MY FRIEND PAID $2,000 I THINK FOR HER PERLINO STUD SHE GOT LAST YEAR. I HAVE HEARD CREMELLO AND PERLINO CAN GO FOR ALOT AND A LITTLE DEPENDS ON THE HORSE.YOU ALL HAVE GREAT LOOKING PERLINOS.

THANKS MELISSA

Just a side note kind of, but it doesn't matter WHAT color a horse is unless the horse is nice even in a plain brown wrapper. If the horse is not nicely made, the color does not matter. For people who breed for dilute, perlino and cremello horses are sought after but the conformation should come first. So, to say a horse is worth a lot because it is any particular color doesn't take the statement far enough really.

I have never heard of a horse of any particular colour, especially DDs, going for lots of money merely because it is that colour.

I have heard of plenty of sellers claiming to have a "rare" colour/pattern but it is just a "come on" line to lure the unsuspecting into buying something for far more money than it is worth.

I had someone tell me they had a "rare Grullo" this was news to me as I have trouble NOT breeding them- Rabbit being a Red Dun he produced nothing BUT Black Duns one year!!!

Then of course there are those "rare Fewspots" that are usually greyed out Appies!!!

Basically these things are just "cons" by the sellers in order to sell a horse, and should not be taken seriously.

That being said, patterns and colours certainly do become "fashionable" - one year you will have no end of market for Pintos- the next year you will not be able to sell a Pinto for love or money and everyone will want Buckskins, so- NEVER buy a horse for it's colour or it's pattern, buy it because it is a good horse and you really like it- the colour and pattern are secondary.
