    I'm a straight green gal, but I bet the original model for the horse had brown ones.

    Neat pair! I had a similar Blanc de chine pair once that drew a decent amount of attention.

    My dad and his sisters had hazel eyes. Mine are blue, but when I was a little girl, I had a part of my right iris that was hazel. Sadly, it has faded over time.
