I don't know how you do it!  She's also a Falabella Blend going back to Chianti.  She was hardshipped into AMHR, so hope you got both registry paperwork.

Four registered foals in AMHA -- all Appaloosa, two of each.

Sending you a PM

Thankyou!! Yes, I have both sets of papers. She s a really sweet girl, a bit on the Chubb side, but moves beautifully. She's currently in foal to isles smokin  aces, a fewspot stallion.  Not confirmed though.
He is a fewspot so looking forward to an appy foal!

He's a beautiful fewspot and proven to throw nicely.

Thanks y'all!
She is settling in pretty well. Sassy is being her sassy self, but the rest are pleased.

I was working on her pedigree, and re-looked at the pictures.  She looks like she has snowflakes?  And she's registered as a sorrel appaloosa, but she looks like a red roan to me or varnished out (with those dark legs from the knees down)?

What say you?

It's hard, I would call her a varnish appaloosa, chestnut based. I was told she had a blanket when she was born.

I can see a mild white rump in this picture.  Is it like a snowcap?

Personally, I hope you are testing her, and can't wait for the results.  Very hard to see, but it does appear there is a white part of her butt before she roaned out.

I really need to.... I will also check out her parents to see if it's possible

Ok i can't find pictures of her parents, not sure if one or both were appy. I took pics and can kind of see were she might have a blanket.
She has striped feet, I was thinking that homo LP had solid white.... not sure
Hi

The only thing I have is that her sire was a solid chestnut, but all of her dam's stock was coming out of appaloosas -- and her great-grandsire was Chianti, of course a black leopard.  Her grandsire on her dam's side was Pepper, pure Falabella, son of Chianti, but solid black, which we know can throw some great color.

I can't find any pictures of her sire or dam, so if you have them, please forward them to me for her picture pedigree.

I can't find any either. I will keep looking and asking.
My guess is then that she is LP/ lp and no patrn1.
All her foals have been appaloosa so far, when bred to a near leopard.
So being bred to a fewspot, I am pretty excited!
Hoping to know soon how many foals are coming in 2019!
