All Ponies have either one of the three base coat colours Black, Bay or Chestnut. They then can have other colour gene’s that cause different effects on that base coat colour. Below is information on the known colour genes that are found in the Highland Pony breed and how they effect the coats colour.

Below you can find the example pages for the base colours – Black, Brown/Bay and Chestnut.

It has been a couple of weeks in the making and I could not have accomplished these without the help of other Highland Pony breeders,
which whom I cannot thank enough for supplying me with photo examples of the different colours with in the breed.
