Billie Joe Freckles (1968-1994) was the first
Appaloosa to be shown Grand Prix in America. In fact, there had
been a friendly bet with Kit Young in Florida as to who would be
the first Grand Prix Appy - Billie Joe or her horse, Lord
Butterscotch. Billie Joe was sold by Kathleen Stringer to Shelly
Rosenberg in 1980, then sold to Anne Gribbons a few years later
where he was very influential in introducing riders to t he sport
of Dressage.
