There are so many "colors" out there now that my eyes go all wobbly just thinking about it! It was much more simple with only a handful of color choices!

Does anyone use the terms piebald or skewbald any more? I think a sandy bay is now known as a clear bay.

Let's not forget Champagne and it's variations. 
There are definitely a lot of different colors and variations out there!

Oh! I thought it was an old cowboy thing. Ha ha! What's the difference between them? From the pics it doesn't look like one is a tobiano and one is an overo. Is it the brown or black? And paint people would have a bird if someone called a grade pinto a paint. |

Terry that horse is gorgeous , why don't you have her anymore? And if you ask me what color is that I would say Perlino or Cremello.

I'll bet it was bad for skin reactions and problems, Isis is a very light palomino, he is out in hives all summer and has a fly mask on all year round as his eyes are so sensitive! |

Most of my horses are "white", but have black skin, so they don't have sun problems  That is why Lipizzans are called grey (like any other "white" horse with dark skin) |

Terry, can you explain the difference between the Champagne's that you posted and a Palomino? Is it a genetics thing?

Actually Isis is a dunalino as he has stripes, a very light dunalino! |

The gold champagne that Terry post a picture of, looks to me like a palomino, I would never guess otherwise. This is more of a gold champagne to me  |

Champagne is a genetics thing. If you click the links I posted you can see how each variety of champagne is created. The mare I had was tested and registered as gold champagne. She was certainly a much lighter variety than the picture of the beautiful champagne horse that Lip posted. The pictures don't do her color justice. She shimmered in the sun!
Lip, I didn't own her very long (only a few months). She didn't have problems with skin irritations or sun burns, but she was nowhere near as broke as I was told she was (she went ballistic the first time I put a saddle on her, and with the confidence issues I had at the time, that was the last thing I needed), she and I didn't click, and she and Zena didn't like each other. She also had chronic uveitis that was not disclosed to me. During the short time I owned her I spent more in vet bills to care for her eye problem than what I spent to buy her in the first place. I ultimately returned her to the person I bought her from and got my purchase price back.

What is the main difference between a champagne and a cremello? Is it what colour the parents were and if they're a dilute colour? Champagnes don't have blue eyes, right? I remember a champagne TWH where we used to board that had gorgeous amber eyes. My daughter's friend has a cremello TWH. She looks white and has blue eyes. Both parents are palominos. My understanding is that she's basically a dilute palomino. When she's clean she's actually a very light cream colour and has a blaze and socks that are whiter. They're in the process of getting her registered and the owner wants to bath her and mark down her markings which I think is a mistake. If she ever needed that information because she was stolen or sold her it wouldn't make sense to someone else. |

Has anyone ever noticed how ponies can come in all kinds of colours that defy description? Yet most horses fall into specific categories. I wonder why that is.

I think it's because a lot more of paying attention was to properly selecting and breeding a horse and horse breeds that ponies.
