"A mare that was a considerable improvement over her parents. Schille became a broodmare of real merit. A very dry, beautiful, and extremely typy mare, she also was used for riding at the Kellogg ranch." ref: Carol Mulder

Dr. Bowling’s [mtDNA] study suggested that the identity of the mares Saleefy and Freda were inadvertently switched after 1918 when the mares were shipped by rail from Hingham Stock Farm in Massachusetts to the Diamond Bar Ranch in California. At that time, they were both mature bay mares with minimal white markings. If this switch did occur, then Schilla (registered as a daughter of Saleefy) was actually a daughter of Freda (descended from the the Hamidie horses *Obeyran, *Mannaky, and *Galfia).
