Yes, MPV made a white Friesian and it looks there's no grey pure friesians and it is one of the most wanted Schleich horses from these last years.
Why not a palomino Silesian? I've listened somewhere that Slavic girls always know what to do.

Half-Silesian, half-Wielkopolski  Then it could be both heavier and palomino!

I think that is a really cool option to think about, it unique anyway!

Beautiful breed   

Will be very interesting to see the final result

Marian - the horse of my dear friend, is half breed Silesian and half Małopolski  He's not as heavy as pure Silesian but he's nice saddle horse, and quite tall (near 180cm in withers)

Silesian mixes are nice indeed, Wielkopolski x Silesian cross in Palomino colour would be interesting idea for the project!!  Horses of Wielkopolski breed exist also in leopard appaloosa patterns, also pretty

Małopolski too - both breeds have the same range of colours, including pinto, appaloosa and pintaloosa

Some grat appaloosa examples of these breeds:

Wielkopolski stallion Debiut

They're so cool looking, but these're the only photos of them I've found I want more!

Here's the picture of how it looks so far. I have left original hooves. I will post better pictures tomorrow :)

Looks fantastic!

I agree LeeAnn, very beautiful!   

Agata, very nice work! I like the light shade of palomino you chosen for him    Beautiful!    His eyes look very calm and I think he looks overall relaxed

Beautiful horses and photos! Thanks for sharing.
I didn't know about spotted Małopolski horses, I knew they can be Tobiano though (but appaloosa and pintaloosa, wow, that's interesting)    Thanks for the information!

Tadaah! Here's the final result.  I have shaded the eyes a bit with pastels. I must say I am very proud of myself, because it is my first horse repaint that looks pretty good :DI have called it Taiga :) I think she will remain as Wielkopolski horse :)

Love! Excellent work Agata!

She looks great, Agata! Well done, what lovely colours you gave her

Agata, you're an excelent painter, I was expecting something wonderful from you and you did it!
It looks really beautiful and well done, you're surely very proud of your Taiga.

You did a wonderful job there   

I am very, very impressed     

You can be proud of yourself for sure!
Lovely horse and wonderful paintjob. I like the name too

Very nice!                 

Beautiful work Agata! And I think the shading around eyes is very nicely done. Congratulations!!!

Very Nice,
Love the shading around the eyes!
Beautifull color

I agree with all! Excellent paintwork on it!

Aw, she is so beautiful   Very nice work! I think Schleich should make it as a SE
