WAP Black Betty by Oliver Twist
Suri, Female, Proven | True Black
ARI# 36128747, D.O.B. 7/23/2020,
Sire: Sir Oliver Twist of WAP ARI#
35139218 Light Brown Oliver is the 2nd pairing of the same dam and sire and the proof is in those genetics! His full sister, Olivia De Hav-a-Lock of WAP blew the socks off the show world in 2015 taking the Judges Choice award at both The Futurity and GWAS as a juvenile, two of the most competitive shows in the country! She then went on to be Reserve Champion at the Futurity in 2017!! These are very hard footsteps for her brother to follow but.......He certainly did it!!
Oliver has nailed it!! He is also a 2X judges choice winner - GWAS and CABA Classic as well as 10 Color Championships. Oliver's sire, Admiral's Commandor, touts well sought after genetics not seen on many pedigrees today. Oliver's dam, WP Captain's Lady Di (deceased), one of the best dams produced by the our own Captain Morgan, brings those ever so sought after Macgyver lines.This female was our top producer on the farm and it shows in her quality production, year after year.
Oliver is perfect in his conformation, has luster to die for, exhibits a beautiful phenotypical suri head and has a lock style indicative of his name...Sir Oliver TWIST!
His cria have been nothing short of stunning. They are everything we had hoped for out of this outstanding herdsire! His breedings are closed so you'll have to buy a female bred to him or purchase an open female and breed her to him! We've had 17 Oliver cria born on our farm and 11 of them are females!
Oliver Twist is co-owned with Leslie Rebtoy of Healing Springs Suris in Oklahoma. For breeding options, please contact either of us.
Dam: WAP Licorice by Fabian ARI#
32256338 True Black Licorice is a true black daughter of a Maserati son, Fabian, and a gorgeous dam, Adrienne. She carries a lustrous, true black fleece, with a very fine handle.
Licorice's 2017 cria, Red Vine, was sired by Argo, a Commandor son. Argo impressed the judges in the show ring and he continues to draw attention on the farm from our girls!
Licorice was bred to our Sir Oliver Twist and they didn't disappoint! On 7/23/20 she delivered Oliver's first true black offspring! Black Betty is all we hoped for from this breeding. And.....she's also for sale - check out her listing!
Unfortunately, Licorice absorbed her 2022 & 2023 cria however.....She became a surrogate mom to a cria who lost his mom at just 2 months old. He actually brought in her milk, and she has taken him on as her own!! AND....she lets all the cria nurse from her - sometimes 2 or 3 at one time!! This female is certainly an asset to any breeding herd! Given she was nursing our orphaned cria, she was not bred last year.
She sells with a breeding to Bobby D, our true black herdsire. His first cria are expected this summer.
Description
"Betty" is about as black as you can get! She has a very friendly personality and has that suri phenotype we like to see. She has a soft hand to her fiber and wet luster on this gorgeous black fleece. Add that to a statuesque stance and good substance of bone and this girl has it all.
Her sire, Oliver Twist, has proven himself both in the showring AND with his offspring.
Betty was bred to our true black Torbio son, Carbon Fiber (Deceased 2022). This male has produced 50% (17 of 34) black offspring. They didn't disappoint...On 5/21/23 Betty delivered our last Carbo cria...a true black female! Queen of the Night (Queenie) is a blue black, stunning girl. Very upright, statuesque like her dam, with a silky, lustrous fleece.
Betty sells with true black Queenie by side and a breeding to any Wings and A Prayer herdsire.
