Hey everyone, it's been a while since I was able to put together a contest and I'm going to be getting busier with a new job soon, so I wanted to make sure that I had the chance to put this together.

Here's the challenge:

You need to identify what the game would assign as the horse's "Color" (seen on a horse's info page underneath its Breed name). The wrinkle is that none of the horses posted have been gene tested. So you're going to have to use a combination of deduction, intuition and maybe even a little luck.

To guess, please PM me with a full list of all your guesses before September 17th at midnight (game time). You're welcome to guess all the horses or just some of them, but please list the number with your guess.
E.g. #4 White Spotted Black, #5 Chestnut Rabicano ...

For each correct part of a horse's colour, you get one point. Please don't just guess every possible addition in the hopes of being lucky. Not all of the answers should look like the "Color with a Really Long Name" herd helper!

As for the prizes, I'm going to give away 12,500 hbs to all players for participating.

There will also be five grand prizes to the top scoring participants, with @ConfluenceStable generously offering to add some prizes to my own for these ones!

- 1st place: 125,000 hbs, 1 GMT token, any 10 straws
- 2nd place: 115,000 hbs, 1 GMT token, any 8 straws
- 3rd place: 65,000 hbs, any 6 straws
- 4th place: 50,000 hbs, any 4 straws
- 5th place: 50,000 hbs, any 2 straws

If you choose to claim your straws, you can pick between any of these stallions

If you're struggling, it's recommended to use the Search Horses option in the "Community" tab, try to use the gene filters to narrow down a horse that looks similar, and see what Colour the horse is called. Alternatively, if the horse is lined and its parents were gene tested, then you can try to work out the different possibilities for inheritance and go from there.
