Answer 2

we have a pony that is a mixture: she's strawberry roan with like a leopard print blanket effect.

i suggest an appaloosa: you get some lovely colours with those.

Answer 3

Here is a freaky color for you. Black Silver Dapple.... .

Genetically a black but the silver dapple gene modifies that and you get this lovely Morgan colt.... http://www.sterlingmorganhorses.com/A-Le...

Answer 4

I would say brindle, like Secret suggested. Its one of the rarest.

Answer 5

um

buckskin

black

palomino

Answer 6

erm..

The Bright coulours would be odd.. (lime green lol)

White would be nice.

Answer 7

Brindle all the way! :) I think it's the rarest color for a horse; not many people have brindles.

If you want one that'll stand out, I think a brindle would be the way to, if you can find one :)

Answer 8

Horses come in four colours:

-Black

-Brown

-Tan (orangish)

-White

They can also be a combination of these colours. People, quit telling her to paint her pony, that's animal cruelty as it can have harmful effects on the horse's coat and it could breathe in the fumes.

Answer 9

Okay, first off, with the correct paints it is NOT cruelty.

Second off, that "MORO" color is either a bay or blue roan.

Third, horses cannot be 'tri-colored'. Horses that are tri-colored are bay or buckskin paints, but that is not what a tri-color really is.

And for the genetics person who said that horses are one of four colors, no. They are either Black [Extension Gene] or Chestnut [No Black Gene] or Bay [Agouti and Extension Gene]. All the rest of the colors such as Palomino, Buckskin, Smokey Creme, are modifiers.

Answer 10

Purple

Answer 11

=]

Answer 13

I used to have a fleabitten grey/paint

Answer 14

The horse Juliane asked a question about a few days ago.  It looked like a bay but had a huge black patch over most of the front shoulder with a distinct border between the black and sorrel color of the body.  That foal in the picture may well be the only horse in the world with that color pattern (probably not but it could be).

Perhaps the rarest recognized color is brindle.  They do not even know what causes it.

Other rare colors are blue dun, strawberry roan, and grulla.

K S horses can be tri colored.  A tri colored paint is what they call a horse with a bay color with white markings.  Thus the horse has black, sorrel, and white.

With horse prices like they are yes you can find a good horse in almost any color.  I do suggest you look at training, temperament, and conformation first and then factor in color only as an added benefit.  But I think anyone knows that much, so I will not harp on it.

Answer 15

Answer 22

ah skewbald always stand out!!!

its not always abou the colour of the horse if you are good the u will stand out because of your talent even if you are on an old bay or chesnut commen aul yoke thats about 25 years old and has been in a riding school for years and is all scabby and... you get my drift!!

if u keep you r horse in good cond and groom him etc.. and u are half waay decent u wil stand out!!

Answer 23

palominos and duns stand out i love em! ive got a palomino!

Answer 24

well brindle is probably the weirdest color because it results from a condition called chimerism, where basically the horse has two complete sets of DNA.  So the color you see is caused by different genes.

It's pretty rare though so good luck finding one, or at least one for sale.

Answer 25

Great links, Secret!  Brindle is cool.   A brindle pony would really stand out.  So would an albino, but I wouldn't want one - too many health problems associated with albinism.

Answer 26

red, orange, yellow, green,blue and purple

Answer 27

You should get the elusive hairless horse.

Answer 28

If you are in the US there are Brindle horses over there. Look on Google they are just AMAZING. Have a look. They take my breath away....

Answer 29

I think a green horse would be well nice.

Answer 30

YEAH! that's the best idea i've ever heard! get a pony based on it's color. i wouldnt ever choose a horse based on anything other then color.  

forget training, forget skill level of rider/horse,forget conformation, forget all that stuff that doesnt matter, just go for color.

brindle coloring is the rarest of all colorings from my research. . .to answer your question. . . but i think it's silly/unsafe to get a horse based on it's color. if you want to stand out, then pratice and ride better then the others. color is a matter of opinion, on judge may love the liver chestnut color, while another may hate it.

Answer 31

i think red roans are a little diffent color in my opininon
