    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...

    We purchased Pepper as a maiden from at the 2020 Autumn Amber Auction. Pepper is an attractive female with all of the ingredients needed for a wonderful production dam. Sire AOV Accoyo Eros worked his magic crossed over a Jericho/Jeremiah/Mr. President daughter. Throw in some Royal Fawn/Vengador on the top side and what do you get? Pepper!! ... a lovely female with very nice phenotype, an attractive head, strong well-balanced frame and a perfect bite. Her fleece displays density, fineness, stap...

    Description

    Looking to build a foundation herd for an appaloosa-harlequin program? Here is one for your consideration!

    Pepper's Spice Girl is a lovely maiden sired by harlequin stud, Taupie's Son-Shine. Spice Girl is a mini-me of her dam, TAG Pepper, who is is proven harlequin appaloosa producer. Spice Girl's GSire, Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia, is a striking, well-proven harlequin appaloosa male. At the time of this writing, he has 53 offspring on the ground of which 74% are expressed appy or harley.

    Spice is an well-built, elite fleeced girl. She took Reserve Color Champion as a yearling. She only has one spot that we can see, but her color genotype-- ee a1a2 and her appaloosa and harlequin lineage on her sire's side make her an excellent candidate for an appaloosa and harlequin breeding program.

    Spice Girl has a soft-handle with dense and crimpy fleece. She has curb appeal galore with a pleasing head style-- including butterfly ears! She has a perfect bite, a clean current fecal report from Oregon State University and weighs 138 lbs.

    Spice Girl was bred to appaloosa stud, Chimbote from MaRS for a September 2024 offspring, This is an exciting pairing with a high probability for appaloosa or harlequin coloration and exquisite fleece.
