We’ve extended our Splash of Color feature on YourDressage! Whether your horse is a registered Paint, Appaloosa, Knabstrupper, or Gypsy Horse, sports a patched or spotted coat, or wears lots of chrome, this month is for you!
We recently asked our social media followers to share photos of their loudly colored horses, and let us know what makes these horses so special. Below, you can see some of their photos and stories, and check out Part One, Part Two, Part Three, and Part Four! Keep an eye out for more galleries and exclusive stories featuring these incredibly special horses through the end of January 2022!

He started by doing 3rd level and with Danielle has gotten up to Intermediate 1.
