British Spotted Pony: some unique roans with different colored manes and tails
black varnish: this one also has black dapples!
brown roan: this ones's legs and muzzle are a darker brown than both the mane and tail. Also note the pale but definitely not white blanket.
bay roan: another pale blanket and a smokey gray tail
strawberry roan: the tail is almost as pale as the blanket
Budyonny: dapple rose gray
The rest of the horse is graying, but the tail is determined to stay chestnut. ;^)
Calabrese: dapple rose gray
Another rose gray with mismatched mane and tail. I appreciate how the mane matches the dapples and the tail matches the legs and muzzle.
Criollo: seal brown
Black body and deep red mane and tail! If the mane and tail were a little lighter, this one could pass as an Esroh!
Datong: sooty palomino
Lots of shades of tan are going on here, and that pale gold mane really stands out!
Dutch Tuigpaard: honey roan
I added this one to Xylyl's list. (I think the breed is also too new for it to have made it on there.) Grayish tan body, orange legs and muzzle, and bright golden mane and tail? Somehow, it works!
Estonian Native Horse: a trio of mosaics
bay-black mosaic: in my opinion, the most striking of the three
bay-chestnut mosaic: bay and golden chestnut on one horse! It's probably good they decided not to give it a chestnut tail.
brown-black mosaic: this looks more like a dark bay-black mosaic to me, but at any rate, what a cool horse!
Florida Cracker: sooty palomino
Wow, what a contrast of dark brown and pale gold!
(For comparison, here is Forte's, our sooty palomino Hanoverian's, avatar: very handsome, but not nearly as extreme a contrast)
Franches Montagne: freckled white
No freckles here! Instead we get a pale cream and white horse with light gray pinto pattern on top. I like how Xylyl described this one as a sort of "albino mosaic."
Georgian Grande: sooty palomino
A deep golden palomino with a brown blanket and pure white mane and tail!
That's enough avatars for today. Check back later for the next installment from Felicity or Julie.
We've had a pretty low-key week on HI2. Lily did name her new Hanoverian, though. Meet Quip!

She seems to be settling into the herd just fine despite her "gadfly" personality label.
Also, I had an opportunity at buying yet another cremello Florida Cracker mare today! She was for sale in the auction house.
Sorry, you beautiful mare, but I will not be swayed in my quest for a light gray or a perlino!
Finally, here is another pretty mare I just had to show off, the Georgian Grande that Felicity and Gromit fluted this afternoon.
Apricot duns are so lovely!
Here's one more look at her avatar, this time from the front:
Maybe I can get my sisters on board with retiring her to our Millennium Fields?
