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 |
