    Make that 8!! TIME Champion!! Halter & Fleece!!

    SECOND PLACE GET OF SIRE - California Classic 2012!!! YIPEE!!

    FIRST CRIA ON THE GROUND and he is a STUNNING Dark Silver Grey with just an absolute PRESENCE about him - oh and crimp, and bone, and bundilng... Catch him at the spring show circuit where Derwydd shows!

    Well now we can add DENSITY to his list - Tortora's skin biopsy is back and we have upped his
    stud fee based on the numbers! wow. Density: 50.3 /mm2 ~ Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 10.0 :1
    Pretty good for a fawn guy with a GREY sire!!

    Lineage!!
    Derwydd Luciano's Totora.. we took our VERY BEST DAM - Inti-Sapa's Sunrise (2x Champion - incredible fleece) and bred her to Peruvian Luciano(Rose Grey).. who has created a number of champions for us. His progeny have collected over 19 Champion awards. We wanted incredible fleece, great density, long staple, and wowee style.. and boy did we get it.

    Totora has Style.. capital letter style! His has a perfect head, dense thick bone, level topline, well balanced dimensions, correct angulation and teeth exactly where they should be. His fleece exhibits a high frequency, low amplitude crimp, distinct bundling, brightness, density and a soft hand. ALL of which is why he has been awarded 8 Championships/Reserves in both Halter and Fleece - so the judges have seen the entire package and also seen the stand alone fleece qualities and agreed.. this male deserved the championships he won!

    First crias are on the ground and are looking good!

    Description

    Forget Me Not joined the Rare Gem Herd in September 2018. She exhibits all the qualities that we look for... fineness, density, fleece character, disposition... oh... I won't bore you with our long list! We love her and are very excited to see what she can do in our program.

    Forget Me Not was bred to the wildly spotted appaloosa harlequin, Apache Gentleman. This pairing brings a nice fusion of sought after appaloosa genetics (Forget Me Not also carries Peruvian Platinum on her father’s side). The result was a gorgeous harlequin appaloosa female whom we have named Apache's Polka-hontis. "Hona", as we call her, was born prematurely but is doing great. We have repeated the breeding for a 2021 cria. We hope for a repeat... other than the timing. Going for a full gestation this round!

    What else to be excited about? Don't forget her 8X champion sire, Derwydd Luciano's Totora, producer of champions and known to throw color when bred to color!
