Most unusual Buckskin leopard spotted filly, with some of her spots being dark around the edges, and the buckskin or 'dun' colour in the middle.  She is a real eyecatcher, and a super mover too !  Well muscled, as would be expected of her breeding, she would make an ideal mount for someone wishing to compete in Western disciplines. She should make 14.3 - 15hh, just right for a young rider or light-medium adult.
Sire: Few spot Appaloosa stallion owned by Arthur Megarry, Burnbrae Stud, Ballymena.
Dam: Abbeyleix Golden Girl ( Polly ) - Grade A Showjumper (ISH), retired.
