Breeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The breeding bug began with their original broodmare ‘Bright Eyes’, Lady was a beautiful mad chestnut mare who became the heart of their equine family and when she produced three superb foals it gave Jill the motivation to study gene pools and blood lines and there began a love of Appaloosas and all things spotty! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the original stallions, ‘EBA Negative Equity’ known as Bryan, is an Appaloosa and has since being gelded, Bryan is currently enjoying a happy retirement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
