Location: never in the right place | I have always wanted a bay no white marking (maybe a little star) and have ended up with mostly sorrels. This time I wanted a bay and got a palomimo but he is exactly what I wanted. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | These days color matters. I want what I want (Bay or brown with no white. Will also accept bay or brown roan. I will take a small amount of white on a bay or brown if all else is "right". But all else being equal, no white wins.) And if I am willing to wait, I CAN find it. I'm not saying any old junk horse as long as it is the "right color". I am saying EVERYTHING I want, INCLUDING the color. It costs the same to feed exactly what you want as it does what you don't want or like. (I've had plenty of other colors in the past, including colored Appies and a palomino and white tobiano paint. And they were all nice horses.)
My 2 current mares: (Big mare on the left is actually a bay roan.)

Pretty girls! I love how stout they are!
I agree that you can find what you want color wise if you're patient enough. Do you dislike white because of white hooves or just personal color preference? I love a bay with some white on his/her head. I prefer black feet, but can deal with a couple white hooves. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | I just don't like white markings on an AQHA or TB horse. (I like colored APHA and ApHC horses though.) I've had several with white feet including a cherry red sorrel with a blaze and 4 white stockings. I have never had any issues with their feet due to them being white. |

| My favorite color is green. Any color is beautiful in a win picture. I'm least partial to greys or palominos, but could really care less. |
