Description

6 Shows ~ 6 Blues ~ 5 Championships

We are proud to announce that we were able to purchase Shades of Ebony at the 2017 Futurity Auction. She was a very sought after lot and are happy that Julie and Mike Delaney offered her for sale. Shades of Ebony generated a lot of interest at the auction and we feel that the fleece manipulation that comes with that cost her the championship. We are confident that she will rebound and banner once again at GWAS.

Shades of Ebony comes from a line of champion greys, including her 5-time champion sire, Irish Meadows P Shades of Silver, and his 10-time champion mom, Shades of Grace. On the maternal side, Shades of Ebony descends from Accoyo Express, sire of many, many champions.
