A recent conversation with someone got me thinking about the degree to which the colour of a horse influences potential purchasers.
We have just got a 15.2hh irish connemara cross to produce and he is a very unusual dark silvery dun colour which has provoked some debate on facebook (I don't want to post a link here incase I get rapped knuckles but if anyone wants to see it pm me). Someone who had been waiting for a dun particularly said he wasn't the right colour of dun for them to consider (they wanted a golden dun and I respect their wishes) but it got me thinking that colour must for some people influence the horse that they buy to a huge extent.
What do people think? Is a good horse a good horse for you no matter what colour or are you influenced by an eye catching colour or markings?
