I LOVE odd color horses. I like the ones that have the colors or the design that is unique. I don't want a horse that is like everyone elses. I want something that is one of a kind. For some people it may be ugly, but I would be the one to buy that ugly horse. Odd color horses are my thing. Good luck in selling your horses. Wish, I could take one.

I don't care what color a horse is. I go by the motos "a good horse is a good horse no matter breed, size, sex, or color" and "you ride the horse not the color." Sadly some colors are stuck with a stereotype. Like paints, apps, roans, buckskins, grullos, duns, and palominos are considered "western." I just hope that the majority of people remember that it is conformation, movement, and temperment that really matter in a horse. What color they are is only a bonus point for the owner or potential…

Hi, May:<br />
<br />
I couldn't agree more. Colour, sex, and height are the least important factors when looking at horses. After judging for 8 - 12 hours per day I usually couldn't tell you the sex of most of the horses I've seen that day, and the stand-outs are the great performers, regardless of colour and size.<br />
<br />
Last weekend I had a little (and I do mean little) plain bay Connemara in a clinic. He stood out because of his spectacular movement, which was miles beyond many of the WB's in the clinic. I…

I also had a little (15 hh) paint gelding, bought at the auction for $700, who also stood out because of his tremendous ability and willingness to collect.<br />

I think if you're discarding potential horse due to color, you may be missing out on some really good prospects. Why narrow the field? Unless it's a really inappropriate color choice for a discipline for someone serious about showing, give the horse a chance.<br />
<br />
I also meet people who won't look at a really good match for them because the horse sticks at 2" too short or tall. There is so much more to a horse than his height, color, and gender!

I also love odd coloured horses. Most important to me though, is the horse's build, conformation, movement & then the colour. A good horse comes in all colours.

I actually prefer the colored horses! They stand out in the ring and they often have this very playful personality. My mare is currently on a breeding farm that specializes in breeding colored thoroughbreds.<br />

I love color if the movement, conformation and mind are good as well.. this is a pic of my Oldenburg colt, Silent Sam, pictured here as a yearling. I am very happy with the way he's turning out.<br />
