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!

Do you ever see that one girl and you just have to have her? For me - that was Ginger. I kept looking and looking at this pretty female and finally had to snatch her up! She is related to a bunch of breeding potential I already had here but there was just something about her. Elite gray genetics hidden in an elite fleece! A super solid frame with solid bone. And lots and lots of staple on this girl. Sweet personality and super mellow - like a zen garden But is she grey? Despite it not being super obvious - she has all the color traits of a tuxedo and we think that is the direction to take Ginger. Her show career color checked her in everything from beige to light fawn to lights. Very competitive classes. Ginger is a full sister to AMERICAN CHROME, a beautiful silver gray owned by Alpacas of NH. Sired by Neversummers' American Iron, an Aussie .38 Special son, out of STONYRIDGE BELLATRIX, an absolutely gorgeous true black female in her own right. Ginger was shorn for the second time here at Willow Wind and she has that strong character in her fleece that is the legacy of 38 Special. It was just falling off her in waves. Really lovely! Beautiful bundles. Tight crimp. Beautiful Brightness. Her fleece character made a huge jump in improvement from year 1 to year 2 (And it was splendid in year 1!) so we are very pleased with her development. Im very glad to have her. Ginger Snap has been bred to AVATAR! for a 2018 cria and we are anxiously waiting. What a stellar combination. And a proven one. Ginger's cria is a girl! And she looks to be a solid rose grey. Her fleece is OH SO SOFT and loooooong staple. Bright and incredible character (Go AVATAR!). Little Molly is heading to her first show; GWAS 2019. Ginger is bred to deliver a cria in August of 2019. A wild card breeding done to a wildly spooted harlequin male, Apache Gentleman owned by Marylin Esteb and Rare Gem Alpacas. A surprise is in order! And she had Willow Wind Will Cooter - Gorgeous harley male! Willy is set and ready to begin some breeding in 2024. Gorgeous guy. Ginger gave birth to a very typey harlequinn male in August of 2019. This little guy, Will Cooter (Willy), has bundles of crimpy fiber. Quintessential cutie pie. Willy has turned completely slate grey by his 5th month and the fiber is just like Mommas - loooooong staple, well defined crimp and epic coverage. I had a feeling Ginger would throw a gorgeous harlequinn when bred to harlequinn - and SHE DID!!! Ginger is bred to Man of Mystery for a 2023 cria. CANNOT WAIT! And again - she did not disappoint. No spots on the little (Big) man but he shines like a beacon. Brightness galore on a solid frame. Ginger is bred to Lakota (I KNOW!!!) for 2024. :) Fleece Stats 2016: AFD: 20.7 SD: 4.1 CV: 19.8 >30: 2.2
