Elderwood’s Place Your Betts earned the 2025 AOA National Walking Fleece Color Championship as a juvenile, giving us an exciting early glimpse of what this Elderwood-bred Huacaya male had to offer. His fine, long-stapled fleece carries beautiful structure and character, matched by a wide frame, substantial bone, and balanced, boxy conformation.
His record includes three Color Championships, three Reserve Championships, and two Best Bred & Owned awards. He also received an invitation to the 2026 AOA National Invited Best Bred & Owned competition, recognition that is especially meaningful for an animal born and bred here.
His sire, Stillmeadow Farm Blizzard, is a Judge’s Choice winner with 15 championship banners and a production record that includes the 2026 National Supreme Champion, Elderwood’s Polar Wind. Betts is her paternal half brother, connecting his own accomplishments to another standout bred here at Elderwood.
His dam, ODF’s Annie’s Gabriella, is a black-and-white pinto with symmetrical markings and four white “socks.” She has produced multiple patterned offspring, bringing a pattern-producing maternal line to his pedigree alongside Blizzard’s fleece and production credentials.
