Okay on what planet is that colt black? I actually had to go make sure they had the right horse, I was so thrown. I mean I get there are ways to tell if a horse is really dark bay vs. black, and a horse can look bay and if you get in there they're actually roan, but that's your run of the mill bay if ever there was one. It's not even a question. Pretty, but c'mon. On no planet would someone say 'what color is your horse?' and expect to be told 'black' by anybody. Is there some weird genetic analysis thing going on here or has everybody been day drinking? When does the color visible to the human eye cease to matter? If we're trying to correctly identify horses, surely that needs to matter to some degree because this is just confusing. I felt like Henry Higgins describing Eliza Doolittle's eyes and hair "Brown brown brown!"
