I am an adult menopausal woman with a Trigger fantasy who breeds Irish Sport Horses and would love to breed a golden palomino ISH with 4 white socks and a blaze. There are SO many problems making this happen that it is a lot like bangin your head against a wall. There are so many colors called palomino from near white to near chestnut to so heavily shaded that they appear to be a dark brown, from a white mane to a black mane due to shading, that it is quite a challenge to accomplish…almost an accident when you get one let alone make one with very good gaits and or a fine jump.

After about 10 years of messing around getting close to buying a mare many times(I had a clear red ID stallion with the blaze and white stockings) or buying a mare to breed to a dilute(I have a clear red ID mare with 4 whites and a blaze). My friends slap their foreheads and say not again everytime I email them another dilute for sale. I have come to the conclusion that it is tons easier to just pay the money when a true golden one is born and forget about trying to breed one and trying to sell the majority of NOT golden palominos. Of course one of the fabulous ones is a palomino Welsh Section B who is 13.3…so close…just 12 inches from perfect. They are out there.

If I found a top quality smokey black who fit every criteria except not an ee. I would happily buy them…maybe a discount!..and cross them on the true (shadeless)red (AA)chestnut (with flash) of my choice and happily accept the nice non palominos. To find the quality with the dilute is getting more and more possible…wish I wanted a palomino section B Welsh. The clear red ID stallion with flash died of old age…but I still have the clear red ID mare with flash…who ID breeders will rightly cry if I bred her to a dilute of another breed to make something as silly as a ISH Trigger. I still want a Trigger…do you know that Trigger only had 3 white feet…I want 4. PatO

Here is such a beautiful Palomino with blaze and four white stockings:

Ah Pat, I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been in love with Trigger since I was a little girl. I’m lucky that I found my perfect palomino with the blaze and four whites a year ago but I would be the happiest person in the world to look out and see a pasture full of palominos with lots of white. I’ve also been on a quest since I was 15 to find a tobiano palomino with perfect 50/50 markings and the right conformation. Either I can find the markings but on a horse with horrible conformation or there is too much white and not enough color. So the search continues.

on Facebook there is this lovely Palomino Tobiano Warmblood stallion: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001668450747&ref=ts#!/media/set/?set=a.121898084542473.19842.100001668450747&type=3 he was for sale but has since been sold said his owner, but I wanted to let you see how nice he is looking.

I have the “color” bug as well - but mine are ponies…
