Show Colors for Possible New Colt

LotsOfSavvy · 02-02-2008, 07:27 PM

I have a deposit on this little guy. I'll unveil him after the vet see's him Monday but I'm super excited about showing him in AQHA halter. He's a very um...unusual color so I'd like suggestions about what color to show him in as well as what color (halter etc) you think would look good on him around the barn.

Without saying too much (that would allow you to run a search and find him in 10 seconds). He's a dun but a very buttermilk buckskin color. His hair is brown, not black, and will remain brown. Below is a picture (in foal coat but his yearling coat should be similiar if not a little lighter).

I am not sure on what color he is, but he sure does have a unique one at that!!

I think brown might look nice on him. It'd make his lovely creamy coat stand out!

If you want something a little brighter or more interesting, I think teal looks nice on buckskins. Or hunter green. You don't want something really loud because from what I can see he has a very lovely colour and you don't want to take away from that.

The right brown would look great on him, or possibly a rust.

A lilac-colored purple would also look really nice on him, but not sure how you feel about "feminizing" your boys.

baby blue, light purple(or lilacy purple) I think so tones that are 'baby' would look nice on him!

^^^
actually that's what i was thinking!
lilac maybe, or a deep emerald...idk, i don't do halter so that might not be okay, but it would look nice

I would say possibly red, teal, whiskey, taupe, blue, green.

Earth tones.
