actually, not so unusual. In the monthly palomino magazine there is a
full page column each month discussing "gaited goldens". Lots of good
bloodlines in the saddlebred world that are golden.
Back "in the day"....the phba shows were not just limited to "stock
type"--included saddleseat classes and such. (and for a point of
reference, so did the appy shows).
Pretty horse though.

Thanks, Betsey, for the info. Yes, *very* purty horse indeed. :-) JJ
When I rode Dusty in Palomino Pleasure classes, we'd often be competing
against all styles of horses and riding. There was one saddlebred type
who wasn't really cut out for showing, though he had gorgeous color. He
used to regularly have conniptions in the class, and we all learned to
keep our distance.
His owner tried every kind of tack change known to man trying to find
some way to show him: western, huntseat, saddleseat and various bits;
but he just wasn't having any part of it.

These days, PHBA showing seems centered on "stock horse"
breeds...paint, qh, appy. though....there are numerous recognized
registries that PHBA allows to register as paly, if you've got a
yellow one with those registry papers. if you have a gelding, you can
submit registration papers even if you don't know who's in the
woodpile <g>.
Yep, we're still a color breed!

I think it always will be because there's no guarantee that a foal
will be a palomino.
You can't breed two palominos to each other to get a palomino.
For that reason alone it's never going to be a breed.
It's just the most beautiful color <g>

absolutely Hunter! though I do find the new permit program "as good
as gold" a joke.....(if your non yellow horse has a yellow parent, you
can purchase a "permit" to show in As good as gold classes...)

Several years back we looked at some Golden American Saddlebreds in
WV. They were pretty and we seriously considered them. Sadly, the
seller pulled a "bait and switch" so we walked away.
I've had a palomino Walker and we have a yellow Marchador stallion.
He's produced palomino and cremello get (the latter is not good in the
Marchador breed).
Unfortunately, when any one equine characteristic becomes the sole
criteria for breeding (color, gait, speed, etc.) then you'll have
problems.

Not a joke, just a way of padding the entries to shows that are
suffering a lack of them in a down economy..You can take that to the
bank, and they are planning on it.

That's beyond bizarre.... these stupid organizations will try anything
to bring in some extra bucks.

Why do you say Unusual? Is it the size and color? ASB's can top off at
18 hands, and there are quite a few pally's out there. This one looks
like it would be a nice moving horse. The arab lines add refinement and
make for a prettier animal in general. That crossbreed has been around a
lot longer than the national show horse registry which was a money
making scam by Lasma Arabians to make a "purebred" out of a half arab.
Overall, I'd say that that particular horse is not all that unusual in
terms of size or conformation of that particular cross. The only thing
mildly unusual would be the color, and even that isn't all that out of
the ordinary.
Well I didn't realize NSH come in palomino because I didn't think ASBs
or arabs did.
Also, I didn't realize NSBs were a scam. :)
There is one in my barn and he is very nice.
Learn something new.

Its NSH/ national show horse.. just another term for an Ay-rab,
saddlebred cross, and those have been around since half arab horses have
been registered. The half arab registry didn't allow any half arab
stallions to stand at stud as they were supposed to be an offshoot of
arab breeding for the benefit of arab stallion owners. Lasma and the
LaCroix family were into showing saddlebreds prior to getting into the
showing and breeding of arabs. They saw the creation of a "new" registry
as a means of getting more money for what was essentially a half arab.
When that particular registry of horses became less of a rarity, the
LaCroix family started importing Dutch Harness horses to cross with
arabs and started yet another registry the Renai (renaissance) registry.
I guess what they wanted there was a rebirth of finances as the arab
market had thoroughly tanked on them due to overbreeding and the sudden
loss of long term capital gains advantages. Yes the horses are nice, but
any hard knocking arab saddlebred cross is likely to be a nice animal if
the two horses crossed are well conformed and good tempered.
I'd love to see pictures of your Marchador stud!
As far as the cremello, it's only been in recent years that the AQHA
would allow cremello's to be registered. Though, with a cremello, if
you cross to chestnut=yellow or to a bay you'd get buckskin.
I agree with your statement of "one equine characteristic", which is
why i suppose that the PHBA is still a color regestry, not an
ancestral one. Macho being yellow allows me to show with a group of
extremely nice and fun people. If he were not yellow...i don't know
that I'd venture into AQHA waters....

At a recent show, there was a saddlebred farm there with 2 or 3 entries
... none of which could behave in the ring (I thought giving the one
that spend several seconds bucking a second place ribbon in a pleasure
class was especially touching). Of course, the riders weren't much
better at behaving -- their favorite past time seemed to be cutting
across the ring and crowding other exhibitors.

Theodore Roosevelt:
A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything
real on real issues.
A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the
user.
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government
owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.
I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about
what I think of what I do! That is character!
It is difficult to make our material condition better by the best law,
but it is easy enough to ruin it by bad laws.
The worst lesson that can be taught a man is to rely upon others and to
whine over his sufferings. If an American is to amount to anything he
must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in
his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others; he
must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can and accept
defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow-men a
responsibility which is not theirs.
I witnessed the same type of weird placing in a hunter class. This
particular specimine was not only gaited, he was also wearing those high
shoes popular in the saddleseat classes. That particular barn had a
hissy fit when their saddlebred was beaten in a model horse class by tbs
and qhs under a hunter judge. Duh...that particular judge always went
for turnout and who he thought made the nicest hunter or wp horse.
