A Good Show Cob Coloured Colouring?

[Elsbells]

I hope I'm in the right place? But if I'm not, please Admin move this post to the correct one please.

I bought a nice 15.1 coloured hunting cob in Ireland, brought him back to the UK and turned him away while I decided what to do with him. He's very nice in every way a real sweetheart although not so good ridden so far, I think he's been hammered on the hunting field and hopefully we will get over that with time and trust. However, everyone that has met him insist that I show him. One friend has got quite excited about his colouring as the patches run over in a kind of wash into the white in a distinct symmetrical line. What I'm asking, is this sought after in show cobs or just a regular thing in coloureds?

Any chance of some photos?

I've got some on my ipad, how do I get them on here?

 

[Elsbells]

Nobody? I've googled etc and there's no reference to it that I can find, so I guessing not.

As a ridden hogged show cob he will be judged for type, confo and ride regardless of colouring.

In showing classes colour will only come into it if the markings create an optical illusion, e.g. some markings can make a shoulder look very upright etc.

I was told by an experienced show person that a sharp change in colour is preferable to a blurred one, but as others say it should be judged on type, congo and performance.

Moves were very impressive when a helicopter landed next door earlier on. I feel cheated no one arrived at my wedding last weekend in a helicopter.
