As you can see, Iris has been with me since she was just 6 months old. And what a change! Compare her baby picture to her three year old portrait above! Iris came from Weller ranch in South Dakota, where i chose her for her color, conformation and her gentle disposition. The horses bred at Weller Ranch have a fine reputation as good using horses, especially for cattle work. I have begun riding her
this year, and she is proving to be a smooth and willing riding mare. Iris is in foal to our foundation fewspot stud, Klikitat, for a 2009 foal. When breeding a non appaloosa, it is wise to use a homozygous stallion of all appaloosa blood to insure color on the foal!
Iris' blue roan coat has many seasonal colors from black to very light with dark points, steel grey, and in her spring shed, she even showed some spotting .. must be the company she keeps!
