Another PM suggestion gave me an idea...
This rather handsome fella is a rather unusual colour, called Sable Dun. It's basically a Seal Brown (or Seal Bay) horse with both the Dun dilution and also a Champagne dilution. His colours are Irish Flag Green and White, with his symbol being the Four-Leaved Clover. Where he comes from this symbol means luck and fortune.

Show Name:Shamrock Shimmy
Barn Name:Sham
Age:6
Gender: Stallion
Breed: Connemara x Tennessee Walking Horse (Mine is A champagne. And, the Champagne gene has an interesting fact, that should aid in selecting a breed.)
Colouration: Sable Dun
Personality: Shame is a very docile Stallion. He's fairly friendly with other stallions, but doesn't like his boundaries tested. He behaves well around Mares, but he's certainly a ladies man. Nearly every rider that has taken Sham into a tournament has won, even those with the odds bested against them. They believe himto be a luck horse- and he is in high demand more oft' than not. But, he doesn't let his 'fame' get to his head. HE i very focused on his duties,and tries his best to please everyone. He will, on occasion, get a wild streak in him. on those days-well. No one is so lucky to be caught in his path.
History: Sham was born to a wealthy family -whose descendants were knights of olden times. Unfortuneatly, those folks were far to focused on their money making and their lineage to be anything but brutes to their workers and their animals. they cared only for themselves. So, they over used their brood mares and stallions, trying to produce the best possible foals. When Sham was born, his mother told him to be brave, and tried to keep him hidden for as long as she could. Luck must have smiled down on them, for hewasn't discovered for some time later. Though, when he was, they noticed something odd about him. He wasn't like the other foals- his markings, his coloring, and his gait were just all sorts of odd. They soon discovered she had foaled an 'impure' being, and became violent with the mother. sadly for Sham, she didn't make it. Her screams to flee and never look back still echo in his head today. But, lucky as sham was, he did indeed escape those awful people, and found a home with a more humble family. They, too, where descendants of knights, only they didn't let all their past fame and glory get to their heads. They tookfantastic care of Sham, and started training him for the friendly tournaments still hosted today. The family, much to old and withered to participate in the event, rent him out to riders for the event. He has made the family more money than they could ever hope to have seen- but they refuse to sell him.He is one of the best kept horses out there, and SHam isn't too keen on leaving that safety either.
Other: may do some art for him. not sure. he's wonderful! I'm part irish, so this was the other i was going to try for . Hope his luck rubs off on me. hehe
