Registration:  "Mikasa" is registered with the Appaloosa Sport Horse Association (ApSHA). Description:  Mikasa is a very sweet and lovely moving mare.  She is a bay suppressed leopard with all Appaloosa characteristics (striped hooves, mottled skin and white sclera).  She was started under saddle as a 3 year old, has some professional training and has been ridden intermittently although her primary use has been breeding.  Mikasa has come to Altamont Sport Horses on a breeding lease to produce Appaloosa Sport Horses.   Thank you to Infinity Farm of Amsterdam, NY for allowing us to breed Mikasa. This big girl is just so kind and gentle.  She gets along well in the herd and is always patient.  She is built for dressage or eventing with good conformation and a powerful hind end.  She has phenomenal reach and impulsion as you would expect with her dam being a standardbred trotter.  Mikasa also has the large boned, foundation Appaloosa heritage with the movement and substance of a warmblood (but with spots).  Mikasa's full siblings are doing quite well in jumping competition.

Breeding/Offspring:  Mikasa had one foal before coming to Altamont Sport Horses.  2006 - bay, near leopard filly by Butterwap Confetti 2008 - Mikasa produced a big handsome solid chestnut colt by Macha Breeze RID  on 5/19/08.  This Irish Draught Sport Horse colt, Machado, will be registered with the IDHSNA.  Check back soon for photos.  This colt is offered for sale.  Please contact us if you are interested in learning more. 2010 - Mikasa acted as an embryo recipient mare for our purebred Trakehner foal by Holster and out of Ala.  She foaled May 2010. 2011 - We are tentatively planning to breed Mikasa back to our junior stallion Hollywood Hot Spot in 2010 for a 2011 foal.
