Pure Spanish Breed stallion

Thanks, I am glad you like Albina

You may well be right about the Safai-PRE, - or the persons to approve the design changed it before production. BEC (blueyed cream) is not often considered nice.
As you probably know, they are excluded from the stud books in several breeds.
Funny thing is, that Schleich`s "Andaluser"-mare has the same colour , - and her foal looks like a buckskin.

But Schleich`s Camargue-mare also has cream mane, and to the best of my knowledge they are grey, not BEC.

Maybe it is just lack of research

Hum... Maybe you´re right :) I will have to study more the Grey gene action. I´ve always thought it´s one of the most difficult colors of horses! It has a very big variabiluty.

About cream coats, until few years ago they were not accepted at PRE studbooks, for example. But they are accepted now, in fact, cream coats are more expensive than "normal". Double cream dilution coats have nearly always blue eyes, and are those coats the most wanted now.


About ponies and horses, well, there are some differences. An arabian horse is ALWAYS a horse, even if it´s under 1,48. And a Welsh pony is ALWAYS a pony, even if it´s over 1,49. But sometimes in competition the classification is not based on the breed, it´s based on the size; then a little arabian horse could compete with poneis, and a big welsh could compete with horses. At least is what I know, or what I think I know.

Przewalsky horses are small, but they are HORSES :)

I love this model I have 3. i always thought they looked like a paso fino Even thought there Andalusian.
Charles, Ebara, and one of my most favorite boys Mick. Named after one of my favorite actors. Paint him like this![You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

That is it ! Thanks, Sylvia.
As is the Fjord and other breeds, - the Mongols would probably be very surprised if they heard anybody call their horses ponies, or maybe they couldn`t care less

The concept "pony" is really a British word for smaller horses. For competition a measure was needed to give fair play, but it does not make the old, natural horses ponies

Lacey, that silver dappeled horse is just STUNNING ! Not only the colour, but the power and personality that he radiates
And a great herd of andalusian repaints, great jobs

I love the Safari PRE! I painted mine silver buckskin (ie bay + cream + silver, not a silvery shade of buckskin):

Wonderful my friend! Looks real! :O

Congratulations!

That silver buckskin is really beautiful! And I also love the spikesilkenwolf´s dark bay (I like the pinto too but PREs don´t have pinto patterns and I want mine realistic) Hum... Now I don´t know what coat could I choose!

Susanne, you´re welcome :)

Reflect about the options.. Imagine how can stay the horse paint..

Decide, tell us, paint, and show us

ehehe

If I can vote I would vote for rose gray. It's awesome and I'm sure You Sylvia will do it fantastic(Your knowledge about horses colors is amazing+good talent to painting=that will be SUPERB).
And I haven't see any model of horse painted into this color so it could be additional reason ROSE GRAY, ROSE GRAY, ROSE GRAY

I didn´t know about it, it´s gorgeous!

Ana, thank you so much for your kind comments!

White? is beautiful but they are a lot of white horses..

I continue in Rose Grey..

Is just my opinion. If you don't want earth, don't earth :)

Tell us your choice after, Sylvia

I've missed this topic!
Susanne Sylvia and Lacey, I don't understand nothing about horses!
But, Torben, I know a lot of German standards! see it...
The chiks of King penguins are Emperor Penguins, jaguars are leopards and leopards are jaguars. Female ostriches has the same colour of male ostriches, macaws are parrots, crocodiles have 5 toes in bac legs, etc, etc! If you want more German standards please send me a pm!

Susanne, don't let your wonderful Albina learn Deutch!

Since I've found this thread, I thought I'd add walkaround photos of mine.

Miniatures again

I'm going to repaint him, he has some serious rubs, but I was planning to do this anyway I'm thinking about either bay (regular or dark) or white grey (with more or less dappling). But I won't be doing it anytime soon.
