I don’t know if anyone has asked this question but will there be any new pegasus colors??? Like a bay family or a paint family??? 🙂
It’s been asked before…new colors for the pegasus and unicorns. I’d love an appaloosa coloring, but that would be really hard. A nice gray (like my avatar) would go well on both and I don’t think it needs dapples. Some where are pictures with hoofer test paints.

I’m begining to sound like a broken record , but that is something else I’ve been meaning to get to and haven’t had time. I wanted to do buckskin pintos, because I love that color combo. Dapple grey would be the best, but way too hard to paint. Do horses normally come in plain grey without dapples? I saw one once, but he had a reddish mane and tail, and a black face. He looked cool, though. The other color I love … I think it is really a dark liver chestnut. It looks like a black horse, but with a golden mane and tail.
I don’t see why they couldn’t come in a plain grey color. I’m not a horse color expert so I couldn’t answer the question of do grey horses come without the dapples.

I collect Peter Stone model horses, which are… for those that may not know… high quality model horses. I know some others on here collect them too. Anyway, they have made some grey models without dapples. There aren’t many… but they have made them. I collect the Arabians, but don’t own one that doesn’t have any dapples. If you get time Melody… check out this website:

It is an up to date listing of almost every Stone horse ever made, including OOAKs and decorators. Now I know you have your own ideas, and can easily make your own color that everyone would love. But this site may give you some help with color ideas. There are several breeds you can search on. And it gives the color choices to narrow your search. *Check out the Rain Goddess Arabian* That is a nice color, and looks like it would be easy to produce.
I’m always on this website looking for the next one I want to add to my collection!
Horses can come in just about any combination of natural colors though. It is amazing some of the ranges of colors and patterns you can find on them. They are fascinating creatures! 🙂
Yes horses can come in a plainish grey without dapples! There is a big choise when it comes to the color grey. Rose grey, flea bitten grey (which has little black specs all over it), lite grey, med grey, and dark grey… in all different kinds of shades!
The ones that I have found are more a blue grey with black socks or stockings and an even head color with the body, so it isn’t a blue roan. Black main and tail but the tail has some redish in it… its pretty!
The other greys are light grey with darker grey on their rears going down their legs. Med grey main and tail.
For natural colors, a new brown would nice. Something like:
a buckskin (golden brown with black socks, mane, tail),
a bay (dk brown with black socks, mane, tail)
a palomino (lt golden brown with white socks, mane, tail),
a sorrel (reddish brown with flaxen mane & tail).Buckskin pinto! Liver chesnuts are beautiful too. If they’re produced in those colors, I might have to start collecting the hoofers, too!`

I tend to prefer the dun coloration, because some of the real duns I’ve seen are almost the color of a bay, but the mane and tails aren’t jet black, so they blend with the body color better. In a production, the trickiest thing to do is have sharp color changes. It looks crappy unless you can take time to finesse the color’s edges. Paints have the same paint edge problem, that is why I’m thinking a lighter buckskin-tan spot color would look best.
I want to be sure that my horses are real horse colors. There are too many horse experts out there that will catch any errors!

That would be one crazy patterned horse!
The photo of the horse/zebra hybrid is really interesting. Although there were a lot of people on that site saying that it must be photoshopped, I don’t know . . . maybe it isn’t. I was going to say that if the dam were a paint, then perhaps the pigmented areas on the foal would show the zebra pattern. But I’m not sure how the paint gene is passed along, so maybe not. What an interesting idea for a PYO, though! 😛
An Appy/zebra hybrid? I have no idea how that would work . . . but imagining a horse with a tabby cat pattern is really cool! 😀 One of those sort of spotty tabbies. Hmm!

It is real, but not usual. And the dam was a zebra for that one. Reuters has a video of it (may have to watch a short commercial first), and even they say it’s not normal coloring for the mix; they’re normally stripey all over. Wikipedia mentions the theory that the stallion might’ve been piebald or skewbald… (gibberish to me, to be honest… I think horses are pretty, but know diddly about coloring).
I’m not concerned with which one, really, but would like to see another color available for the pegasus.
