1991 Lipizzan mare - Bred by Anne and Lance Lombardo
Sire: Siglavy Dalea   Dam: Beladona (bay mare)
Average Evaluation Score of her foals: 80%

Dressage and long rein training. Also likes the trails. She has produced several excellent foals. Her dam was bay, so although Sophia is grey, she is Heterozygous Grey, and carries a bay/non-grey gene and can produce non-grey offspring. Her grey daughter, Sorria has produced a bay colt.

SOLD - Congratulations Jeniffer Farrar of Las Vegas, Nevada
