Looking for stellar appaloosa / harlequin genetic at a great price? DarkStar might just be your guy. DarkStar's sire is the highly expressive and wildly spotted harlequin appaloosa herdsire Apache Gentleman. This line carries legendary appaloosa / harlequin genetics on both sides of the pedigree. These exciting genetics are in high demand and several of DarkStar's siblings have been exported to Europe.

DarkStar's dam is true black, Delphi's Bodacia "Bodie". Bodie is the daughter of Judges Choice and 9X grey color champion-- KVRs Peruvian True Eye Candy.

From GSire, IKE's page... JUDGE'S CHOICE WINNER FOR FLEECE!! Ike's advanced Judge's Choice fleece, which scored 87 points - puts him in a very very small class of elite classic gray herd sires. In halter, he was awarded Color Champion at arguably the toughest halter show in the country, the Futurity. is a US Steel daughter so this boy's pedigree is packed with grey genetics.

DarkStar's maternal brother 2X champion, Rare Gem Bada Bing! Now standing stud in Central California.

DarkStar is a solid youngster-- straight legs, a bright, dense, curly true black fleece. DarkStar's harlequin appaloosa sire throws appaloosas and harlequins >80 percent of the time. Unfortunately, DarkStar missed the memo on the spots. DarkStar has a 50 percent chance of carrying the appaloosa gene and being able to produce it. We believe that the chance is much better than 50 percent as he is expressing some spotting on her rear left left where you can see white and brown spots. DarkStar's color genotype is Ee a2a2 which is very desirable for an appaloosa / harlequin breeding program. If that is not your thing... DarkStar is also a nice choice for black and grey breeders given his stellar grey and black pedigree.

DarkStar is an easy to handle, sweet boy. We have a video of his first time on a halter and lead. We would be happy to send to you so you can see how great he did. No drama... just off and walking.
