UPDATE: First cria is here!! Wow, what can we say about this guy? He can be summed up this way...AOBA and International judge Mike Safley opened Ryder's fleece at the GMAF and said, "Ah, I like that!" AOBA and International judge Jude Anderson said, "He's magnificent!" We think so, too! From the moment he was born we knew that Ryder was special. His extreme density was evident even in his newborn cria fleece. What we quickly realized was that this fleece was not only dense, it was fine and locky, too. Who said you can't see an elite fleece on a cria? Ryder carries himself confidently on a balanced, "typey" frame. Overall excellence in conformation is completed by straight legs, great bone, a nice topline, and an excellent bite. His fiber shows the exceptional qualities we saw in his cria fleece! Complete coverage with excellent fleece architecture covers him from topknot to tail, from topline to toes. The final proof will be in his progeny.

Celeste is our hidden gem! This Accoyo/Alianza cross female has excellent conformation and bite. Her exceptional fiber is dense, lustrous, crimpy, locky and consistent. She is a wonderful mother who never disappoints us. Her first cria, Avalon's Peruvian Aries, has high luster, dense, crimpy, and locky fleece. He was selected as Reserve Huacaya Color Champion and helped to win Get of Sire for his Sire, AFA Royal Peruvian Aristocrat, at the 2002 Spring Fling in Wisconsin! Aries went on to become Color Champion at the 2002 OABA show and then the #1 White 2 year and over male at the 2003 National Conference AOBA show! Her second cria, Avalon's Peruvian Polaris is also a handsome Aristocrat son, with lustrous white fiber, dark eyes, and dark foot pads. Like his brother before him, Polaris is a multiple blue ribbon winner and color champion. Polaris is now a herdsire for Sleeping Monk Farm in New Hampshire. In 2003 the legacy continued. Celeste gave birth to her third outstanding Aristocrat son, Avalon's Peruvian Tri-Star. Like his brothers before him, Tri-Star exhibits an "elite fleece" with exceptional brightness and a dense, locky character. Tri-Star remains here on our herdsire row. In spite of the success of the Celeste/Aristocrat match, beginning in 2004 we elected to take Celeste to some other outstanding males including Winchester, Lancaster, Accoyo Express, and our own Impresario (Rio). While the results have been a succession of beautiful crias, we are still looking for that Celeste/Aristocrat little girl to take her dam's place in our program. So, this year we have decided to try again. Stay tuned!
