Talk about perfectly spotted! Marquis is a solidly built 3rd generation Appaloosa, displaying exceptional fleece characteristics, just like his sire, WWLH Lakota. And…so far, Lakota seems to be as close to homozygous as it gets! Marquis’ dam is nothing to scoff at either. Spellbound is a two-time judges choice fleece winner, passing on these qualities to her offspring. She is also the dam to the one and only SpringToo Skyfall! Marquis has a perfectly distributed array of spots to share! He has confirmed pregnancies for 2025 crias. Color Genotype is EeAa2

UPDATE: Exposed to Appaloosa herdsire, Willowwind' Pied A.K.A Mr. Spotalicious on 12/2/24. Mr. Spotalicous is visiting from Mule Train Alpacas in Montana and he is being breed to a very special handful of girls. This pairing can produce harlequin and appaloosa offspring. No matter the color / pattern the offspring is bound to be something special as both parents have stunning phenotypes and exceptional fleece. Snowmass Divine Exclipse is a beautiful Divine Love daughter with 4 outstanding offspring. We are in love with this girl but also with her 2023 X-Man son, Divine X. We have both listed for sale, but will only sell one. You get to make that decision for us.:-) As a smallish farm, we need to keep our genetics diverse. We tend to only keep a breeding male OR his dam. Divine X is handsome male and settled his first female at just 17 months. 2017 Snowmass Aledos Velvet Bay Black Female 2018 Snowmass Aledos Magical Eclipse MBrown Female 2021 Aledo’s Benilli “Bunny” LFawn Female 2023 Rare Gem Divine X LFawn Male

Description

Meet Rare Gem Painted Divinity, affectionately called Candy — and oh, is she ever sweet! This big-boned, classic Appaloosa female is everything we had hoped for and more. Her sire, WillowWind' Pied Marquis AKA Mr, SPOTalicious, brings in fresh, diverse genetics to the Rare Gem herd — strength, substance, and that unmistakable Appaloosa charm. Her dam, Snowmass Divine Eclipse, carries the elite fleece genetics of Snowmass Divine Love, known for brightness, fineness, and consistency. Candy is the perfect blend of both worlds — the divine and the daring. From her sturdy frame to her beautifully painted fleece, she embodies the heart of the Rare Gem program: unique, artistic, and unforgettable. Heritage & Strengths Dam Line — “The Divine” From Snowmass Divine Eclipse, Candy inherits an elegant foundation of fineness, uniformity, and a bright white fleece that serves as the perfect canvas for her Appaloosa pattern. The Divine Love line has long been celebrated for its soft handle, elite uniformity, and heavenly brightness — traits we value deeply in our breeding goals. Sire Line — “The Marquis” Her sire, WillowWind Pied Marquis, contributes depth of frame, coverage, and that bold Appaloosa expression we love. His strength and balance complement Eclipse’s refinement beautifully, producing a female that’s both robust and graceful. Pattern & Fleece Notes Candy wears her heritage like art. Her fleece is decorated with large, bold spots showing the rich depth of color we love to see. The contrast of her markings against her light base makes her a true pasture standout. Her fleece is bright, crimpy, and soft — a promising indicator of what’s to come as she matures. What She Brings to the Rare Gem Lineup Every member of the Rare Gem herd holds a special place, and Candy is no exception. She brings with her a powerful blend of genetics, balance, and color expression that enriches our ongoing program evolution. Her strong frame, elite fleece lineage, and beautifully painted pattern represent the harmony we seek in every generation — a fusion of strength, fineness, and artistry. Candy’s presence in the lineup continues the Rare Gem tradition of celebrating the extraordinary beauty found in alpacas that stand out for both their quality and individuality. With Gratitude A heartfelt thank-you to Angi and Ludo of Mule Train Alpacas for the opportunity to use their exceptional herdsire, Marquis. Their collaboration made this special pairing possible. What's in a Name? Her registered name, Painted Divinity, tells her story perfectly — Painted for her expressive Appaloosa pattern, as if brushed onto a living canvas, and Divinity as a nod to her dam’s Snowmass Divine Love heritage. The name also carries a wink to the old-fashioned candy — light, airy, and delightful — which inspired her barn name, Candy. Just like her namesake treat, this (not so little) girl is irresistible!
