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.

Dam with a Heart of Gold and a Pedigree to Match Stone Pine Iris is a sweet, solidly built female out of the stunning Appaloosa producer Enchanted Hill Apple Dumpling. While Iris presents as white with just a single small fawn spot — a subtle nod to her colorful lineage — her pedigree is packed with Appaloosa genetics. Her color genotype Ee Aa1 confirms her strong potential to pass along an exciting variety of colors and patterns. Her fleece boasts a long staple length and a high-frequency crimp style, making it both visually striking and a dream to work with. Beyond her physical qualities, Iris stands out as one of the most dedicated dams we’ve ever had here — exceptionally maternal, attentive, and consistent, with abundant milk supply. Iris birthed her first cria unassisted at 341 days, delivering a 16.4-lb dark fawn female sired by our true black stud, Rare Gem Sea Señor (EE a1a2), of non-Appaloosa heritage. This pairing highlights Iris’s versatility as a breeding female and her ability to complement both solid-color and pattern-focused breeding programs. Proven Resilience & Maternal Strength During her most recent pregnancy, Iris experienced an illness mid-gestation and was treated proactively under veterinary guidance. She responded well, made a full recovery, and went on to carry her pregnancy far beyond the typical gestation window — ultimately delivering, unassisted, a strong, healthy 17.6-lb female cria after an extraordinary 377-day gestation. Her ability to recover fully, maintain the pregnancy, and deliver a healthy, well-developed cria speaks volumes about her metabolic strength and maternal capacity. Iris is currently healthy, thriving, and sound — an honest example of real-world durability in a breeding female. Recent Offspring — Rare Gem Morning Bloom. Sired by Rare Gem Mirakel (Appaloosa) Iris’s 2025 cria, Rare Gem Morning Bloom, is a beautiful female with subtle, nearly pink spotting and exceptionally bright fleece. While softly expressed, Morning Bloom carries Appaloosa genetics on both the top and bottom and represents valuable foundation potential for a pattern-focused breeding program.

Description

Meet Rare Gem Morning Bloom, a beautiful female cria whose arrival was as quiet as it was meaningful. Born early one morning after an extraordinary 377-day gestation, Morning Bloom arrived healthy and strong — a result that would later prove to be anything but ordinary. While not as boldly expressed as some of her paternal siblings, Morning Bloom carries soft, nearly pink spotting throughout her blanket, so subtle it can be difficult to see at first glance. These whisper-light markings give her an ethereal, blushed appearance — a gentle expression of her Appaloosa heritage rather than a loud one. What she does share unmistakably with her sire’s offspring is an exceptionally bright fleece, already eye-catching at this young age. Her fiber shows emerging, well-defined crimp bundles, paired with straight legs, a balanced frame, and a pleasing head style — hallmarks of the consistency Mirakel is stamping across his progeny. Importantly, lack of loud pattern expression should not cause this female to be overlooked. Morning Bloom’s pedigree is packed with Appaloosa genetics on both the top and bottom, making her a valuable foundation female for a pattern-focused breeding program. Her genetic depth offers significant opportunity for future expression when paired thoughtfully.
