Estates Lustrous Graphite is a striking true black female whose exceptional fleece fineness, impressive show-ring accomplishments & championship-producing family distinguish her as an exciting breeding prospect. A daughter of 6x Champion Irish Meadows' Peruvian Carbon Copy & Hobby Horse Evening Shadow, Graphite earned 1st Place at the 2026 CABA Classic and exceptional praise from respected judges.
Graphite displays remarkably soft, bright fleece with excellent staple length & attractive crimp extending into her neck. Her compact, balanced frame, broad chest & correct bite complement her striking true black coloring.
At the 2026 National Western Stock Show, Judge Jacob Hart praised her long, bright fleece as "extremely, extremely soft overall." Graphite placed 2nd behind the eventual Reserve Color Champion. At the 2026 TXOLAN Bluebonnet Stakes, Judge Kevin O'Leary identified her as the finest in her class, estimating her fleece at least FOUR MICRONS finer than her competitors! He also praised her conformation: "well-balanced. Great head. Good substance of bone. Extremely fine." These detailed assessments underscore the exceptional fineness, softness & structural quality she brings to a breeding program.
Her sire, 6x Champion Irish Meadows' Peruvian Carbon Copy, earned championships at the Great Western Alpaca Show, America's Alpaca Showcase & AOA National Show. Known for exceptional fineness & zipper-style crimp, this true black herdsire is by legendary 19x Champion Avalon's Jacob Black, a 2x Futurity Dark Reserve Herdsire of the Year.
Graphite's dam, Hobby Horse Evening Shadow, is a true black foundation female by Hobbyhorse Rico's Arctic Rendezvous & multi-champion Hobby Horse Puttin' on the Ritz. Evening Shadow earned three 2nd Place finishes, including halter & walking fleece honors at the 2017 AOA National Show. Her offspring include Color Champion Sparta, Graphite's maternal half-sister, and 2x Reserve Champion Estates Negligence, Graphite's full sister.
Even more remarkable, Graphite is a FULL SISTER to Odin's Black Widow, the dam of 16x Champion Estates Dark Venom! This makes Graphite Dark Venom's maternal aunt & places her within a proven family producing exceptional black champions across generations. The successful Carbon Copy × Evening Shadow pairing has produced multiple accomplished offspring, with Graphite adding her own CABA Classic blue ribbon & judges' extraordinary assessments of fineness and softness.
With exceptional individual fleece quality, sound conformation, a 6x Champion sire & close ties to 16x Champion Dark Venom, Estates Lustrous Graphite offers breeders an outstanding opportunity to strengthen their black breeding programs with proven championship-producing genetics.
