Paddyngton's Mark of Distinction

Paddyngton's Mark of Distinction and owner/trainer Holly Armstrong of Meadow Reflections Farm, Howell, Michigan are proud to continue the rich history of the old west. The show stopping duo are traveling the country to defend their title as the reigning 2013 Ohio State Fair Open Parade Horse and Saddle Type Western Equipment Division World Champions! Paddyngton's Mark of Distinction, or Marcus to his friends, is a 2007 Pinto Saddlebred Gelding (CH El Cortez x Hope's True Colors). Marcus's impressive pedigree reveals that he is a grandson of Scripps Miramar Ranch's famed Chubasco, who was honored as a Breyer model in 2006. You can certainly see the family resemblance! At a striking 17.0 hands, Marcus exemplifies true, correct American Saddlebred conformation.

Holly Armstrong specializes in quality Spotted American Saddlebreds and has won over 50 world and national titles in Parade divisions and on the Pinto show circuit. A true show horse, Marcus loves competing in Parade - the louder the crowd, the more animated he gets! Holly Armstrong owns and shows in vintage Ted Flower Parade sets and spends countless hours designing her own parade outfits, flowers and ribbons for each performance. Marcus even sports a particularly unique illuminated set for evening parades and performances!
