Lakota is out of TWO appaloosa parents. Is he homozygous? We think so. His first kids hit the ground in 2020 and all were spotted. We bred a number of females to him for the 2021 season along with some outside breedings and he delivered every single darn time. We love Lakota for his sturdy frame, very solid fleece character (fineness, density and character) and sweet temperament. He has a nice array of spots to share and so far he has shared them well. Did I mention his fleece quality? Its noteworthy. And he passes it along. We have some amazing kids to preview and photos will be posted shortly. We are offering a limited number of breedings through 2024( 5 to be exact). So if you want to jump on a relatively guaranteed outcome with an amazing guy - please contact us! 9 year histo update: 23.5/4.7 :)

Do you ever see that one girl and you just have to have her? For me - that was Ginger. I kept looking and looking at this pretty female and finally had to snatch her up! She is related to a bunch of breeding potential I already had here but there was just something about her. Elite gray genetics hidden in an elite fleece! A super solid frame with solid bone. And lots and lots of staple on this girl. Sweet personality and super mellow - like a zen garden But is she grey? Despite it not being super obvious - she has all the color traits of a tuxedo and we think that is the direction to take Ginger. Her show career color checked her in everything from beige to light fawn to lights. Very competitive classes. Ginger is a full sister to AMERICAN CHROME, a beautiful silver gray owned by Alpacas of NH. Sired by Neversummers' American Iron, an Aussie .38 Special son, out of STONYRIDGE BELLATRIX, an absolutely gorgeous true black female in her own right. Ginger was shorn for the second time here at Willow Wind and she has that strong character in her fleece that is the legacy of 38 Special. It was just falling off her in waves. Really lovely! Beautiful bundles. Tight crimp. Beautiful Brightness. Her fleece character made a huge jump in improvement from year 1 to year 2 (And it was splendid in year 1!) so we are very pleased with her development. Im very glad to have her. Ginger Snap has been bred to AVATAR! for a 2018 cria and we are anxiously waiting. What a stellar combination. And a proven one. Ginger's cria is a girl! And she looks to be a solid rose grey. Her fleece is OH SO SOFT and loooooong staple. Bright and incredible character (Go AVATAR!). Little Molly is heading to her first show; GWAS 2019. Ginger is bred to deliver a cria in August of 2019. A wild card breeding done to a wildly spooted harlequin male, Apache Gentleman owned by Marylin Esteb and Rare Gem Alpacas. A surprise is in order! And she had Willow Wind Will Cooter - Gorgeous harley male! Willy is set and ready to begin some breeding in 2024. Gorgeous guy. Ginger gave birth to a very typey harlequinn male in August of 2019. This little guy, Will Cooter (Willy), has bundles of crimpy fiber. Quintessential cutie pie. Willy has turned completely slate grey by his 5th month and the fiber is just like Mommas - loooooong staple, well defined crimp and epic coverage. I had a feeling Ginger would throw a gorgeous harlequinn when bred to harlequinn - and SHE DID!!! Ginger is bred to Man of Mystery for a 2023 cria. CANNOT WAIT! And again - she did not disappoint. No spots on the little (Big) man but he shines like a beacon. Brightness galore on a solid frame. Ginger is bred to Lakota (I KNOW!!!) for 2024. :) Fleece Stats 2016: AFD: 20.7 SD: 4.1 CV: 19.8 >30: 2.2
