Born black on April Fools Day, Princess shed out a dark brown. While she has not been dna tested for creme we do know she carries the dilute gene as her offspring have been tested and found to be  'smoky black' which is the cream gene (responsible for buckskin and palomino) on top of a black base.  Princess has produced three skookum built smoky black colts; two blanketed by All Round Texas and one solid by Rein Dancer SSH.

Princess is owned by Forest Edge Appaloosas of Montana. Her pedigree reflects their excellent breeding program designed to produce foals that are pretty, athletic, and that perform well in many disciplines.

Her sire, Mighty Rustler, was a Multiple Medallion Sire with foals winning everything from halter futurities to World Qualifiers in every category offered.. Mighty Rustler combined the awesome working bloodlines of Mighty Peavy with the pretty cattle horses of the Rustler bloodlines.

Her dam, Plaudit Sunbright produced a res world champion and Cdn national champion who is a full brother to Princess. Her famous sire, Mighty Tim, was a world champion, national champion, and champion sire.

Princess was ridden and trained approximately 10 months.  Most of the training time was spent  reining and working cowhorse  due to her exceptional athleticism (and her breeding)  - Todd Campbell of Montana (reining), Steve Smith of Colorado (riding, reining) and Jim Jirkovsky of Nebraska.  She is solidly broke for an experienced rider but does not like "pressure" of working cow and will quit the cow.  She was never worked/trained for the more quiet events and there's no reason she can't be shown the quieter side of riding.
