Spring Valley’s Memphis
”Memphis” (gelding) born June 9, 2021
Dam: “Mila” (grade Appaloosa mare)
Sire: “Spring Valley’s Royal” (FBHR)
Memphis is such a cute guy. He has a pretty significant overbite, which is the reason we did not breed Royal back to Mila for another foal - those Friesian genetics just didn’t agree with her Appaloosa heritage! Aside from his overbite, this guy is really well-built and possesses a world of potential.
As a baby, Memphis was very unsure and shy, but as he has grown up he has become much friendlier and more interested in playing with people. He has a very meek, lovely personality that is very “middle of the road”. He is reactive enough to be workable but not hyper-sensitive either. I’m so excited to see what lies ahead for this beauty!
