Three horses and a burrow!

[finn's mom]

Is he by chance named after Beorn in "Beorn the Proud?" (a book) LOL Ah, that's cool your step brother dressed up with Beorn too...was he Aragorn, Theoden or who was he?? lol, I'm a big Lord of the Rings fan, so I'm a little curious! hehe

I don't know the answer to either of those questions, actually. I don't know who Beorn was named after (actually, I thought it was supposed to be spelled Bjorn when I heard his name pronounced, but, I saw his stall plaque). And, as for my step brother, I want to say Boromir, but, I can't be for sure. I'll ask him next time I talk to him!

Oh man, I LOVE the first picture! And that last horse is huge! And wow, a fourty year old burrow?? Thanks for sharing

Wow thats a great outfit! Love the pictures. The farm dogs is a cutie!
Shilo looks like a red roan in the picture. But if you say he has no white flecks in him he might be a sorrel. Here is a pic of a sorrel since nobody has posted one. *my horsey*

Yeah, here's a closer photo of Shiloh. Definitely no white in her coat...I think she has some white socks...but, other than that...she's all the same color all over. She's not as bright as your horse, though. She's really dusty, must've been rollin' in the dirt!

Haha, we can all finally rest.

Unless of course, you want to go over the color of my horse...that's a headache right there.

Well, whatever, and it doesn't necessarily mean if there is a black tail it's a bay cause i have rode a horse *Trained by a professional breeder and trainer* and she said it doesn't matter if the horse is chestnut and haas a black mane and tail, it's still chestnut, and it's only bay if it's a DARK brown

[areias]

No matter what color brown (except a buckskin or dun), if the horse has a black mane, tail, and black points (black legs fading to brown and black muzzle fading to brown) it is a bay.

This site is amazing. And, wildly confusing! Ha ha, there are so many things that go into determing the colors. Wow. Anyway, I thought with the interesting little debate going on in this otherwise undebatable thread, I might just post this link. I've been reading a lot of the stuff about chestnut and sorrel (they are the same, which is kinda what I thought), and, started reading about the modifiers and all that other stuff. Just thought I'd specifically share the page about "bay", but, the other pages are interesting too if anyone wants to check them out. Cool stuff.
