Lakota is out of TWO appaloosa parents. Is he homozygous? We think so. His first kids hit the ground in 2020 and all were spotted. We bred a number of females to him for the 2021 season along with some outside breedings and he delivered every single darn time. We love Lakota for his sturdy frame, very solid fleece character (fineness, density and character) and sweet temperament. He has a nice array of spots to share and so far he has shared them well. Did I mention his fleece quality? Its noteworthy. And he passes it along. We have some amazing kids to preview and photos will be posted shortly. We are offering a limited number of breedings through 2024( 5 to be exact). So if you want to jump on a relatively guaranteed outcome with an amazing guy - please contact us! 9 year histo update: 23.5/4.7 :)

Spellbound. Dam to Skyfall. A judges choice fleece winner. TWICE. Dam to Willowwind Golden Mystic. Dad was Xanadu's Alchemist. Gorgeous. We sold her to our friends in Texas and she is going to have a fabulous Man of Mystery Baby. Dam to Pied Marquis. Dad was Lakota. Marquis might be the best representation of an appaloosa that has been produced here yet. That guy is one to watch. Absolutely elite fleece. Gorgeous display of spots. And.... we sold him to our dear friends up at Mule Train and we cant wait to see what he produces. Spellbound is bred to Man of Mystery for a 2023 cria. And as usual... we cant wait! Who could? This girl is a foundation girl's foundation girl. She is staying.
