right AJC1Hugh wiley rode nautical"The horse with flying tail"with the flying tail" found by Cappy smith;he was a jumper.
I think more and more riders are wanting something a littel different 
I took my 2 year old pallie warmbllod to a breed show a couple of weeks ago…He won Supreme Champion Palomino as well as REserve Champion Warmblood…against some “normal” coloured warmbloods. Guess the judge looked through the colour and saw a nicely put together horse :yes:
I am pretty proud!!!

Would love peoples thoughts on this.
Imagine a warmblood about 16.3 mark…so nice and tall…with lovely elevated movement and built elegantly entering the dressage arena. He is palomino…would this be a downfall? Do you think the judges will hate his colour and score him lower?
Or do you think they will see past the colour and judge him according to his work? I know what the answer SHOULD be, but this doesnt always happen in REAL life!
WE are talking about a quality animal here, bred for dressage abilites…not just for colour.[/QUOTE]

GLS - have met “Gus” quite a few times as Lee Pearson is local to me, cracking horse - Lee let my God-daughter groom him so we could take a photo.
There are not that many big pals around here doing Affiliated dressage. I lost my big Palomino boy in 2000, and he did ok.
Although we were placed first at one show, the judge actually said to me later that he didn’t like “Palominos” but that he was a good one:lol:
There are some cracking coloured horses competing, but only one that one big Palomino that I know of. So much like my lad, that I asked the breeding:D
A good horse comes in any colour as my dad always says.
Kindest regards
