When I first thought about breeding Appaloosa’s, all I wanted to produce was coloured foals with quiet temperaments. When the stallion Silver Invader first came on the market, I talked with the owners about purchase, but it would appear the purchase was not meant to be at that time, so I went ahead and got another quiet stallion who was sired by the well known and highly regarded Princes Mighty Twist (quiet bloodline), to use in the hope that one day Silver Invader may become available in the future. I already had some very quiet mares from good Appaloosa breeding, but it was finding the right stallion that could do the job, putting colour on his foals and producing quiet minds.
Well eventually Silver Invader did become available again and I was lucky enough to become his owner. He was known to everyone as “Midnight” in the paddock, and he was nicely put together, threw colour 100% of the time and was a very quiet, calm stallion. The colour was a plus, because he was a Buckskin fewspot. I didn’t work that out until further down the track though. He was out of a loud buckskin leopard mare imported from Australia, who was by the well known Plaudit Twister, a loud smokey black leopard imported from the USA to Australia, who was very highly regarded and sought after.
Midnights sire was Casper McCue, whom I haven’t been able to find out much out about, but Casper McCue’s sire was Princes Mighty Twist, so there was that favoured bloodline known for calm temperaments. I was very pleased at getting Midnight and over the years he has sired many quiet loud coloured foals for the person, who loves their horses to stay underneath them and be very relaxed. His progeny have also proven to be very versatile being competed, in dressage, show jumping, eventing, jousting, trail riding, reining and pleasure. Silver Invader progeny will never be top Western horses, but that was never the aim. My aim was to produce a good all round horse, that anyone could ride and feel safe on, and I think I nailed it.
Silver Invader passed away in 2015, and I’ve gone on with his son Midnights Silver Saphire, who is known as Alfie in the paddock. Alfie is now siring versatile quiet-minded foals. Alfie is a Palomino fewspot.
This year (2018) I have introduced some new blood into the Stud and hopefully another colour gene. After observing colour over the years I could see the Dun horses expressed their colour more consistently than the “Cream” gene horses (Smokey Black, Buckskin & Palomino). Cream either expresses as almost white through to a rich golden colour. Sadly the paler versions are more common. I have a couple of mares, that have been bred to a Grullo (Black-Dun) QH stallion, I purchased a Dun (Bay-Dun) Appaloosa mare, who is the daughter
of the Dun Appaloosa stallion Mighty Invincible (imported from Australia). I guess the 3rd reason I’ve introduced the blood of some fine Western horses, is because I personally like competing in reining, and I am hoping (crossing fingers & toes) I get some nice loud colour, very quiet Western horses for people to compete on, including myself. From spring this year it’ll be an interesting time for the Stud.
The Quarter Horse stallions I have used so far, that deserve a mention are “Justa Lil Promisq S” (grullo); “Shining n Stylish” (Bay)(top performer); “This Kids all Style” (buckskin QH) also 2005 World Champion stallion.
Of course the mares need a mention. This year we’ve introduced a fair bit of new blood. We bought an unregistered Dun daughter of Mighty Invincible (Dun), called Pye to breed to my Palomino Fewspot stallion (Alfie) in the hope of a Dunalino foal or any nice colour. I have the stunning Dunskin Appaloosa mare Arawood Lace, bred by Sheena Martin, who can produce a range of colour because she carries Cream and Dun on a Bay Base. She is also by the well-bred “Enriched” (imp In-Utero AUS) who’s sire Ric O’ Lena (Palomino Leopard) is in the Australian Hall Of Fame for his long list of achievements. Enriched was bred at Cayuse Stud in Australia. Lace has foaled a filly this year, to the striking “Justa Lil Promisq S. When she loses her foal coat, we will see whether or not she is Dun, like her daddy. There are two QH mares, both put in foal. Stylistalynx (chestnut) is in foal to Alfie as well and Party Girl (Bay) is in foal to Justa Lil Promisq S (Grullo). My home-bred mare Classic Jewel (homozygous for LP), out of National Champion mare GB Classique L’Amour, has also been placed in foal to Justa Lil Promisq S (Grullo). The three old girls Stylish Suzy (Suzy), Fair Haze and Waimarama Kachina won’t be far from retirement, so the time was right to do this. Stylish Suzy was sired by Stylish Zippo who was ApHANZ Super-Horse three years in a row from 2007 - 2009. Fair Haze has some very old Appaloosa bloodlines and produces nice quiet foals, and Waimarama Kachina (China) is very well bred, being out of Nakia Mist who was ApHANZ Super-Horse in 1992. Nakia Mist has produced three Champions from memory. China’s sire was the black snowcap stallion Go Bars Express and his sire was the imported Cayuse Ballistics from the Cayuse Stud in Australia.
In the breeding program is the striking young filly Tina (born 2016) as a future broodmare. She appears to be a black snowcap, and she’s sadly been delegated to the broodmare paddock at such a young age, due to a hock injury which may not come right. She is by FHS Captain Zipper bred by Eileen Oswald, and out of Magic Impulse (by Jagady Billy Bar Oh). This will be the 2nd Jagady Billy Bar Oh mare. Jagady was a well sought-after stallion and handsome as well. As you can see from his photo he was nicely put together, and Jagady was also sired by Cayuse Ballistics (imp AUS). Tina’s sire FHS Captain Zipper comes from a quiet bloodline as well. His grandsire is Shizhoni Kahlua Chief (Palomino Fewspot), who is known for his quietness and he is also a maternal half brother to my former stallion Silver Invader.
Up and coming new Stud is the two-year-old bay fewspot c**t son of Silver Invader, Hi-Ho-Silver. He was the last foal Silver Invader sired. He has been genetically colour-tested to show he can sire chestnut, black and bay foals, depending on the mare he’s bred with. He will be started under saddle shortly. He is out of my very quiet mare Stylish Suzy, so he’s a paternal half-brother to my current stallion Alfie (Midnights Silver Saphire).
