It was serendipity
that we ended up with Ella; she was originally sold to another
breeder, and when that sale fell through, I jumped at the chance
to buy her. Sunni, Ella's breeder, has retained her full sister
Ever After, and considers her one of her best--and we can see
why. Ella's dam is closely linebred on Surprise, being a result
of a breeding of Surprise to her son Flash. Ella represents a
cross of the Surprise line with a Kingwood descendant, which has
proven very successful in the past. She is very elegant and level
on the move, with great legs and feet and a sweet, cheerful disposition
to boot. Bred to Giacomo; kidded with buck/doe twins 4/9/08. Ella's
udder is a carbon copy of her beautiful sister's, a very good
thing. It also bears a strong resemblance to that of Something
Wild, her paternal half sister, though their dams are not related;
this is nice evidence of the prepotence of their sire, Fox Fire.
