She was purchased from Chad Lauderdale in Mississippi in 2020. We were told she was registered, but the person Chad got her from did not provide her papers. She may have originally been from Kentucky. Any help locating this mare's papers would be appreciated. We ran the DNA test through TWHBEA but no results matched (she's just on the cusp of the DNA program, so that's not unusual.) Constance is homozygous for black and heterozgyous for Overo and W20 (pseudo sabino). Since she is perfect in every other way aside from knowing her pedigree, we opted to keep her even though we can't locate her TWHBEA papers. Though I have a passion for studying walking horse bloodlines (and have amassed a HUGE collection of information on them in our Walking Horse History section), I've always believed that the horse itself is the most important thing to judge. I've always said "I'd rather have a fantatastic grade horse over a junk horse with a great pedigree" and this mare made me put my belief into action. I believe my decision paid off, as Constance has produced three phenomenial fillies with Darrahs Handsome Traveler.

Constance was selected for our riding
lesson and lease program despite being sold as "registered but papers
lost." She had miles and miles of trail experience, we were told she was
shown and she was everything we look for in a mare: good mind, excellent
bone, great conformation and natural four beat gaits (specially flatwalk,
running walk and saddle gait.)
