Kilblaan Farm Satine

Satine has more color in her pedigree than most of my foundation girls -- for those afficionados of gray, here is a girl who could probably produce it in spades! Her sire is true black, her dam is light silver gray. I bought Satine for my program when I parted her fleece and was dazzled by the copper penny brilliance and wonderful character. Now, Satine had a wonderful juvenile and yearling show history but, since then, she has developed little patches of gray thoughout her blanket. If we were trying to show her, we would run the risk of hearing the dreaded comment about a "contaminated" fleece. Since we are breeders first, all this portends for us is great fun in trying to see what this proven girl can do in the future! Satine's first offspring was just weaned -- he is a medium fawn stud potential male, out of our wonderful El Segundo de Royal Fawn. His medium fawn fleece possesses his sire's characteristic high frequency, bright skin-to-tip crimp and the extreme staple length for which our Segundo is also noted. Segundo's The Sandman catches the eye of almost all of our farm visitors, in fact. So, here is a girl with excellent mothering skills, an easy birther who bred back in a single breeding. Most people never will even consider offering such a female -- I promised myself I would not do so, ever again. However, here I am offering to sell a gem, one more time. Satine has been bred back to El Segundo de Royal Fawn. Segundo's penchant for pulling the black in almost any dam's lineage could once again surface. Oh, and Segundo did throw dark rose gray twice in 2004...! And as the old adage goes, if I sell her, she is sure to have a female cria in June of 2005!
