Elphin April Showers is a 1996
grey (born dark bay) mare, out of Aluinn dé Haoine. April was
born in a particularly wet spring, hence the name. As a baby, she was
the sweetest little thing, always curious and interested in her human
friends. She was also a bit of a tomboy, growing up with three colt
foals as playmates.
