Taupie is a striking appaloosa harlequin male that is on a roll for throwing spotted and harlequin offspring. He has sired 53 offspring and 74% are either appaloosa or harlequin! While dam selection has a significant influence on such outcomes, it should be noted that the majority of the dams Taupie has been bred to have no genetic influence on this outcome. So for those that don't have existing foundation girls with appy/harlequin lineage -- Taupie has proven to be capable of passing along his appy genetics and produce desired results. So how does this happen? Only part of that story is known, but what we DO know is that certain lines of known appy gene carriers are much more "expressive" than others. Taupie just happens to be one of those. His heritage boasts appaloosa genetics on both sides of his lineage with Aussie Rockford out of Hannahruh on his sire's side and Chiquita Import on his dam's side. In April 2016, Taupie's progeny debuted in the show ring taking a blue in walking fleece and the blue in halter at the California Classic. This was Enchanted Hill LuTau, who is a beautiful stud himself! This first boy was then followed by another appaloosa female and then another appy male-- both very similar to the first. The fourth cria, however, is something extra special! This little girl has expressed every color on the chart, not one pattern-- just speckles and spots from nose to toes-- Rare Gem U-Taupe-ia's Appletini! The unique coloring of this cria looks as though the color from Taupie's Grand Dam, Chiquita Import, is coming through and producing the rarest of rare gems-- her beautiful color seems to morph before your eyes! As much fun as it is to talk about Taupie's progeny... more about him! Taupie has a spotted face, spotted belly, spotted legs, and a beautiful solid platinum-taupe blanket. His top line is a nice medium silver grey, then blending into light silver grey down the sides. Other crias include: Appsolutely Adorable DVAF Fancy Pants Maverick Plumb Creek's Honey Dijon Rose Rare Gem in the SPOT Light Rare Gem Lady London Rare Gem Medicine Man Take a look at all of them!

CONGRATULATIONS to Caryl and Sam on their purchase of Bisturi's Periwinkle. She has been a premier foundation breeder here at Plateau Breeze Ranch and has given us some gorgeous appaloosa/harlequins. She will stay close to us here in California but will be missed. ************************************************************************************************************************** Another coveted daughter of an incredible black female, Hvla Poppy, Bisturi's Periwinkle has a beautiful Dark rose grey fleece and Vicuna pattern and a unique phenotype. Her fiber has an excellent crimp. She is a great foundation dam and a stellar breeder. She never has a problem getting pregnant, holding her pregnancies, delivers large 20lb plus babies, has tons of milk and is the most attentive of moms. Periwinkle threw a harlequin/appaloosa in 2018, Rare Gem Heart Kandi (check out her page) when bred to harlequin/appaloosa herdsire, Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia. The following year she impressively threw another wildly-spotted, rare and classic appaloosa/harlequin (PBR Gentlemen's Fascination (see her page!) out of Apache Gentlemen. Then once again, in 2020, we paired her up with Apache Gentlemen, and she threw another gorgeous harlequin/appaloosa, PBR Apache's Spark's Fly. That's 3 for 3 when bred for appaloosa/harlequin. Her sire is Bisturi, one of the most consistent producers of grey and black offspring and is considered a legendary herdsire. Bisturi moved to Austria in 2013 and, at 12 years old, has a fabulous, uniformly grey-coloured fleece. He has an impressive pedigree. Of over 100 offspring, 55 greys and 25 black animals are on the ground. Bisturi is a fabulous stallion with numerous victories on which he has proven his uniqueness.

To say I was surprised when I observed PBR Divine Embraced by the Light's head emerge into life with a white beard and stripping on his ankle would be an understatement. He certainly lives up to his name! He is the handsome son of R Creek's Divine World, offspring of Snowmass Divine Love and, boy, does Brace remind me of him. Furthermore, Brace has genetics from his sire's side with many well-known names such as Legacy, Augusto, Bueno, Hemingway and Caligula. Not only that, but he comes by his colorful pedigree from his dam's side of her family tree. Cacao Chanel of PBR's beautiful sire was harlequin/appaloosa producer Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia. PBR Divine Embraced by the Light has it all....pedigree, color, fine and dense fleece! What a pleasure to see him expressing those appaloosa traits! As he grows, he impresses me with his macho-looking stance much like his grandsire, Snowmass Divine Love, and fine, crimpy dark fleece. Cacao Chanel of PBR, PBR Divine Embraced by the Light's dam, was a lovely chocolate brown, and her personality was sweet. She inherited that beautiful color from her g-sire Skywalker by Poseidon of FDA. Her perfectly formed ears have bay black tips, which led us to believe that she could throw color, which is what she threw! Her breeding to R Creek's Divine World produced a rare appaloosa with fine fleece, PBR Divine Embraced by the Light. She exhibited an excellent phenotype and a beautiful fleece with lots of crimp, a soft hand and first place at the 2018 California Classic, not surprising with g-sires Rembrandt El Nino and Aussie Rockford. Like his sire Snowmass Divine Love, R Creek's Divine World is a proven, champion-producing macho who adds outstanding crimp characteristics, magnificent bone structure, extraordinary phenotype and great fleece length to his incredible offspring. He displays ELITE fleece characteristics with exquisite bundling, a superior head, and fleece with advanced crimp and magnificent density. He is the unique blending of the Hemingway and Bueno lines. With perfect conformation and coverage from head to toe on a large solid frame, robust frame, R Creek's Divine World is a phenotypically excellent herdsire.
