Sired by PRINCES JIM, a few-spot son of PRINCE PLAUDIT, and out of BARRETTA BRIGHT a MIGHTY BRIGHT daughter, PRINCE SHANNON entered the world with the advantage of carrying two of the best bloodlines in the Appaloosa breed. The 1974 stallion earned a Reserve National Yearling Halter title, as well as a Junior Championship at the Grand National Show at the Cow Palace. The heavily-muscled leopard established his presence further as a World and National Champion sire.
