Wayfarer by Armani

One breeding season we decided to gamble on breeding a couple of our white females to GLR Armani to see if we could get some appaloosa or multi type coloring. While this guy came out solid fawn, he came out catching my eye very early on. Nice luster and lock structure. We kept thinking he is not just incredibly cute (an adorable smile) he is developing a lovely fleece and nice body frame.

Histogram came in as our most uniform & finest fleece to date. 15 AFD = fine and 3.4 SD especially when we think back on our earlier days we were happy to have suri with a SD of 5 or less! While his regrowth does not appear to be as fine it continues to be impressive.

We were able to get him entered into the Gold Country and California Classic shows. He took a respectful 2nd place in halter classes and although a 4th in walking fleece, a pretty nice score card of 72.5/85.

Because he scored even better than a few of our champions, we entered him again at Wild West and Golden West shows. Each halter he took a 2nd with comments that it was very close between first and 2nd. One judge commented his fleece was slightly denser and higher luster. We are on a dirt property and have had pretty bad wind and mud here so it was not a surprise that his walking fleece scores were significantly lower than prior. One judge commented the humidity at venue may likely have also affected handle. However, he did receive a Reserve championship for Wild West walking fleece so we are pleased.

We should really try and get color typing to see if it is possible he carries any of the grey or spotted. If you are looking to add a male with coveted suri fleece attributes, this guy could be it.
