What is the most common color of a connemara pony?

Answer 1

Grey is the most common colour of Connemara ponies; however bays, browns and duns are also very common. Chestnuts and roans are the least common colourings. Originally, they were characterised by a dun colouring with a black dorsal stripe and black points.

Answer 2

There neccesarily is no "best colour" for a shetland pony. Shetland ponies can range in colour from blacks and browns - whites and greys. Shetland ponies can also have coat patterns of two or three different colours such as paints or pintos. But shetlands cannot be spotted such as the appaloosa, spotted pony, or knabstrup.

As a Shetland pony breeder myself, i have seen various colours of Shetland ponies. Last year i bought a grey mare, who is pregnant, so it will be intresting to see what colour her foal is this year.

Unfortunatley here in Shetland, prices aren't good for mainly pure black ponies or greys, but coloured Shetlands are very popular. At this present moment i have a Bright Bay mare who is absoloutley stunning both in winter and summer as their coats change.

But, if you are thinking of breeding Shetland foals REMEMBER they can change colour as they mature.
