Additional Notes

Possibly captured 2007?
This mare is the dam of a gelding with blue eyes, Mt Weld Knight King (dam Mt Weld Phoenix). We don’t accept blue eyes as a Waler trait, so this listing is subject to DNA testing for overo and splash.
There is a simple test that can be done to show what gene causes blue eyes. It may be harmless such as a form of sabino. However blue eyes are not trait wanted in Walers. Most good breeds have a form of safety to keep their breed traits by not registering traits they don’t want.
As overo and splash white were not in Walers it’s best these traits are kept out.
