I have one!! Love him to pieces! Runs amazing! (Pulled me 3 checks this weekend). I do think it affects price (unfortunately) because most people don't want to deal with the Sun issues. Blue has a fly mask on during the day (except when I ride) and sunscreen on his little pink nose. In the 8 yrs that I have owned him his body has only burned twice.
We have a paint that is pink on half his head, I swear (!!), and I bought sunscreen for him. Well, I didn't pay attention that it was colored sunscreen so you could tell where it had already been applied. . . . .So we had a red roan paint with a HOT pink nose. He wasn't impressed with how cute he was, I don't think!!! |

Yes I would love to see pictures!
We had been searching for a 2 year old and found one bred just like we wanted, great confirmation and size but she is cremello. So we are on the fence about it. She is a mare so color producer is a benefit since she is bred really well for what we like! But we just can't decide
If she's everything you want don't let the color stop you---just my opinion! And yes to pics from everyone. We were at run in Jackson this weekend and there was a very pretty cremello there. Didn't get to see it run but very nice looking
Thank you!
Yes she is everything we have been looking for! We have a really nice gelding we LOVE that came down with a injury and we are trying to get some similar bloodlines.
We are just struggling with that cute pink nose and eyes! |

When I bought my mare she was under-priced, I suspected due to her color (cremello). Quite frankly it didn't bother me any, and a lot of people think they sunburn but their bodies don't unless they have white or white on their nose. Same as any other horse. Mine wears a flymask and flysheet just like my other horses. I have noticed some people like the color or extremely don't. But if the horse is fast and wins, who cares what color it is? Heck I ran my mare this weekend and was top of the 1D with 350+. Being a 100% color producer for me was a bonus.
Congrats and please share a picture! |

Until you find out there is a hidden gray gene in that cremello and your foal turns gray. I did not want a gray horse, but that's what I'm ending up with, because the breeders did not test for gray in their "color producing" mare. I am not happy, at all.

Location: California | I never thought I would like one or own one but I fell in love with my boy the first time I saw him. Honestly, my paint sun burnt way worse than my cremello does. He lives in a turn out with no shelter with a fly sheet and a long fly mask and he has never burned. I think I have always just seen poorly built and dirty ones so I was turned off LOL. Mine I am obsessed with keeping clean, and I like the way he is built and of course his mane and tail are to die for
