Despina is a fancy and special filly in all areas! She has the beautiful neck of her dam line and is harmonious in all her proportions. She is well built for having foals as well as riding.

She has the most amazing amounts of long thick hair and is an absolute model of luxurious hair. We already have to keep her forelock braided into two braids to keep it out of her eyes!

Despina bats her big eyes under that thick mop of shimmery hair and everyone who meets her is smitten. She is feminine and stunningly beautiful to look at.

Her movement is impressive with reach, suspension and push. She is very balanced and light on her feet and should be a very smooth and comfortable ride. Despina has the athleticism to succeed in many disciplines with her own special flair and style.

Despina is sweet, a good listener and easy to handle for trimming and vet work. She is a feminine and pretty young lady who should mature in the 15.2 range. If you are shopping for a stunning beauty with exotic Andalusian looks and the movement of a champion, you’ve found Despina.

Well that’s the question with Despina!

To look at she is a flaxen chestnut but with a silver mane and tail. Technically by DNA test her color is EeAtA. Which means she is bay carrying a brown modifier. When she was older she was retested and found to be carrying a grey gene they said she got from her sire who is a roaned bay but has been that color his whole life and is registered internationally as bay.

Despina has a silver/flaxen colored mane and tail but she has no white hairs around her eyes or any signs she is supposedly turning grey.

So my guess is that Comico has some weird unusual grey modifier that may test as grey but does not act like it. And it modifies base color enough as a sort of washed out color. Most of his kids look like wild bays or browns or other muted colors.

Almost like a silver gene but not quite. She has been tested for silver and is negative. Despina does not have black points but her one dark foot does get a light brown at the bottom. She does have some black hairs in her mane and tail. It’s very weird, but very pretty.
