This blog is dedicated to me (Kachina). I am a pretty rare breed-- a Curly Black & White Tobiano Missouri Foxtrotter. Find out more about my background by looking at my parents' blogs. (below)

There are probably only about 200 Curly Missouri Foxtrotters in the world and about 15 or so of those are Black Tobiano. As far as I know, I am the only one homozygous for black. Which means that I will never give birth to a chestnut or a palomino. So, that's how Rare I am. AND....my markings are especially beautiful and sought after.

My owner (Dream Packer) said that my name came to her nearly the instant she saw me. She had chosen "Kachina" as a possibility for a tobiano before I was born.

Kachina means Spirit

Kachinas are the spirits of departed ancestors, of rain and clouds, ofsupernatural beings, and of life in its many manifestations. Lore says, they are guardians of the Hopi and carry the prayers of the people to the spirit world. Carved Kachina dolls are given to Hopi children to help them identify the various spiritual figures and their costumes.
During the annual cycle of Pueblo rituals, brilliantly costumed and masked Kachina dancers, acting as intermediaries, summon their spirit ancestors for blessings of sunshine, rain, bountiful crops, and success in hunting, and thank them for the favors bestowed upon the pueblo. Today the Kachina is an important element in Southwest jewelry.
