Keela is the 3rd foal born out of Chriona on our farm. From the first few hours of her birth, she has been friendly and curious – an “in-your-pocket” kind of girl :-) Keela has been handled on a daily basis, and comes running to the fence when she sees one of us approaching. Keela, which means “Great Beauty” in Gaelic, really is an appropriate name for this sweet filly. Her markings are extraordinary, and she has the ink spots which usually indicate being homozygous for the Tobiano pattern. (Further testing results to come.) Already Keela is developing an amazing amount of feathering for such a young filly. Her neck has the beautiful arch so desired in the Gypsy Vanner breed, and she is quite the chunk, another valuable trait in this breed. Keela has inherited the sweet, delicate and refined head of her sire, Dazzle Dance. She also has a heart shape on her back, which we find so amazing considering her dam’s name, Chriona, means “Heart-felt” in Gaelic. Overall, we have great expectations for this lovely filly in the years to come!

Keela tests Homozygous for both Tobiano and Black!!! We have just received the DNS testing results for Keela. As we expected due to her "inkspots" she is positive for Tobiano (TT). As a bonus she is also positive for only the black gene (EE).
