Registration:  "Eclipse" is a foundation bred Appaloosa registered with the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC).  Eclipse has an incredible pedigree going back to the 1840's and has the well known stallions Solar Flair Eclat and Apache Polar Star close up in her pedigree.   Description:  Eclipse is a sweet mare with a nice head, good bone, smooth movement and a nice pedigree for sport horse breeding behind her.  She was started under saddle at the age of 11 and reportedly was such a breeze that her rider felt comfortable enough to ride her down the road on one of their very first rides.  This is the typical solid Appaloosa mind and work ethic that we truly appreciate.  Eclipse has been a broodmare up until this point and thus far has produced four lovely, well colored foals.   You will not find any up-close QH or TB blood in this mare's pedigree.  It boasts some of the best foundation Appaloosas which have produced very good using horses with sport horse conformation and movement.  Color Genetics:  Eclipse is E/E (homozygous for black).  She is also a near fewspot and therefore is LP/LP - homozygous for the leopard complex which causes Appaloosa characteristics (mottling, white sclera, striped hooves) and allows color expression in the presence of any major pattern gene (PATN).  Until the DNA testing for Appaloosa color genetics becomes available we will not know how many different types of PATN she carries but we do know that she does carry at least one copy of PATN1 - the gene responsible for large spotted pattern areas (leopard, near leopard and suppressed leopards).  Thus far all of her foals have been well colored.  Domino Morgan LeFaye 2006 filly by Oaks Lyon Heart photo courtesy of Domino Farm Domino Tuolumne 2007 filly by Buckshott H photo courtesy of Domino Farm
