Kachina Grand Star

11/26/2025

0 Comments

 
Kachina Grand Star turned 20 this year and is one of many daughters of the half Arabian North Star kept for the herd. Her dam was the buckskin Salt Water Taffee who is a granddaughter of Sweet Mischief/Goose that I featured recently. She's had two daughters kept for the herd, the palominos Kachina Mayli Mist and short lived Kachina's Shanandoah Raindancer.

Kachina is a buckskin like her dam. Buckskin is a bay with the cream dilution. Around half of her foals have inherited her cream including her two buyback daughters. The cream can be traced back to her half Arabian maternal great grandsire Gunner's Moon.

Since she's a bay with cream she has a copy of black and of agouti. Agouti restricts her black to her points. She's never produced a black so it looks like she has two copies of agouti.

Kachina carries one copy of recessive chestnut from her chestnut sire. Her palomino and chestnut foals show this copy of chestnut even though she visually doesn't.

Her sire North Star was a tobiano pinto but she didn't inherit it from him.

The black on Kachina's legs is usually a lot lower or more minimal than most buckskins. This kind of minimal black is called wild bay, or in her case wild buckskin. It so far hasn't been found to be genetic.
