Location: run2win land | If all other things are somewhat equal in regards to progeny of an in demand stud, how much would it decrease the value of the foal if born cremello? |

| A lot in my experience. They are very hard to sell. I would never personally buy one nor breed for one just not my thing |

Location: Jersey Girl | I would never personally buy a cremello either and my opnion is based solely on their looks. I also do not like perlinos.

Location: Somewhere around here | Color really doesn't effect me in any way so I'd still be interested. Sure, your horse might look dirtier than your bays but I've had two greys so far and they actually stayed clean most of the time (and actually a lot cleaner than my sorrel now who will roll in the only muddy area in 100 acres  ). All in all, a good horse isn't a color. |

| Yeah unfortunately I think their value does decrease. I personally would likely pass by one but I do know a few super nice horses that are cremello and I tend to be caught eyeing them up. |

| There was a nice cremello that sold at the East Texas Futurity sale about 4 years ago. No body wanted him and he sold for $750 which was horrible because he was bred really nice.
The next year they held a futurity for horses that were sold in that sale or previous sales. That $750 cremello went in there and out ran everyone by quite a bit. We were all pretty impressed and wishing we would've bought that sucker.
I would personally buy one if it had nice papers and/or athletic ability that really impressed me. But their color doesn't bother me. |

Location: N Texas | I would pass on one, no matter the breeding or price. Not because they're hard to keep clean, but because of their tendency to easily sunburn and have eye problems. The less I have to deal with, the better.
Same for horses with bald faces. I won't buy one that doesn't have dark skin around the eyes. |

I would only consider purchasing one, if everything else equal, as breeding stock, since you are guaranteed color. And we all know, color sells. |

| I used to have a nice looking, decent barrel and pole horse.
When I decided to sell him a friend (in the horse trader business) told me that he would be hard to sell because of his color. Dang, if she wasn't right. If I listed his accomplishments only, I got quite a bit of interest, but when they asked me what color he was, they never called back. When I listed his color, I got zero calls.
At the time, I thought it was because he could not be registered and that now they accept them in the AQHA, that would change......apparently not. |

Location: California | I'll be the odd one out. I actually like cremellos & especially perlinos. In my area (north/central CA), color is HUGE. Most people are tired of the average bays and sorrels around here. The cremellos are new and fun. Of course barrel racing wise, the last color you're going to think has speed and agility is a cremello. They are more known as reiners and halter/pleasure horses in my experience.
Now not talking about QH's.. I'm also slightly involved with Andalusians & let me tell you... If you have a cremello Andalusian your value sky rockets by at least $5K. |

Location: SE KS | I would prefer a perlino over a cremello, and it must be a mare, for breeding purposes!! Can't decide if I would buy one as a riding horse or not!! |

| I own a perlino, I bought her for a song basically. She's 2 this year and is the hardest working horse on the place. Whatever you ask of her she does it and does it well. She's a Reiner, she has all the buttons. Flying leads, spins, etc. I have had absolutely zero issues with sunburn. She doesn't even wear a fly mask, because she always pulls it off somehow. The only issue I have had is keeping her tail clean. I put it in a bag and problem solved. I think it's a myth that blue eyed horses are more prone to issues. I own 3 blue eyed horses and haven't had a problem with a single one.
That being said she is for sale for $3,500 which I think is pretty decent and I've had a few folks interested, but I know for a fact if she were half as broke and sorrel she'd have already been sold. |

Just curious what type of eye probs they're prone to? I've heard that but never what problems specifically. |

| It wouldn't bother me at all. I tend to like those "wild" colored horses because I think they're fun :) I would take a cremello or perlino over a sorrel any day, so long as they're bred well and have a nice disposition. Plus, if it's a mare, should I decide to breed later I will always get color which is a huge plus because color does sell. |
