Champagne is a
pretty curly palomino
(also homozygous for
agouti) two year old
sired by Prince Moon
Beam. Champagne
is one of only 8
palomino Curly Fox
Trotters in the world!
What a beautiful and
flashy mare she will be
when fully mature
standing at 15 to 15.1
hands high. (Update:
Champagne is
currently 14.3 hands
high at just under 2.5
years old.......photos
coming soon)
Champagne has a tiny star and
snip and one small white sock.
Eventually we believe that she
will be a golden palomino roan
when fully mature.
She has lovely conformation from
her sire and a nice smooth gait.
We are quite pleased with how
she is shaping up so far. We are
keeping Champagne for our
family to ride and our breeding
program and have a couple
exceptional Fox Trotter stallions
in mind for her, but we definitely
have some time to decide!
Champagne is from Bashkir Curly
Horse bloodlines and is
registered with MFTHBA (gold
papered) and the ICHO. Champagne is not for sale.
We got DNA test results back and found out the Champagne is homozygous for the agouti gene
(AA) which means in her future foals, if the sire throws the black gene, she will always have either a
buckskin or bay foal! Just like her daddy, Moon! He is so proud!
Yearlings, Champagne and her best buddy,

We anxiously await each year as Champagne sheds her winter coat. It will take her 4-5 years
to develop to her full palomino color.
