I've never seen anything quite this color (and without markings) before in equitants (that I own or at shows). So I think it is definitely special. Its sibling has even more intense red/maroon color, but the form isn't as nice and it has a yellow mask. I'm considering a sib cross, it would be so cool to bloom out a couple hundred of the sib cross to see if I could get the color of the sib on the form of the awarded one.

I'll try to make a division but I don't know that I'll be able to sell any for a while. I think they will be busy procreating... Fortunately these things grow fast. I guess they can be mericloned, but I still haven't found anybody to do that for me.
