Consigner: Stephanie Dove - Brayers Are Us Karnes City, Texas Gray-Dun/Light Brown Jennet DOB: 12/06/2001 Birth Height: 19½" Sire: DMF Lil Bit O'Bandito, 31½" Dark Brown Grand Sire: PMF Guido Bandito, 32" Dark Brown Grand Dam: Bonies Kassi, 31½" Black/Brown Dam: Jacks or Better Queen of Hearts, 31" Silver Gray-Dun Grand Sire: Someday's Jake, 32½" Gray-Dun Grand Dam: Unnamed Triple C, Gray-Dun Felice is yet another fine example of quality. Her full sister was consigned to last years NASS and she is quite a looker with her small size and great conformation. Felice will also be a great addition to your herd. She is a great grand daughter of the famed Charlie Bandito as well as Someday's Popa's Money. She has a lot of small size and will be a valued asset in the future. She is a super friendly jennet. Congratulations to Kathleen Heiken Iowa!

She is a proven brood jennet that breeds and foals easily. Very nice temperament as well as conformation. She will be in foal to Arbor Ledge Little Red, a 31½" Sorrel. You can expect a well put together foal next June. It is not often that you can purchase a nice sorrel jennet bred to a sorrel jack that is unrelated to most known sorrels. Congratulations to Elms Farm Dowell & Martha Howard Ohio!
