Stone Pine Olivia is a striking blend of rare genetics, proven production power, and sweet disposition—often greeting visitors with her signature nose kisses. She is the stunning result of pairing the homozygous harlequin powerhouse Vintage Cashmere’s U-Taupe-ia with Buck Brook Morning Glory, a cross that has truly delivered the complete package: fiber, phenotype, and personality. Her sire, “Taupie,” has produced over 50 offspring, with more than 70% exhibiting Appaloosa or Harlequin grey coloration—many of them champions, including champion grand-offspring. His influence is consistently seen in conformation, fleece structure, and expression of rare patterns. For Olivia’s maiden breeding, she was paired with another prepotent homozygous Harlequin male, Apache Gentleman. Apache is the sire of over 30 registered offspring, the majority being Appaloosa or Harlequin. His progeny have had a strong presence in the multi-color show rings, including 3X champion Apache Gentleman’s Alchesay, and Apache himself boasts Get of Sire wins (1st and 2nd place) for his Appy and Harlequin offspring. 2022 Cria – “Be Brave” On August 11, 2022, Olivia delivered her first cria—a handsome Harlequin Appaloosa male—with ease and grace. She proved to be highly maternal with excellent milk production. Her son, Be Brave, is a spunky, well-built male with bundles of crimpy curls from day one. Given his pedigree, he’s likely homozygous for the Appaloosa-Harlequin allele, and carries a dense concentration of color genetics. 2024 Cria – “Sizlin’s On Fya” Olivia followed up her strong debut with yet another exciting outcome. On New Year’s Day 2024, she gave birth to a female Appaloosa cria after a 339-day gestation. This time, the sire was Snowmass Sizlin Legacy XX, a 3X multi champion male known for his elite fleece and uniquely colored spot pattern. The resulting offspring, Fya, is already demonstrating excellent fleece characteristics and confirmation. While her Appaloosa spotting is minimal, she carries the genetic signature that Olivia reliably passes on—making this young female another exciting prospect for future Harlequin and Appaloosa breeding. Coming Soon – 2025 Cria by Rare Gem X-Man Olivia’s next cria will be arriving shortly—and we can hardly wait! This one is sired by none other than our celebrated Appaloosa herdsire, Rare Gem X-Man. Before heading off to the East Coast last year for the Parade of Champions auction, X-Man had one last duty here at Rare Gem Alpacas—breeding three very special girls. Olivia was one of them. Now living his best life in Connecticut, X-Man has left behind a bit of his magic, and we’re eagerly anticipating the arrival of this 2025 offspring. With both Olivia’s proven production record and X-Man’s legendary influence, this cria is expected to be something truly special. Stay tuned—we’re expecting spots!
