Sampson, a Classic Champagne quarter horse stallion, has been turned loose from a conformation photo session and is in a hurry to get back to his mares. In this picture you can clearly see the reverse dappling that is found on some champagne horses. Reverse dappling is dark spots surrounded by lighter lacing. On Sampson the dappling effect is best seen when he sheds his winter coat.

Sampson is a Classic Champagne color quarter horse stallion. He has spotted another stallion and is ready to protect his territory. The classic champagne color is the result of breeding a black horse with a horse that carries the dilute champagne color gene.
