Excelsior's Independent Dillon

OK, this is not hype. Want THE BEST appaloosa male in the nation -- period -- with a merino style fleece and sired by the late, great Accoyo Pachacuti???? Paulo, simply put, is the most perfectly patterned appaloosa male one is ever likely to see! He has fawn, brown and medium silver gray spots in such a uniform pattern that you will wonder who painted him! Part his fleece and you will see a fleece that makes elite fleece breeders drool. At age two, his neck and blanket fiber weighed in at around ten pounds. And a really funny thing happened on our boys' 2006 shearing day -- we found out that Paulo is now a SOLID LIGHT SILVER GRAY base-coated appie!! If he were a suri, I would not let him leave this farm...! In fact, gray huacaya producers ought to be beating a path to buy Paulo, because he more likely to produce gray than most of the rest of the gray males out there. Paulo is sired by the incomparable Accoyo Pachacuti, one of my favorite Accoyo males that I am proud to have owned. Half-Accoyo Paulo took a blue ribbon on his very first trip off our farm, with ease. Conformation is superb, and he has the bite his dad is famous for -- the kind that usually requires no maintenance whatsoever. There is no doubt he is a one-in-a-million breeding, as his dam is a brown female with a white face. We have since discovered, however, that his granddam has produced other females who have gone on to produce very nice appaloosas, so this line is potently fancy, if you will! This boy could have a special place in either a fancy or even a gray breeding program, with all he has to offer.
