Her color is the deepest and prettiest shade of red in the breed. She is one classy girl with her beautiful color, her great full pedigree, and her wonderful conformation.

Leah Patton from ADMS says that Jazzberry is a black roan and sure enough there are white hairs poking through that black hair. Her body is black with absolutely no stripe. Her face is very unusual with all different colors...red, black, white. Even her legs have a lot of roaning. We should have named her Kaleidoscope!!
