Description

Pine Valley's American Patriot - an exceptional multi male that we are ecstatic to have on our herdsire row. He continues to exceed every expectation we had for him as both a show animal and a working herdsire. Since first being introduced, Patriot continued adding to an already impressive show resume, earning a Judge’s Choice award — possibly the first only multi male to achieve this honor? He has earned multiple championships even two National Championship awards in both halter and walking fleece as a mature male. He’s covered in soft, bright fleece that bundles beautifully with exceptional consistency across his multiple colors. Combined with his powerful frame, balance phenotype, and herdsire-packed pedigree, Patriot has matured into the complete package we hoped he would become.

We're extremely proud to announce that Patriot won the prestigious Best Head Award at the 2024 AOA National Show beating out 17 other animals! The icing on the cake? He's the FIRST multi animal to ever win Best Head - what an achievement! He has also won the same award TWO YEARS IN A ROW at the Michigan Alpaca Show.

Patriot is one of the few multis out there with champion packed genetics - be sure to check out his powerhouse pedigree. He's out of a pinto and appaloosa cross - we'll start with his sire:

Stagecoach Drulon's Cowboy (pictured), is a 7x blue ribbon winning and champion producing pinto. We absolutely love his dramatic spotting. He's sired by champion KVR's Peruvian Drulon My Fleece (pictured) and out of Snowmass Royal Rianna who's in the top 5% for 2023 EPD's.

Patriot's dam, Asgard-Acres Stars and Stripes (pictured) is also a 7x blue ribbon winner and gorgeous example of a true appaloosa. She's sired by 7x banner winner, AMAF Lucy's Little Ricky (pictured) - guess there's something about those Lucky 7's!

As one of the largest multi breeders in the Southeast, what excites us the most moving forward is not just Patriot’s success in the ring, but the quality, color potential, and overall presence we are already seeing passed along to the next generation.
