Curious on opinions, would you evaluate colour as affecting saleability of offspring in the current (depressing) market?
Specifically, would you disregard a stallion on the basis of colour or deliberately look for one that passes on a trait? (dilution or tobiano say).
Does the type of horse affect that choice? (hypothetical example, coloured WB fine but prefer a solid cob)
Please weigh in with any opinions/ anecdotes you've made a decision based on this.
(I realise a good horse is never a bad colour, but also that breeding is with an eye to producing a calculated result)
Thank-you; very interested to hear input.
