Offspring: 2020 Snowmass Luminous Hope, Female, Medium Fawn, 2020 Parade of Champions - Lot 3 - Best of Snowmass Females, Exported to Switzerland 2023 Rare Gem Enchanted Girly Girl, Female, Medium Brown (6X banner winner 2024) 2025 Rare Gem Glazed and Amused, Male, Fawn, Sired by Appaloosa herdsire, Rare Gem Dunkin’ residing at FATF.

It is with great excitement that we announce the addition of this handsome young appaloosa male to the Rare Gem herd. We have followed MIrakel's dam for years as she is the closest appaloosa descendant to LF Del a Burl, the handsome appaloosa male that was exported to Germany. With his departure, these genetics were limited to just two females in the United States-- one of which is MaRs Dixie-- MIrakel's dam. Dixie is the only appaloosa descendant of daughter from LF del A Burl. In Germany, Burl went on to produce 50+ cria, the majority of which are appaloosa and/or patterned. Mirakel's grand-dam, Sugar Shoo, was a full Peruvian and a granddaughter of Auzengate, a Peruvian male, noted for throwing appaloosa cria. Mirakel's maternal side carries the Victor line and is stacked with champions, including Eastwind's Snowstorm. Dixie's owners had the foresight to breed her to an elite-fleeced male-- Aspen Alpacas Highpoint out of the Silver Rose Overture / Augusto's Cochiti line. Highpoint has stamped this offspring, Mirakel, with his beautiful phenotype including a lovely head, full coverage from nose to toes, perfect portions and an evolved, fine colorFULL appaloosa fleece! His previous owners have said "Here's betting that he gives his maternal brother, Wahoo from MaRS, a run for his money!" Those are some big "hooves" to fill, but time will tell. We invite appaloosa and harlequin breeders to keep an eye on this young male, Mirakel. We have great things planned for him! Special thanks to Alpacas from MaRS and Las Flores del Altiplano Alpacas for producing this fine male and letting him join the Rare Gem herd. With gratitude... UPDATE: Mirakel's show career is off to a great start. His most recent award is from the 2023 PNAA IFA. He took first in his class and "Most Uniform in Grade" Award - Grade 0.
