I've actually had the pleasure of owning some of my favorite colors and they are the inspiration for two of my lines. My DP line and my Copper Flame line. The only sentimental color I don't have a line for yet is a Fleabitten gray. I don't even know if that color is possible in game. My Fleabitten mare I called my "prayer horse". As a kid I wanted a horse so bad but my dad was in the navy and we moved a lot. My parents told me to pray and be specific and save money and maybe one day I could get one. I was very specific like they told me to be and prayed for a white and brown spotted horse. No joke 2 weeks later we got a letter from my grandparents. They had surprised everyone and bought 40 acres in Florida and wanted everyone to come move and live on the property. They had also sent a picture and bought all the grandkids two horses that would be waiting for us. One was my fleabitten gray mare named Cocoa. It's funny how certain colors just stick with you and bring you warm fuzzy feelings.

She is so cute!

Thanks for sharing fj. :)

Honestly, at this point, I'd take anything. :P
But excluding some heterozygous nexus I have, here are some variations on two themes:

The Bays:



The Grays:



Obviously, they're not gray genes, just generally gray colored. I'd like a mouse gray because of a certain fictional horse from a series I started to name all of my foundations by. Obviously I got overrun by foundations, and I don't think there are enough names for them all. :P

Not boring at all KerredansCorral black is my favorite real life horse color.

Probably my dream horse would be a golden buckskin or buckskin dun (love the zebra barring on the legs) appendix quarter horse (Quarter horse X Thoroughbred). Since I now live in sunny subtropical Queensland, this would actually also be a practical choice--light enough to not need sun sheets during the summer, hardy enough to deal with the climate. Because of that whole skin cancer Capitol of the world thing, I would want one with no white markings....especially nothing around the eyes or on the nose! But I am a sucker for a crooked star and stripe...

interestingly, this reminds me I haven't really started a buckskin line.....would someone please take all my hbs and save me from myself? I need a HJ banker....

LOL Cheers. :)

FJ, fleabitten happens in the game and is the reason I started a grey line. I haven't quite figured out which ones grey out white (homozygous?) and which one's grey out fleabitten, but I will after running this line for a while. :)
But, this mare was one of my best.

Moon, LOVE!! She's soooo adorable. I want a mini so bad! I told my husband that our next dog is going to be a mini that lives in the house part time :D

Fj--that is awful! I hope those people stayed safe and that mare finally found peace...

I have owned a quarter pony (flea bitten grey) and an off the track thoroughbred (blood bay), but in between them I leased an appendix named Phoenix. He was a big, rangy dappled dark bay with lots of chrome. My trainer's daughter bought him out of a back yard for a dollar as a show jumping prospect and he was pretty wild/unhandled when he came to the farm. He did run over the daughter at one point--knocked her over and trampled her when she was leading him in from the field. I could do anything with him--he would follow me around like a puppy. He taught me a ton about jumping and keeping my hands out of a horse's mouth while maintaining contact over fences. After I bought Cheers, Phoenix was ridden by another girl at the farm. She wasn't as brave as me and the partnership wasn't as smooth. One day he was out in the front field with his turn out herd and my trainers husband was out bush hogging on the tractor. A summer storm was coming in and everyone was out bringing in the horses when a bolt of lightning traveling ahead of the storm clouds hit Phoenix and killed him. It was really awful but we were always grateful it didn't hit Vernon, since he wasn't more than 100 feet away when it happened....

Cheers I knew a few horses that were just plain evil but they did manage to find that one special person they just seemed to click with. I can only hope Lass found that person and lived a happy life. One was a Dark bay named Blue. He was our ferrier's horse. He actually rescued him from a meat company. He had to have warning signs on the pasture fence because if you walked into that pasture without him you were fair game as far as Blue was concerned. Now if Blue was saddled and ready to ride he was a totally different horse with Ernie present but if Ernie wasn't there Blue was not the horse to get close to.

Ooo a white buckskin frame

Shes out of my favorite mare who passed

Her full sister

My mustang also does NOT like anyone in a cowboy hat, men especially.

Brown or Dark Mousey Buckskin.

My first horse was my favorite color even here in the game. Shadow was a thoroughbred, Standardbred cross. He was considered black, but he had just a tiny bit of brown in his flanks and on his head only. He didn't get it anywhere else. My aunt who raised and bred Palomino QH, said, technically, he was a seal brown, not black. But this was 40 years ago. The closest I can come to him from the game is this horse:



Another Brown color I like in the game and real life is Hood River Breeze AKA Whitney, she is in my avatar here. She is a registered APHA mare, and is listed as Brown Overo on her papers. Closest one I can come to in the game is this horse:


Here is the color Buckskin I like, Antique Carousel, who is also my most favorite horse in my stables:
