Location: My Own Little World | I like the bloodlines of both. I think I'd like the sorrel better as far as conformation. The palomino is bred well & flashy, so, resale might be easier |

Location: Where I am happiest | Well if they are pics and pedigree's of full siblings it tells me nothing about the colts you are looking at physically. Pedigree wise, I like both pedigree's. If these were the actual colts, then against what the others said, I like the yellow colt best. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Both are nice. I like the palomino's neck a lot better, head too. Both have nice hips and over all conformation. Nothing I can really pick at. I would see them both and go with what personality you like better. Both are nicely bred. |

Location: Georgia | I think the Pally is cute and flashy, but the Sorrel really catches my eye conformation wise and seems to have a sharper/smarter look as well. I love both pedigrees, so I really feel like it would be a decision based upon your liking and their personalities. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | They are both really nice baby's, but If it was me getting one of these babys I would go with the Palomino, I love the Special Effort and Fire Water Flit horses they have so much heart, and you can never go wrong with Sugar Bar horses. The Pally has a stronger hindend and pretty hip. And just trying to see in the pictures I like its chest, looks like a nice V in it. I didnt go with color, I went with how it's bred and built.

Location: Oklahoma | I would pick the sorrel. I'm afraid Biankus crossed on FG might be too ratey for me and might not have enough speed. I also like the conformation on the sorrel better. I think he looks more balanced. |

Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | I like the palomino better. He has a better hip and is more pleasing overall conformation.
This is the pedigree of the mare who ran a world record time on a standard pattern here in the northwest. She can fly and turn. I understand thinking there is too much turn in this pedigree but obviously it didn't bother this mare.  http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/biankus+french+girl |

Location: North Dakota | Both have nice papers, built nicely, but there is something about the palomino's joints I don't care for....too chunky-not sure, so then I pick the sorrel
edited to add that I think the palomino is going to be biiiiggg! The sorrel a handy little package. (I really have nothing against big horses, just need a stool to get on em)

| I like the Sorrel. Both a plenty nice babies that I think anyone would be happy to have. To pick them apart the Pal to me has a more upright shoulder, which generally causes a shorter rougher stride also those big joints are a bit ugly. The sorrel has a longer shoulder with nicer slope, should give him more reach with those front legs and be smoother. Also pal's legs appear to be closer set together... IMHO |

All joking aside, I would probably choose the yellow colt even though I'm not a Biankus fan. |

This is the most confused replies I have ever seen on a thread ....
you are liking the sorrel with the palomino's pedigree and the palomino
with the sorrels pedigree .... because you are reading the palomino color on the
2010 pedigrees which are the full siblings of these two 2013 babies .. ..
and not going by how the OP listed them in her first post ...
TRY IT AGAIN ....
SORREL COLT PEDIGREE .. MARKED AS A SORREL
http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/013+smith
PALOMINO COLT PEDIGREE... MARKED AS A PALOMINO ..
http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/013+fire+fox+honor
OP: These will not show up on allbreed for 24 hours when they update
their database ... so when you name your babies ...
delete these two pedigrees ....

| I agree with Margie- palomino colt is too straight in his shoulder for me. Sorrel is well balanced |

Common Sense and then some
Location: So. California | The sorrel exudes confidence and looks like he will be more ratey The palomino looks more like a free runner to me. Both are very nice, but on the pics alone, I would choose the sorrel. Are you sure you didn't mix up the pedigrees? The sorrel looks like the SE/FWF cross... |

Location: CA | The yeller has a much cleaner neck that ties in nicer to the shoulder. As for the joints, my bigger jointed horses always seemed to hold up better than my smaller, more dainty jointed horses.
I may also be a little biased, as I've seen FDF run, and he's smokin fast in the turns. Absolutely amazing. He seems to be passing it on to his foals. |

Location: ND | They're both nice colts. The palamino would be my pick, he simply has more eye apeal to me. I love a nice clean neck & he has that where the sorrel is more course through his head & neck. I see him growing into a really flashy horse. |

Location: In a happy place | I like the palomino best and I promise you it is not because of the color I don't necessarily like palominos. I like the bigger stouter legs, think he will hold up better. I don't see that his shoulders are too straight. The sorrel is just too wide between the front legs for my taste and I think he will be a rough ride. |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | I would go with the Palamino, he has a very kind eye, stout legs, looks like a runner. I'm not big on the shoulder but it would work out. The sorrel kind da has a roman nose type head and I don't like his eye set from the side,might be a squirelly kind of horse to break. the pali looks like he would take breaking easy. |

| Really? Can you not just buy them both and then tell us later which one turned out better lol. I like them both a lot but I would honestly have to know the prices, and play with them for a minute before I would pick one. If they were both really good deals and I had to make a split decision I would probly go with the sorrel just because I am weird and never buy something just for color. The resale value might be slightly higher for the palamino but I would rather have a fast horse that nobody thinks is pretty lol. But I do like the palamino's big bones! |

| I like the Sorrel. Great breeding, nice confirmation, and his eyes seem brighter and more alert than the yellow colt. (Maybe its the pic?) Plus Im a sucker for sorrels. |
