Location: Somewhere around here | Just a light hearted thread to poke fun at ourselves.
The question is: what color will you hopefully never buy again?
My answer would be...SORREL! The last three horses I've had in a row were all sorrels, and I have had just the worst luck. First one sent me to the hospital, second came up with navicular, and third just does suit me (even though he's a good horse). I'd kill for any other colored horse the next time I'm in the horse market lol. |

| It is silly, but I wont buy a paint. All the ones I've been around (which is quite a few) seem to be really quirky. More so bred for color than attitude or performance. Although I do know of a few GREAT paints that I would buy, personally I tend to avoid them.
Never say never though! ha |

Location: Deep South | I try to never say never, but.... I buy with resale value in mind and it is a lot harder to sell a sorrel. Their pictures just don't draw peoples' attention like other colors do. At least in my experience. So I stay away from those when shopping for prospects. |

I don't really have a huge never category but I don't prefer medicine hats or cremellos. I typically like bays, greys, sorrels and a nice tri-paint. Those are my favorites. I am kind of meh... on the palomino, buckskin, etc. |

| I absolutely adore my white (paint) gelding, you can't see he's a paint till he gets wet... the sun is hard on his pink nose and of course he's impossible to keep clean. I'm not sure I'd go out looking for another light colored horse but if it just so happened the next horse I click with this well is white, I wouldn't hesitate. I has crummy luck with sorrels too. |

I also believe I would steer clear of a paint, perlino, or cremello WITHOUT good muscle definition, and a great mind. In my area it is very hard to sell these types of horses. Even with a good mind and good muscle definition. |

Location: Durango CO | I won't buy a grey horse. I think they are the most beautiful color when they are actually grey or really dappled out but once they turn white I hate it!! I also don't tend to buy even a sorrel or bay if it doesnt have some sort of chrome. If they have no white on them it drives me nuts.

I'm the biggest sucker for a sorrel. I do prefer white on the face and at least one stocking. I'll be scrolling through ads and my eye is ALWAYS drawn to a sorrel over every other color. Followed by red roans and then bay roans. |

| Hmmmm.... I don't know. For years I thought sorrels were just plain but if there was a dark red one I might consider it. I do however love browns. I have two. Black in the winter and they fade in the summer. My tb is so faded this yr she almost looks buckskin from far away. There's something about a dark brown or black horse that gets my mouth watering when I see them. I've never cared for palominos. There pretty but just never had any taste for them. Growing up we did raise a beautiful palomino paint. Dark golden and marked beautiful. Like someone else said, a good horse is a good horse and I would keep that in mind if I was looking for one. |

Agreed, you couldn't pay me to take another appy. Every single one of them that I've ever swung a leg over had a screw loose. I have one I'm stuck with because he's too crazy to sell on and me be able to trust him not to kill someone. Then we had a POA (which is just an appaloosa pony, don't let anyone tell you different) who we sold at auction to get rid of her mean butt. Never again. I even had one who I thought was an exception to my no appy rule, until we took him to his first decent sized show and he flipped his lid and did all kinds of crazy stuff (rearing, falling over, pulling back etc). Negative ghost rider, I'll pass.
i will do any other color, but I auto DQ it if it is appy anything (even solid appy). |

I think it is kind of an interesting thread. If you are a breeder, it is always interesting to hear people's answers to a question like this. Not that I think color is important in a barrel horse, but it affects the click through rate on ads! And in 2016, you can't sell 'em if you can't get people to click.
I love Paints and Appies both. I've ridden some good ones of both breeds. But then in solids I love a plain old brown horse. Go figure.
We rarely buy a sorrel because they are harder to sell. My Dad keeps reminding me that he can remember when sorrels were the hot color. It was in the 1940's.
And I have always said I wouldn't buy a gray but we could breed a gray mare to our QH or TB studs so maybe I would now. Still wouldn't buy a gray stud though, we have too many Paint mares and I don't care for white horses with white spots . . . . |

Location: Stuck in a cubicle having tropical thoughts | My dream was to always have a Blue Roan. I bought one when I was 18 and used her my last year of fair. Won grand champion at county fair, reserve champ at state fair, and was my first 21 second pole horse on top of running locally right at the bottom of the 1D, top of 2D. She was so athletic and quick. But she had a screw loose and it kept getting looser and looser (which I now blame on her bloodlines). She was beautiful with black mane and tail, black legs and black face with white star. But she gave me anxiety and was the one that ended up ruining my confidence. So, now when I see a blue roan, my stomach churns. I'd love to have ASOF one day, and that would be my only exception to even own another roan........but I'll probably never be able to afford anything by ASOF anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.
That said, I'll take a field full of sorrels, chestnuts and brown horses all day long. My heart flutters when I see a photo of a muscled up, pretty sorrel or chestnut.

The colors that really catch my eye is a bay or sorrel, if they have good conformation, nice hip, nice head and neck that ties into their shoulder real nice.  Ooooo I cant keeps my eyes off a good looking sorrel or bay. But I like any color that has the right conformation.. But Who can pass up a good looking dark Copper colored sorrel..  |

Both my horses are dark brown and I don't mind at all that they bleach out. I get black in the winter and then lighter in the summer. My tb almost looks buckskin. I will say I like my tb darker but my quarter horse looks nice either way. She bleaches out more in the flanks and my tb bleaches all over. |

If I had to pick my least likely it would be Gray. Every single gray horse I have known has had melanoma. I realize it is really not the same as when people get melanoma, but I know 1 that lost a beautiful gray recently and the cause was an internal melanoma broke loose and caused rapid blood loss internally and the horse passed away. BUT with that said, if I had a chance on a winning gray and I had the money, I would at least look and think about it. |

| I love my sorrels! Chestnuts are possibly my fav! I usually pass on ads that are paint, app, or cremello because I would never buy a prospect that color. I would buy anything for the right price no matter the color, but in general I enjoy buying stuff that nobody else "wants." I love palominos and buckskins but all of them Iv owned were either crazy or had problems staying sound. So I pass on those, but they are pretty! |

LOL, I feel that same way about Palomino's .... I usually don't care what color they are, how much white or?? that they have. I'm a sucker for a Red horse that's for sure. But, I really don't have a preference. What I've noticed the most is the Palomino's, Buckskin's etc are usually brats because they were bought for color vs brains. |

This just cracks me up! Our purebred Santa Gertrudis cattle HATE any other color or breed of cattle. It is hilarious to watch them run the "inferior animal" away from their feed and hay. They won't even let them join the herd in any capacity. It doesn't matter what color they are - other red colored breeds, Charlois(?), cross breds, whatever. |

Location: bring on the heat, NV | Cracking me up! so ill play I will say there is no color I wouldnt buy but I do have colors I judge more than others... Im not a huge fan of tobianos but overos trip my trigger (and I like them either more white or more solid not 50/50). Leopard appys but not the roany appys. Im not a fan of palominos or buckskins and have/had both. Brown, red roan, red dun, claybank/sooty buckskin are my personal oh la las and ... i own not a one. Honestly, my fav color though is whatever is in my corral. Now if you want a giggle there is no way! Period! my husband would allow a double dilute on this place... no reasoning behind it other than color. He also wont bet on a gray at the horse races. |

Interesting! I've always heard from the local handicappers to always put money on the dark grey, and to never put money on a horse that does the track walk with a sheet on. LOL |

| Well I'll chime in here, LOL, but sorrels are my least! I have tried to own 4 in my lifetime and all of them were not a good fit for me! My absolute fav colors are a deep golden paly and deep blood bay! |
