For a long time Cheshire Farms avoided breeding Creams into their Dun Factor Lines, since it diluted the presence of Dunfactor1. However eventually we fell in love with how Dun Factor 2 looked on a double cream dilute. After successfully breeding 4 generations of even breed stock, we noticed that our older horses markings were vanishing with age. This was quite the disappointment since we worked so hard to breed all the varnishing genes out of them. But it's the way the game is designed, so once again we had to change our goals. The goal of this program is to breed Solid Colored Double Cream Stock Horses with Dun Factor 2.

About Our Breeding Stock

All of our breeding stock comes from Evergreen Boughs, or horses that are homozygous recessive for Reduced Varnish. Appaloosa breeders may also enjoy the Appaloosa Spot Regulator Genes in our lines. While we are currently working on breeding LP out of our lines, we also want to include Sooty and DP to deepen the expression and rich color of the DFP2 markings.

Cheshire Farms began in May 2020 with a focus on breeding Dun Appaloosas. With hard work an dedication to the breed, we are now 13 generations strong. Our foundation is built upon excellent breeding stock and rigorous testing. You can expect the same dedication from any breeding program hosted by Cheshire Farms.
