CVF Painted Crystal

1996 Sorrel Tobiano Mare

"Crystal" came to us starved and neglected. She had been shuffled from home to home, never being trained to ride. Her ground manners are great, and she has a very sweet nature. She's tall, built like a TB, and has an easy, ground-covering lope. She would probably excell at Western Pleasure.

She is out of a race-placed daughter of the legendary Mr Briar Patch. She is possibly homozygous for the tobiano gene. Later on, we'll have her tested.

She was bred to APHA's Range Cheiftain for a 2003. Sadly, in her poor condition, she was unable to carry the baby to term. She's made so much progress, we will try again in the spring for a 2004 baby, with spots garanteed!

Update:
Sadly, Crystal died in January of 2005. She developed a terrible lung infection due to some aspirated grain. She was pregnant, and we will miss her.
