I agree with Charlotte and CJMM6. Color IS important to many! But as stated, conformation comes first.
I breed for loud colored overos and toveros, but if they don't have the conformation to win in halter, then they are not going to win in color either. Wins in the color classes are important to me and I can tell you that they are important to my buyers!
I won't buy a horse on just color alone as I have seen some pretty badly conformed ones with undesirable traits for sale. Nor will I take one out and show it just because it has 'color'. But those with wild color patterns and halter quality conformation are just icing on the cake!
