Sire - Shiney and Nu (QH, USA)
Dam - Appydale's Lily Infewsion
Judge's comments
Well conformed colt with good neck, refined head wide set eyes (on corners of head).
Great hind quarter well defined and powerful strong through loin and an athletic front end.
Straight action in gaits and trapezoid angles excellent.
As a western trainer this colt exhibits a trait that I constantly look for, that is his ability to hold his rear end and turn freely through his front end. He does this naturally with every turn (in video). Always balanced and smooth.
A colt with great presence that should do well in what ever field he is destined.
Reserve Champion
Mighty Bewitching
Bred and entered by Sparkling Acres Appaloosas, Wellsford, New Zealand
Sire: Mighty Luminous

Judge's comments
A short coupled strong foal with a well defined powerful hind quarters strong into gaskins, a little heavy through neck and shoulders, but in proportion with good angles and straight action. A strong type which should make a versatile athlete.
