Starbuck is the first perlino officially recognized by APHA. He is also the first Breeding Stock stallion to
ever earn an APHA Championship, and the first one to earn a Superior in any event. Starbuck's
combination of superb conformation, show stopping presence, and absolutely breathtaking
pearlescent cream and gold color can take your breath away! The judges must agree: 51 out of 56
placed him first in Halter, and Starbuck is UNDEFEATED in performance classes, earning Circuit
Championships in Working Hunter, Hunter Hack, Hunter Under Saddle, and Western Pleasure.
Starbuck is nominated to the AQHA incentive fund and APHA Breeders Trust. When you breed your
registered AQHA mare to Starbuck, your foal will be eligible for the following registries: AQHA, APHA,
ABRA, IBHA...and more! There are only a handful quality stallions could offer you that many venues,
and he is the only one that can put a buckskin / dunskin color on any non-dilute/non-grey mare! We
want to see his babies go out and succeed!
Personally, I LOVE this horse! He has a FANTASTIC disposition, very kind and gentle. After searching
long and hard for a horse with the conformation, movement and color genetics, we chose him with the
hope that he would be all that we were looking for. He is even more than we expected, and he has
won my heart with his personable, friendly and willing disposition. How many stallions can retire from
riding for 6 years, and go back under saddle with the disposition of a gelding? Starbuck now enjoys
trail rides and casual arena work in the off season, a true testament to his wonderful disposition!

Starbuck is a very rare perlino, because he can be thought of as a
homozygous buckskin. He has tested Red Factor EE at UC Davis (he
can not sire red based foals, ie palomino), and he is also homozygous
for the bay color (agouti gene) so he can not sire a smokey black.
Starbuck's sire is a registered dun, and since Starbuck has a gold dorsal
stripe, Starbuck also carries the dun gene. On sorrel, bay and black
mares you can only get a variation of buckskin or dunskin foal.
Starbuck offers an opportunity to guarantee the popular buckskin color
conformation and temperament. When breeding to Starbuck, your foal's
exact shade of buckskin will also depend on the color of your mare.
Chestnut and light, clear coated bay mares would be ideal to produce a
light buckskin foal with good contrast between body color and black
points. A dark bay/brown or black mare could also produce a much
darker buckskin, regardless the shade it will genetically be a buckskin.
Since Starbuck has a dorsal stripe, some foals will also have a dorsal
stripe (dunskin).
The only exceptions to a buckskin foal would be if your mare is grey, or
carries a dilute gene. If you have a dilute mare, you have a 50% chance
of a perlino, and if your mare is grey there is a 50% chance your foal will
be born buckskin and turn grey.
