Elmer's all brown with a black mane -- he's usually reeeally lazy. All the pictures of the horses I've ridden and some I haven't are on http://www.westernaires.org .
They have us ride a different horse each time... I want Ringo. Ringo does not look ANYTHING like his picture on the site, he's actually a grey-and-white guy with a frizzy mane. I don't know how he turned all brow in the picture... maybe there was another horse named Ringo before him. (Like Strawberry and Strawberry Too).

Ringo, depending on how old that picture is, could just have been a Bay going grey or a very weird type of roan.

Personally I like Kiowa, but i've got a thing for grey horses.

Ooh...I like Jade...
-sigh- One of these days I'm going to go back to riding...I'd ride my grandmother's horse, but he's touched in the head and tries to kill me whenever I get near him.
When I grow up, I'm gonna get a white horse...and name it Haku

Haha, awesome.
I once rode Kiowa. He's REALLY hard to control, but unlike Cinnamon (Who as I might have said before REALLY needs to be retired, poor girl's blind in one eye) he's really fun even when he's going the completely wrong direction or running like a crazy dude in circles.
Diablo's probably the best there. He understands English quite well, and he's not lazy.
Tom was my first ride... as his picture suggests, he's like a total average. Whatever.

Is her blindness inhibiting her? If so then she should be retired. If not, then the most likely place she'd end up is in dog-food.
I've known quite a few horses affected by blindness of any sort. I know one horse who was goofing around and caught his eye on a nail and... yeah. Not good. But most of the ones i've met are still rideable so long as they're adjusted to their surroundings.

It's inhibiting her a lot. She can see out of her... left eye, I think? But she doesn't turn well and gets so nervous she slows down.
Westernaires, by the way, never ships horses off for dog food. They put them in the paddock with retired, very ill, and too-young horses. And the mules who don't get to do much except for shows, I think. (One of em keeps following me around when we go out to catch horses, it's so cute!)
They usually live about 35, which is pretty good from what I've heard. Plus there was a pony that lived to 40 there!
(The ponies are psychotic evil little freakies.)
Pore Cinnamon. She's so pretty too, she used to be a Liberty Rider horse I think. (Kiowa, Diablo, and... ehh, the other really good horses are in that section).
