Colors of the different horse models schleich

Hello everybody,

I was wondering, what horse colour do you think one of the mojar brand should bring out?
Ore what horse colour do you think is best right now?
I have counted al the schleich colours and this was what came out of the counting:
22 multi-coloured (most brown white)
9 appaloosa (most spotted leopard and blanket)
36 Brown horses
28 white ore grey ones
18 black horses
19 palomino ore isabel
8 chestnut
2 roan
4 dark chestnut light manes (dont know the real name sorry)
5 brunblakk (bruinvaal)
5 buckskin

And some of them i can't indentify

I just would really want to see some weird clours like more roan, duns and maybe some sabino pinto ore even a pintaloosa!!! What do you think? Not like the new serie's guessing game, but more like what do you like? And maybe with some own repaint   

Honestly, I don't really care what colors Schleich might use in the future. Paint isn't going to cover up a horrible sculpt to start with, and if they bothered to try a new colorway they would screw it up anyway. :roll:I'll stick with Breyer and Peter Stone for more uncommon realistic colors. Especially PS - if I wanted a specific model in a specific color I can just order a DAH. As for CM colors on Schleichs, I have a soft spot for sabinos, and I love roans. Especially bay and strawberry roans. A perlino would be nice too. And maybe, if we're thinking decorator colors, then the rainbow color like the one Breyer LG 2001 BF SR: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I agree that it could be great with more unusual colours...blue dun, Silver dappeled ( one of the old Iceys is SD ) etc, but ONLY if they are realistic, as 4U says

 Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way.

  I would love to have a Schleich like that    

Seriously, it would be nice to get some interesting colors, like Collecta have made...

If you visit this table of Schleich horses, clicking on specific horse page, you'll find their equine colors.
You'll find some duns like naturally the przerwalski, fjords and also the Icelandic as Susanne said.
Although my first interest in a horse is how realistic the sculpt is, I think a big collection of horses like Schleich, should show a good diversity of colors, it turns the collection more atractive and also more educational. :)
I think that mixing all major brands, you'll find a lot of different equine colors, hard to find one missing, unless it is a very unusual one.

Dark chestnut + light manes are flaxen ones :) (when manes are really light, mostly nearly white)

I´d like to see a good sabino or a good splasehd white, but looking at the tobianos... I think it´s a very difficult goal.

The horses of the pics are a dark grey (not a good one, but the mare is a Percheron, so grey is the only option) and pony I´d say it´s something like a black varnish.

Not only, Percherons are most often grey or black, but the breed standard accepts also chestnut, bay and roan - though the are very, very rare :)
I'd say the Percheron mare is black going grey (with sunbleached mane) and the Shetland pony is either smoky black or sunfaded black.

Didn´t know Percherons were also chestnut, bay and roan. I thought they were only black or grey. Thanks for the info :)

About the pony... I don´t really agree with you. The "white" areas are too white to be a sunfaded black (it turns a bit more reddish that the pony is), and irregular for a smoky black. Maybe he could be a varnish smoky black, as soon as the black is not a truly black here. Not roan, because the head is onvolved here and roan doesn´t affect head hairs (maybe the jaw, but not the muzzle and nose)

I really like the little discussions that why i love this forum,
Maybe i can some of the colors in to my customs.
I Know more other brands are having more unusial colors.
But unfortunally i can't get all the brand in my country.

IMHO the pony looks like very dirty grey horse, maybe also the one that just started to getting grey (perhaps from black), of course in winter coat but above all-very dirty

  That's a good way to look at it!

I also found a color variation. I really tought he wasn't so nice, and the hole row was full of the same horses with the light belly sow i just leaved the guy at the store.
