SD WHISTLER - $15,000
Son of Woolly Mammoth X SD Dollar (Blue Roan)
Born: 2009
Registration: GHRA B00000905

Whistler was born and bred in England by the Down family. The Downs are true
Romany Gypsy people and have been breeding proper cobs for generations. Whistler
is another fine example of the Down's top-notch breeding program. Whistler has a
nice, stout build and megafeather. Whistler's feather begins at the hocks on his back
legs and above his knees on his front legs. He has long feather on both the front and
back of each leg. He has a thick, double mane. If you are looking for both quality and
color, Whistler may well be your boy.

Whistler is a true blue roan. If you are looking for a true roan, please be aware that the
terms 'blue' and 'blue roan' are often used to describe a variety of colors including
gray, sabino, and true roan. Often the color patterns look very similar, especially when
you throw in the tobiano pattern. True roans typically have dark points, heads, manes,
and tails. Their color does not change over time, other than seasonal variations. Gray
horses lighten with age.  The genetics of gray, sabino and roan are different, so if you
are looking for an actual roan, gray, or sabino please verify the color through DNA
color testing.

Whistler was imported from England.
