No, no! I wish it was, but no. These horses belong to a nice family up the road from us, with a small farm.

Aw. Still awesome! They’re beautiful animals; I like the fuzzy winter coats.

A chestnut, a bay, a pinto and a (gray?, roan?). The mystery coat horse is a bit moose-like.
Snow is splashing when these four are in the move. I like especially the second and third picture.

(gray?, roan?)
I would bet on roan, but I couldn’t give you a good reason. The bay looks borderline dun, but there’s great variation in both colours.

I had trouble accessing this before, so I couldn’t include it. From their person, Kim: The bald face chestnut sorrel is “Simon”, The paint is “TomTom”, dark buckskin is my king his name is”Gunner”. Yes those 3 have been together a long time. The dark gray we are going to break his name is “Balto”.
I’ll save you, cicely and blf! I have a +2 greatsword and I’m not afraid to wield it.*

See how his head is lighter colored than the body?
From this angle, it was hard to tell if it was lighter or he just had a white face. So I went with roan because I like that colour better. :)

Awesome shots. Love horses. Probably the most beautiful of animals.

I got it out. No idea why it tripped akismet. I have links limited to 5, so that wasn’t it.
rq says
Thanks, might be something within one of the links. Or, you know, goblins in the interwebz.

That’s a grey, I do believe. :-) See how his head is lighter colored than the body? In roans, the head is darker.
Dapples and greys, pintos and bays, All the pretty little horses!
