Circle C Farm Equine Facility in Covington, LA.
Circle C Farm Equine Facility in Covington, Lousiana is owned by Dana Galliano. Along with breeding great Cremello horses, Circle C Farm is a full service equine facility built in 1994. Several World or Reserve World Champions have been created here. Trainer Joseph Trosclair oversees all activities at the facility.
Circle C stands a Cremello quarter horse stallion, Elvis White Diamond, also known as Elvis. Elvis is a Cremello quarter horse and pinto. In case you don’t know anything about cremello horses here is a quick lesson. Elvis is known as a double dilute, which means he has two copies of a crème or dilute gene. A palomino, buckskin and smoky black have only one copy of dilute gene and non-dilutes (bay,sorrel, black and chestnut) have no crème gene. Elvis will produce a 100% palomino when crossed on a sorrel. A double dilute is NOT an albino. The crème gene only makes the horses color lighter. The only true pink skin or white hair is on its markings. It is a misconception that a double dilute horse sunburns easily (unlike a white horse with pink skin) or have an increase in cancer or melanomas(like a gray horse). Elvis is negative for the lethal white gene. He will NEVER produce a lethal white with an overo mare. Elvis is Agouti heterozygous (A/a). This means his percentages of producing buckskins are higher.
