Navajo Coups and NorthStar Bright Sun have created two stunning foals in the past, both leopard from nose to toes. She is an Ulrich Sioux Chief daughter, and he is an Ulrich Sioux Chief grandson - just enough genetic overlap to secure some great genetics but enough other horses in the pedigree to add some freshness! This foal will be purebred Appaloosa and will probably be leopard (knock me over with a feather if it isn't!) and actually should look very much like our Sunny daughter Cassie. Both parents are easy gaited and very smart, so this foal should be a great riding partner! Cooper's due date is May 30, 2011.
BBR Chinootkas Lady and Howling Wind GHR have been bred in the hopes of creating an extraordinary foal that will put together the best of some uncommon lines and some fabulous favorites: Toby's Nootka and Super Smoke's Charger on her side and Siri Sheik and Garvin Height's breeding on his side. This foal will be foundation Appaloosa, will be one of our taller foals, and should have some beautiful movement and conformation. Lady's due date is May 27, 2011, but her one and only foal had a gestation of 423 days. So we have two counters: one for a normal, 335 day gestation and one for 423 gestation. Any bets on this one's delivery date?
CTR Eagles Angelica and Howling Wind GHR will produce not only a foal of uncommon breeding but will likely produce a beautiful moving foal with a sweetheart personality. Both Slick and Howl have old bloodlines up close in their pedigrees, and Slick and Howl both carry Money Creek Rockledge through their dams. This should be a versatile and beautiful foundation Appaloosa foal with definite classic Appaloosa look. Slick's due date is June 4, 2011.
Chinooks Snow Princess and Howling Wind GHR should produce a foal with very smooth gaits and great bone. Both horses have gentle personalities, and we're hoping that the best of each horse comes through in the foal. If our hopes are realized, this foundation Appaloosa foal will be dynamite! Snow's due date is June 4, 2011.
LVR Shady Lady and Howling Wind GHR will bring together just through their parents and grandparents four highly respected programs that no longer exist for a uniquely bred foal: Pratt and Ulrich breeding from Shady and Don LaLonde and Garvin Heights breeding from Howl. Wow! Fingers are crossed for a patterned foal, but a noncharacteristic foal would be just as athletic and sweet natured - it will be foundation Appaloosa after all! Shady's due date is June 15, 2011.
