Hi:
I believe I own the dam of this buckskin mare you are
going to look at for possible purchase. I really like
my mare, Elva from Saga California. I bought her
several years ago as an older broodmare from Oregon.
She was originally one of Elisabeth Haugs horses. She
has never been broke to ride so can't tell you about
gaits under saddle. She was 17 I think when I bought
her so don't think I will ever try to ride her. She
has a very sweet personality and a very good mother.
She takes good care of her babies but still lets me
play with them. All the foals she has had here have
shown soft gaits but she has always been crossed with
strongly gaited stallions. She is not buckskin even
tho her registration labels her as such. I have had
her DNA color typed because I doubted the buckskin and
she tested with one black gene and one red gene, no
agouti. She does have a clear dorsal stripe. I can
send you pics of Elva if you would like. I would like
a pic I could save of this mare if you could send it
to me so I can save it. I like to keep records of all
foals out of horses I own. This one is already grown
so a big bonus. Denise in WV
