Need some advice please for showing a 2 yo blagdon pony . Anyone had any experience of this? Have you shown in coloured classes and if so how have you fayred against traditional coloureds . This little man was primarily bought to drive but we're hoping to get him to a few shows if weather picks up! Thanks in advance  |

I presume your pony is a gypsy cob! in my opinion colour is second to conformation and movement, so if in a mixed coloured class and your boy is as good as any piebald/skewbald, then its purely down to the judges personal preference, the same as in mixed breed classes, the judge is sure to have a preference of one breed over another, and will naturally go for that breed if of equal quality to the others. You have to get to know what judge likes what type/breed/colour you may have and stay away from those that don't. I think you will find it better if you can find classes just for Traditional gypsy cobs, there are quite a few about now, but if yours is good enough he should do well whatever his colour. Have fun |

I think that would be classed as a coloured, as it has high white markings on his legs, white markings on legs don't usually go that high if it wasn't a coloured

Depends on what definition of coloured you're using - he would be legal as a Welsh in terms of colour. Those markings are due to sabino. Different bodies define it differently!

To be classed as coloured by chaps think he has to have white on his body above the level of stifle or elbow, so looks like he may just be one looking at his left side?

At the equestrian life champs we cater for this "in between Colour"with our roan/splashmarked/ sabino/blue eyed class, as well as traditional cobs and solid colour cobs, inmy opnionhe is a sabino and not coloured enough to be a coloured but i would like to see it it solid coloured cob and trad classes

Thanks for all your kind comments. Yes he is lovely. I wish i owned him! But there does seem to be a differing on opinion on him re coloured status. Obviously he'd need registering at chaps to be able to enter coloured classes at county level. Its up to magnuts He's certainly good enough conformation wise to show imo |

Email the photo to chaps and ask, that's what I did with one of mine.
Mine however has a white splash coming right up her side to half way up her ribs so is classed as coloured. The pony in the photo may not be as the white doesn't come too high. He does look lovely though.
