[juliporiginals]

Purchasing Julips through the forum couldn’t be simpler, once you have spotted a Julip that has taken your fancy all you need to do is post a ‘buy’ comment below it, we will then contact you through a personal message to arrange payment and postage; unfortunately we are only able to accept payment through Paypal, personal cheque, postal orders or collection in person, with no card payment at this time. We will always combine postage for multiple purchases.

As the spares are sold on a ‘first come first served’ basis, please only post within the thread if you fully intending to go through with the purchase or the item has already been sold to avoid confusion.

WE SELL WORLDWIDE! Although postage will of course vary depending on your location.

Yeah, I'd say that's closer to a smutty palomino than silver dapple.
Really lovely though!

If you're going to use real colour names though I think they need to be accurate, otherwise it's confusing and risks disappointing people if they expect one thing but get something else, and silver dapple and smutty palomino are two totally separate colours. This is just far too golden for silver dapple.

I'll change it to Smutty Palomino, ( I need to take some lessons on colours)

[stacey]

I'm thrilled with him whatever colour he is

There's just so many more colours than most people realise! XD

This is quite a good site for fairly basic explanations though I'm not sure if the images are broken or whether the sure just doesn't like my phone, lol

If anyone is interested in learning more about unusual colours, here are a couple of good sites:

This is specifically about colours occurring in the Morgan gene pool, but is an excellent resource

The Equine Tapestry Blog

And I highly recomend Lesli Kathman's books, The Equine Tapestry - Intro to Colours & Patterns and The Equine Tapestry: Vol. 1 Draft & Coaching Breeds. Both are outstanding resources for colour reference and breed assignment.



This particular model isn't too far off from being a silver buckskin - scroll down a bit (12th picture from the top on the left) Another similar example - 9th picture from the top, Lucky Stars Irish Linen. Silvers often go through a range of colour changes, some having very high-contrast manes and tails compared to their body which gradually "sooty-up" with age.


From AZ Mountain Horses (emphasis mine)

Now that you see that the Silver Dapple gene can change a bay, let's consider buckskins. A buckskin is a bay horse, that has had its red body color changed to a light tan by the cream gene, the same "modifier" that also turns a chestnut into a palomino.

However, a buckskin has black areas on its body. Just as the black areas on a bay are changed on a Red Chocolate, the Mtn. Horse with the "Silver Buckskin" color will have dark brown socks, and the mane and tail will show some lighter color.

A darker Silver Buckskin will pretty much look like a regular buckskin, but might have a few flaxen highlights on a dark mane, causing the horse to look as if someone decided to add a few highlights to the mane and tail.

The most extreme Silver Buckskins can sport a pure white mane and tail, which makes the horse look like a palomino with dark socks!
