Thanks condundrum I hope he makes your wallet fat!
hes emptying mine at the moment but life short and you have to live your dreamsExcellent, always loved coloureds they compete at just about everything else bar racing so lets hope this comes off. I do remember being at Towcester one day and there was a coloured ran in the bumper, ran well too without winning.
There have been some good eventers that were coloureds, Lorna Clarke (nee Sutherland) was 8th at Badminton on Popadom a fine Skewbald in the late 60s and I think won a team gold at the world championships at Punchestown about 40 years ago. There are all sorts of coloured cobs in the show ring, but thye don’t seem as popular among the top show jumpers. Three of my four trips round Langholm Common Riding were Skewbalds. They are usually tough and sound so very good luck with that.

Don’t forget Torrance Watkins’ horse, the diminutive
Poltroon
. Won a Bronze medal at the the alternate Olympics games in 1980 (due to the Moscow boycott) and a runner up at Badminton a year or two later. He was the result of a cross between a coloured pony and a TB stallion.
Here’s a pic of them in action http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae30 … oon001.jpg
