She's spunky and she's fun to have around. Chicha produced her 3rd cria this summer with a beautiful appaloosa female out of Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX. This cria will eventually be for sale because we don't breed for appaloosa and we don't have the ideal appaloosa male to breed with but I have to admit that it's interesting and fun to see. Photos of Chicha's cria will be updated periodically.
Chicha has a multitude of colours in her blanket and spun together makes a very interesting colour.

When Snowmass Divine Love was born into this world he brought something special with him. A lavender coloured fleece.
The history of Snowmass Divine Love is interesting. He was brought to compete in the 2013 Futurity. The owners had the challenge of not knowing what class he was going to be placed as he had this unusual color and the AOBA show system didn't have a color on their chart to classify him. It was decided to put Divine Love in the Bred and Owned class where he ended up taking Champion and from there he moved on to compete in the final line with all the other colours.
The final result ended with a Judge's Choice Award!
It was exciting for the Snowmass owners to see the ast... |
