I dont know whether it is a boy or girl thing Renee, I just put it down to temperament. This filly's Mum is my spotted girl and I will try to get Cathy to send me the pics of Kyrian and this filly's half brother (a spotty colt especially for Diane!!) who's temperament is exactly the same even though he was 3 at the time of the pics and had already covered his first mare.
