    Description

    Son-Shine's sire is the ever-popular Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia, a appaloosa/harlequin. Talk about adding color to your herd!! Son-Shine was born spotted as a cria but as he got older, his color has deepened and is more uniform across the blanket. He still has the black spots on his nose and has the cutest phenotype ever. Son-Shine is a compact male yet sheared 9.2 lbs of fabulous fleece in May 2021!

    Son-Shine is a natural with the ladies. He settled several girls last year and his first offspring arrived on 11/21/21-- A lovely fawn female out of TAG Pepper... an elite-fleeced fawn female purchased from Amber Autumn Auction as a foundation female.
