I don’t have any continental blood in my breeding. It’s all Irish.
Is this person just ignorant

OK then in your case it's because "sport horses" became much more fashionable for people to buy and be seen on than traditional drafts, even though many of the people who buy them would be far better off owning one.

That makes more sense . Your post made it look as though you had sold pure bred and sport horse foals this year , and had achieved the same price for both types.
Id expect pricing to vary depending on economic climate in the given year .
I was sure I hadn’t seen you advertise any pure breds , I thought I was going senile .

This year was only year I didn’t have a pure bred, last year my IDSH sold several £1000’s more, I couldn’t sell the ID for love nor money even at £4500 !! So I have retained it as it’s an absolute cracker. Some of the IDSH’s went twice this amount last year

Just curious with the colouring how he had a grey foal? You said earlier he can only have duns and palominos?

As said it was a grey dam, 50/50 chance of going grey if a Dam is grey, that’s to do with her genetics not his. It was born buckskin but went grey.

Sports Horse/ Pony is realy just a generic term, I used to show my full bred Connemaras as SP, at a push SHP, and even in the 70's the Connemara pony stud I worked would look at the pony for type, and not only breed type, because not everything fits the breed type. My Connie cross is more a WHP type.
My IDx was on the ID sports horse register, out A. Archie, as a coloured with a blue eye, he was more of a maxi cob, but jumps
Connemara that are cremello used to be destroyed or Graded as 3, which made it difficult registering. If you want a dun, I have a dark 'dun' who has no grey what so ever and he is twenty four, I would wait until about three, if they are going to grey out they will have started.
When you look at the breeding of WB's there is a lot of TB in some of them, you should buy what you see in front of you, witha stallion depending on the mare, you may either get prince charming or Dumbo. I have seen this happan, I prefered Dumbo, rather than his stallion half brother.
