After spending about a year getting to know our first clone, we decided to try again for another. Her markings are a bit different from the original and Clone 1, but overall, she is very similar and looks almost identical in confirmation.  The way she looks at you, the personality, behavior, and gaits are nearly identical to the others.  This time we needed a new name, because we can’t call them all D’Orée, so we named this one D’Orsée!  Since it’s been about 10 years since the original D’Orée left our farm, we have many employees that never knew the original.  Now that we have Clone 2 it has become crystal clear to everyone on the farm that these horses are incredibly similar in every way.  We are often asked “Isn’t it weird?”? Now we have the first-hand experience to answer and our answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT!  If you have an animal that has that special something, this is the best way we can think of to capture the essence of that animal.  It’s similar to a breeding program where you try to produce a desired outcome, but rather than a generational step down you’re working with a genetic twin instead.  We are so excited to see what the future holds for both of these girls!
