He’s a superhero all right! X man is not just the sire of beautifully fleeced appaloosas and harlequins from solid females but also produced a harlequin that was awarded 2023 grey female National Champion. His pedigree is stacked with elite solid colored ancestry and he carries the appaloosa genotype of his ancestor NGG Lionel. This boy is five years old and just getting started. This priceless opportunity will be made available June 1, 2024-- Parade of Champions Auction in N. Salem, New York. Come see him in person. Online bidding will be available as well. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If your goal is to produce elite-fleeced appaloosas and harlequins, this young male is for you. He is handsome and well-grown-- 190 lbs. (Feb 2024) He carries elite-fleeced heavy hitters in his pedigree such as Legacy, El Nino, and Snowmass XXXtreme. These elite-fleeced alpacas are known for their lasting-fineness and density. GSire Accoyo America Sai-Hoji was 21 micron at 11 years of age! Not only does X Man sport a sweet, easy-to-handle disposition... his fleece is exactly what you would expect from such a stellar pedigree. He is dense and fine and FULL of crimp! He has a tight primary to secondary ratio with an AFD of 21.2, SD 3.9 and Fibers Greater than 30=0.6%. (Age 4) Expect lasting fineness from this guy! X Man now has 17 offspring on the ground. We are extremely pleased with the quality and coloration of his progeny. They are having great success at shows and on the auction stages. A couple of noteworthy accomplishments... June 2023 - X Man's harlequin offspring Monet's Palette of DVAF sold at the New York Parade of Champions after some very competitive bidding. July 2023 - X Man's harlequin offspring - Derwydd's Pukka-Dot by X-Man took the GREY Color Champion at the 2023 AOA National Fleece Show.

Congratulations to Blackberry Fields Alpaca Farm on their purchase of Olivia (bred to RG Zagato's Cray-Z) and her 2025 X-Man cria at side XOXO! May they both make beautiful offspring for you for years to come! * * * * * * * * * * * Offered as a 3-in-1 Package Olivia is being offered with her 2025 female cria at side. As she is currently open, the buyer may select the herdsire and timing of her next breeding—an ideal opportunity to tailor your own program schedule. Also listed for sale is Olivia’s handsome Harlequin son, Be Brave, now of breeding age and standing at stud. We will part with either Olivia with her cria at side or Be Brave, but not both. Once one is sold, the other will be removed from the sales list. We love the genetics this line offers, but are making this difficult choice to preserve optimal diversity within our breeding program.Stone Pine Olivia is a striking blend of rare genetics, proven production power, and sweet disposition—often greeting visitors with her signature nose kisses. She is the stunning result of pairing the homozygous harlequin powerhouse Vintage Cashmere’s U-Taupe-ia with Buck Brook Morning Glory, a cross that has delivered the complete package: fiber, phenotype, and personality. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Her sire, “Taupie,” has produced over 50 offspring, with more than 70% exhibiting Appaloosa or Harlequin grey coloration—many of them champions, including champion grand-offspring. His influence is consistently seen in conformation, fleece structure, and expression of rare patterns. For Olivia’s maiden breeding, she was paired with another prepotent homozygous harlequin male, Apache Gentleman. Apache is the sire of over 30 registered offspring—most being Appaloosa or Harlequin—with strong show-ring presence, including 3X champion Alchesay. Apache himself boasts Get of Sire wins for his uniquely patterned progeny. 2022 Cria – “Be Brave” On August 11, 2022, Olivia delivered her first cria—a handsome Harlequin Appaloosa male—with ease and grace. She proved to be highly maternal with excellent milk production. Be Brave is a spunky, well-built male with dense, crimpy curls. Given his pedigree, he is likely homozygous for the Appaloosa-Harlequin allele. 2024 Cria – “Sizlin’s On Fya” On New Year’s Day 2024, Olivia delivered a female Appaloosa cria sired by multi-champion Snowmass Sizlin Legacy XX. While Fya’s Appaloosa spotting is minimal, she exhibits elite fleece characteristics and carries Olivia’s strong pattern genetics—making her an excellent future prospect. 2025 Cria – "XOXO" Olivia delivered her third cria on May Day 2025—another unassisted birth. This fawn female has a dark muzzle, palette, and eyeliner, with tight curls from Day 1. She is sired by Rare Gem X-Man, our celebrated Appaloosa herdsire. This breeding was X-Man’s last duty before heading to the 2024 Parade of Champions auction—and he did not disappoint.

Description

Introducing Rare Gem X-Spotsss XOXO, a bright and beautiful female cria born May Day 2025 out of our proven Harlequin dam Stone Pine Olivia and sired by the wildly popular Appaloosa male, Rare Gem X-Man. This sweet girl may have skipped the visible spots that her lineage is so well known for—but she brings every bit of the charm, fleece quality, and personality that we could have hoped for. Her name—XOXO—was affectionately inspired by her parents, combining the "X" from sire X-Man and the "O" from dam Olivia. It suits her perfectly. From Day 1, XOXO has impressed us with her straight, well-balanced proportions, dense bundles of bright curls, and an outgoing, confident personality that captures hearts quickly. Her dam, Olivia, has been a consistent Appaloosa and Harlequin producer for us, delivering excellence in both conformation and maternal instincts. Olivia’s first cria, Be Brave, is a striking Harlequin male now standing in our stud row. Her second, Sizlin’s On Fya, is a bright Appaloosa female with elite fleece, currently out for a special breeding with her first offspring anticipated in 2026. XOXO completes this trio with her own unique promise. We recently made the decision to offer Olivia and XOXO as a 3-in-1 package—a difficult choice made to maintain proper genetic diversity within our herd. We are delighted that they’ve found their forever home with Blackberry Fields Alpaca Farm on the stunning Northern California coast, where we’re confident they’ll continue to shine. XOXO is not available for sale. This page is maintained as a record of her pedigree and story.
