The closest one in a pretty colour. I had a lady phone me the other day who has a registered Exmoor mare. Exmoors are really rare, on the endangered list. She wanted to bring her to one of my stallions, as she only lives just up the road, and she's seen what nice colours they are. No thought of gaits/temperament/use of the offspring etc, let alone breeding a pure Exmoor foal from her good mare (and the nearest Exmoor stallion is only 70 miles way), just "close and a pretty colour".
