Avalon's Evening Rhapsody   

True Black, 1113198, 3/8 Chilean, 5/8 Peruvian

This beautiful young lady is a real eye catcher. She is covered with fiber from nose to toes on a strong, well conformed frame with big bone. Her lovely fiber has a bold style crimp and long staple length. We are delighted with her.

Judge Kristin Buhrmann, at the 2005 Wisconsin Spring Fling, placed her first in her True Black Class and selected her as the Black Reserve Color Champion.

True black from two true black parents, Jag carries color genetics deep with black and grey. In addition to the rich black color, his fiber has wonderful hand and architecture...a fabulous combination!

We purchased Jag to be the perfect complement to daughters coming from our three champion colored herdsires, Snowmass King Crimson, Lace's Peruvian Black Lance,and Avalon's Peruvian Granger. We've already seen the outstanding daughters coming from Crimson and Lance, so we knew we had to find a male worthy of them. We believe Jag is the answer.

Unfortunately, Jag was not shown as a juvenile. Tucked away in a back pasture of a large farm, Jag went unnoticed. Well, that has changed! Since we purchased Jag, we have been eager to get him into the showring. He "came home" in early March 2007 and, as a yearling, had his first experience with a halter and lead. Only days later he was in his first show. Jag gai
