Apache was a cornerstone of our herd for over five years. He now has 41 registered offspring many of which are in our Rare Gem herd. Follow the links below to view his amazing, colorFULL progeny. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Oh, my oh my! Apache is a proven herdsire with 28 cria on the ground! Sometimes words just aren't enough. If you are looking for an appaloosa harlequin stud to cover your girls and create something truly unique, look no further. This boy has it all! Apache's pedigree is packed (on both sides) with outstanding appaloosas and harlequins. It is highly probable that Apache is homozygous meaning you do not have to breed him to another harlequin or appaloosa to get a good chance of producing an appaloosa / harlequin offspring. A definite plus for those breeding for spots. With 28 offspring now sired by Apache, we have a pretty good picture of his expressivity. Of the 28 offspring on the ground (December 2021), 27 of the dams were solid colored (not appaloosa or harlequin). All but 2 of the 27 offspring are either classic appaloosa or harlequin. That is an expression rate of 93%! Ironically, the one appaloosa female that Apache was bred to threw a solid. Apache is as sure of a bet as you can get when looking for these uniquely colored / patterned alpacas. Apache's sire, Windspun WSA Patriotic Gentleman, is an appaloosa as well. He's a blue ribbon winning male that sports a beautiful fleece and strong confirmation. Patriotic Gentleman's sire is the multi-champion Hobby Horse Farm Great Expecations making his grandsire the well-known SA Peruvian Black Epic. Apache's dam, Excelsior's High Voltage Tazer, has an equally impressive background. She's the harlequin daughter of two very well-known appaloosas - NWA/Hearsum Paulo and Cookies and Cream. In May 2021, Apache's appaloosa offspring took 2nd Place - Get of Sire at CABA. UPDATE: For the first time ever, this highly expressive stud will be made available Summer of 2022. We work with international buyers and can guide you through the process. If interested, please don't wait... contact us now!

UPDATE: Bodie had a vaginal prolapse on her last pregnancy so we have decided to retire her from the breeding program. If you think you are a good, non-breeding home for Bodie, please let us know. She has a super, quirky out-going personality. She is a fun one to have around the farm. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Just wow to how this girl's fleece is maturing, we are thrilled with beautiful Bodacia.

Looking for stellar appaloosa / harlequin genetic at a great price? DarkStar might just be your guy. DarkStar's sire is the highly expressive and wildly spotted harlequin appaloosa herdsire Apache Gentleman. This line carries legendary appaloosa / harlequin genetics on both sides of the pedigree. These exciting genetics are in high demand and several of DarkStar's siblings have been exported to Europe.

DarkStar's dam is true black, Delphi's Bodacia "Bodie". Bodie is the daughter of Judges Choice and 9X grey color champion-- KVRs Peruvian True Eye Candy.

From GSire, IKE's page... JUDGE'S CHOICE WINNER FOR FLEECE!! Ike's advanced Judge's Choice fleece, which scored 87 points - puts him in a very very small class of elite classic gray herd sires. In halter, he was awarded Color Champion at arguably the toughest halter show in the country, the Futurity. is a US Steel daughter so this boy's pedigree is packed with grey genetics.

DarkStar's maternal brother 2X champion, Rare Gem Bada Bing! Now standing stud in Central California.

DarkStar is a solid youngster-- straight legs, a bright, dense, curly true black fleece. DarkStar's harlequin appaloosa sire throws appaloosas and harlequins >80 percent of the time. Unfortunately, DarkStar missed the memo on the spots. DarkStar has a 50 percent chance of carrying the appaloosa gene and being able to produce it. We believe that the chance is much better than 50 percent as he is expressing some spotting on her rear left left where you can see white and brown spots. DarkStar's color genotype is Ee a2a2 which is very desirable for an appaloosa / harlequin breeding program. If that is not your thing... DarkStar is also a nice choice for black and grey breeders given his stellar grey and black pedigree.

DarkStar is an easy to handle, sweet boy. We have a video of his first time on a halter and lead. We would be happy to send to you so you can see how great he did. No drama... just off and walking.
