Mirakel is now a proven herdsire, and his first three crias have exceeded every expectation. All three are patterned—two Reverse Appaloosas and one Leopard Appaloosa—each displaying strong frames, typey head styles, straight legs, and exceptional newborn fleece. His debut results place him as a highly promising male in our rare-color and Appaloosa program. Mirakel carries elite fleece qualities, correct structure, balance, and a pleasing head style. His show career includes multiple top placements, highlighted by his outstanding win as: 2023 PNAA “Most Uniform in Grade – Grade 0” An impressive achievement for an Appaloosa competing against solid-colored animals at the finest grade level. 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. What He Is Producing ** Mirakel’s first crias include: Rare Gem Dappled Daphne – Reverse Appaloosa (Dam: H2R Myrtle) Warm fawn base with soft white spotting, feminine presence, and a correct frame. **Rare Gem Mirakel’s Halo – Leopard Appaloosa (Dam: Raya Sunshine) Bright, expressive color, beautifully organized fleece, and crisp dark spotting. **Rare Gem Enchanted Manly Man – Reverse Appaloosa (Dam: Girly Girl) Sharply defined white spotting on a medium/light brown base, excellent density, and confident, balanced style. Consistency & Strengths ** Rare Gem Morning Bloom - White with pale spotting throughout blanket (Dam: Iris) Exceptional brightness, soft nearly-pink spotting, and beautifully organized fleece. Across all three crias, Mirakel is stamping: • typey heads and short muzzles • straight legs and balanced proportions • bright, well-bundled fleece • confidence and sweet temperament • expressive color—even from non-Appaloosa dams Program Contribution Mirakel is proving to be a sire who adds style, presence, quality, and rare color. With three outstanding patterned crias from three different females, he is off to a powerful start. We look forward to continuing his role in advancing our Appaloosa and rare-color breeding program.

Girly Girl is now a proven dam, and her first cria has confirmed her value as both a show female and a production female. On November 29, 2025, she delivered a beautifully expressive Reverse Appaloosa male—Rare Gem Enchanted Manly Man—entirely unassisted. From the moment he stood, she has been a calm, attentive, and confident mother, requiring no intervention. Girly Girl completed the 2024 show season with six championship banners and 12 blue ribbons. Judges consistently praised her elite brown fleece, fineness, uniformity, and character. Judge Stephanie Glyptis noted that Girly Girl may have had the finest brown fleece she had ever judged—a remarkable compliment that reflects her quality. Heritage From her sire, Snowmass Enchanted Wave, Girly Girl inherits fineness, brightness, and uniformity. From her dam, Snowmass Promise of Hope, she carries correctness, balance, and an even temperament. Her fleece statistics—AFD 15.9 and SD 3.3—support her elite status. Proven Appaloosa Producer Despite not carrying the Appaloosa gene, Girly Girl produced a striking Reverse Appaloosa cria when paired with Mirakel. Manly Man shows outstanding density, correct structure, a typey head, and balanced proportions—an excellent reflection of both parents. Her genotype (EeAa1) contributes depth and warmth to his base color. Temperament & Maternal Traits Girly Girl is gentle, steady, and easy to work around—qualities she now passes to her cria. She stepped into motherhood naturally and confidently. Program Contribution With elite fleece, strong conformation, a remarkable temperament, and now proven production, Girly Girl has secured her place as a foundation female. When timing allows, she will be responsibly re-bred to Mirakel for a repeat of this outstanding pairing.
