Exciting news! Ricochet's pinto male cria from fall '05 (FMR Samurai) won Color Campion in Denver's Great Western in May '06 and also just took 2nd at AOBA's National Show in Louisville 2 weeks later. We also just had another Ricochet cria, a super high luster (of course!) MF female out of a LF dam. Ricochet is a Full Peruvian grandson of Inca Hoots. White with Med. Brown around his eyes and dark pigment in his nose and nails. He has some of the best lock and luster you'll see...and staple length, wow! Shorn at 18 months he had locks over 14" and at a show 3 months later planning to show for confirmation in the shorn class, he had grown too much and had to show full fleece! Shorn the second time 11 months later he had 9" locks. He settled his first females Sept. '03. The first picture is taken out in the pasture, no prep...look at the luster! His cria are exceptional! He puts a good suri head, great coverage (chin to toes), intense lock and very high luster on his cria! Note: Ricochet continues to impress us as a herdsire. We had 2 drop-dead gorgeous cria out of Ricochet in fall ('05). One is all white (Symphony's Concerto) and the other white/medium fawn pattern (Samurai) (both dams are white)...both have exceptional lock, luster and coverage; and both took 1st place at their debut show! Check out the AN site for Rancho Milagro and take a look at Peruvian Ric Roc, a Full Peruvian Ricochet cria! As Ricochet's cria continue to impress us (and the judges) we have increased his breeding fee in accordance with the quality he is producing compared to other herdsires and their fees.

We had the opportunity to see "Dazzy" in the pasture one windy day. WOW, the wind picked up her fiber and the locks to the skin were very evident as well as the very high luster. I held off buying her as we had a very nice LF at home (Misty Rain). The only time Misty was beaten in the ring, was by Dazzy! Well, that put us over the line and we made a deal for her just prior to the National show in Salt Lake City. She finished 5th is a large group there...however she should have done better. The judge put lock over luster, Dazzy was much better than the 3rd place animal and I feel that would have been a fair placing among the animals in the ring...oh well...we know what we have! Bred to USA Ringo for an October '06 cria...we can hardly wait! Note: Dazzy had a phenominal MF female cria in '06. She had an unbelievable LF male in '07...certainly herdsire and champion quality...look for Ricochet's Jackpot in the showring in '08.
