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!
Do you want to share a photo of your colorful horse? E-mail us at yourdressage@gmail.com for your chance to be featured!

He started by doing 3rd level and with Danielle has gotten up to Intermediate 1. They earned her silver medal together.The really cool thing about Kodak is that one day he can be working on 1 tempis and the next day he can give a beginner Jr or AA rider their first riding lesson. He currently has 6 different people he gives weekly lessons to AND is working towards earning Danielle’s scores for her Gold Medal.
