Elderwood’s Voodoo Queen, known here as Queenie, is a Harlequin Appaloosa Huacaya female. This girl was such an awesome surprise! We love it when they are covered from head to toe in spots.
We bred FPC Peruvian Aiko to Golden Touch’s Easy Rider hoping for a heavily patterned female, and Queenie was exactly what we hoped for. She combines two different spotted families and gave us an eye-catching Harlequin with plenty of pattern of her own.
Queenie has since proven that she can pass it on. Her first two daughters, ELWD’s Voodoo LaRoux and Elderwood’s Voodoo Veil, are both spotted. Roux is a Harlequin by Illini’s Deuces Wild, while Veil is an Appaloosa by Irish Meadows’ Crescendo. Seeing Queenie produce spotted daughters by two different sires has made this family even more exciting for us.
Queenie is one of three daughters we retained from our late Aiko, along with ELWD’s Totally Bewitched and Elderwood’s Maybe It Was Memphis. Each is by a different sire, giving us three different branches through which Aiko’s genetics continue in our herd.
Aiko was a Harlequin and the only registered offspring of Appaloosa TGA Mario. Her maternal line continues through Senna’s Zoey and 6Peruvian Century. Queenie’s sire, Golden Touch’s Easy Rider, brings another documented Appaloosa family into her pedigree along with his own unique story.
