Lol I didnt have a clip art pony that colour and thats the only one I could find on the internet! Well done everyone, all correct so far except that the brown colour does not match Moon Filly.

Moon filly has the ion gray in it so that matches the dark gray.

Ok one of us needs to take more water with it, probably me as I spent most of my childhood thinking that Thowra was a silver grey and never realised he was a light palomino - but I could swear that Ilinga was born a brown foal, and developed what the author called moonlight in her coat which I took to mean a scattering of white hairs. So technically she could have been called a roan I guess, but not an iron grey!!!!!! While I'm at it I could start another row over whether Blue Smoke was an iron grey or a blue roan!!

Tut Tut someone needs to re-read their silver brumby books! "The Iron Grey" was the 'baddie' stallion in Moon Filly it was NOT Moon Filly herself! (However I also spent forever thinking Thowra and Co. were grey (or white - when I was a kid I would, with great superiority, admonish non-horsy people for calling white horses grey - now I think its a bit silly ) I think Elyne Mitchell took liberties with Ilinga's colouring and made it up somewhat rather than her being actual roan. As for Blue Smoke, well he's mentioned as being blue roan a few times in the book. Altho he is actually pictured as grey on the dustjacket (and not iron grey either but light grey (white!) I should have known better than to let kunuma anywhere near a colours quiz - always brings out the worst in her

I think Moon filly has like a Alkteck not shore how to spell it sheen too her coat lots off horses went in to producing the Brumby I think most people think off Silver brumbys as light gray white but the writer dus say cream coat may be Thay should have a glossary in the back off the book as the old stockman did have sum funny turms like cream with light main and tail is a palomino and cream with dark main and tail is a buckskin. Thay where a very sort after colour the best horses too ride bush if you can tame them.

Do you mean the Akhal-Teke trixie, not easy to spell I had to look it up! Do you think the brumbies could have had their blood, judging from where the Akhal comes from? I still have the feeling it was just a bit of artistic licence with Ilinga's colouring!

I should have known better than to let kunuma anywhere near a colours quiz - always brings out the worst in her OK have had long lie down in darkened car as it's too noisy at home for one and realised I was so obsessed with trying to remember Ilinga's name, thanks to Allyk for reminding me, that it never occurred to me you weren't asking about her!! HOWEVER I actually think that trixiepony has come up with a GENIUS explanation about her colour which has always puzzled me(what do you mean, obsessed?? ) I am now going to have to reread book as instructed because I think that somewhere it says about her mother having come from the far away East or something like that, now I assumed at the time the author was hintng at Arab blood,but that would not have produced a weird colour, and perhaps the metallic sheen of the Akhal Teke is what she was hinting at? I'm off on one now, going to have to google till I find a picture of a dark brown AT - what have you started Claire??

Choc Bloc isn't white chocolate either! Yes I fancy reading Moon Filly again now to find out if she did have Eastern ancestors. Would be very interesting if she did have an Akhal Teke in her blood line.

Knocker is from Nobody's Horse, which i own but haven't read, i'll guess he's chestnut as thats what he is on the cover...but we all know how many publishers get the covers wrong of course, especially those photographic ones!

For once they got it right - Knocker is a chestnut

Gypsy in Ten Pound Pony was a bay - but I don't remember any of the other names in the list being in it so I'd have to find it to find another horse! I'm not very good at this am I??
