there in the corner, if anyone wants us. :rofl :booty :rofl
Re: what colour mini?
Hi Guys,
Im about to send away mane hairs. I thought I would send hairs away for the mare first.
What should I test her for? I was thinking of testing her for red/black factor and Agouti. Cream and Silver too.
Is this correct?
Here are updated photo's of her filly. She still has greyish eyes.
Don't think there is any silver hiding with her.

Re: what colour mini?
Yes I agree, silver, cream, agouti and black. You could test her for dun if you wanted. The filly I would only test for red and cream, everything else I think we know.
Re: what colour mini?
is ther a test for dun? there isnt with animal genetics in florida...
Re: what colour mini?
It's only at UC Davis.
Re: what colour mini?
That filly is stunning !
Re: what colour mini?
Silver Grulla IMO
