Who gets the family silver?

For people, inheriting the family silver can be a mixed blessing, depending on your feelings regarding elderly cutlery or dinnerware. Horses have it easier: they don't have any cutlery at all, and inheriting the family silver often means they have unusual  - and absolutely stunning - coat colours.

Yes, this horse is real. Can I have one please?? This silver dapple horse is SC Code Of Honor, a Rocky Mountain Horse stallion (pic linked through from here).
