Lilly is a a harlequin rose grey Hannaruh granddaughter. Lilly was an appaloosa in her younger days and is now considered a Modern MRG by show rules (a harlequin grey by colloquial description).
Before she came to our farm Lilly produced an appaloosa cria, Imitation, that went on to win in shows. She was bred to a CMSG male and produced a MDSG female in 2015, so she shows she can produce grey! Imitation has been been bred to our appaloosa herdsire Jacob twice to produce appy girls both time; when bred to a solid male, Imitation produced a solid cria.
We bred Lilly to a CMRG grey for her 2017 cria, and produced a.... white male. Hmm. Not what we hoped for but maybe more of what we should have. Rather than being a classically colored grey, her coloration lends itself to harlequin, pattern or solid. This male has a proud stance, good conformation, good density and crimp with potential.
Her previous farm's comments:
Lilly is a gorgeous appaloosa female with the ribbons to prove it!
She stands tall and straight and beautiful. She has perfect conformation and a correct bite.
Her fleece has very high frequency crimp with density, fineness and luster to die for. She has a very easy going personality and is easy to handle. She always gets pregnant on the first time and births easily. And so far the ratio has been great too - two beautiful female crias in a row. Lilly is an attentive mother who produced a lovely dark colored female cria, out of Xanadu's Brutus' Firecracker. "Disco" has amazing fleece and is standing tall and beautiful just like mom. We had to repeat this breeding again because this little girl is winning in the ring and this years white female, Lena, is sure to do the same! This year [sic; past year] she was bred to Tapestry's Kahuna and produced a handsome dense as can be light fawn male "Sonny".
