DARLEY GEMSTONE [dec]

2005-2007 Skewbald filly
Reg AMPS, APSB, VPS

Sire: Shanusti Dane's Devil (piebald)
Dam: Domino Downs Fire Flight (chestnut)

Gem was a small filly who was successfully shown as a foal, winning Barastoc Foal of the Year amongst other things.

She only went to one show as a yearling, and was clipped out in preparation for a full 2yo show season when she died suddenly after either running into a fence post or suffering a brain anurism/hemorrage. What a loss and irreplaceable.
