Thanks very much! Folla and family is in the Schieferegg's breeding group too. They have Iranian and Egyptian bloodlines. I was to purchase one of their beautiful stallions but unfortunately he got injured and probably best he stays at his home. He is by Harb and out of bint Palmira. His egyptian sire line is Hashem, the WAHO trophy winner by performing in and winning a +/- 500 km Madrid-Lisboa endurance ride. Hashem is by Hamdan II. Ibn Harb is so excellent in conformation and disposition and a well balanced 50-50 in bloodlines, I truly regret he is now injured.
Dear Nasheeta
This horse has a very impressive pedigree with lots of race winners of consequence.
Although injured, he should be considered strongly for any breeding shed to carry forward his genes.
I always wondered why in the Arabian Horse Industry only very few look at the ingredients of a horse's pedigree- and I mean performancewise. No other breed does, from the pulling Belgiums to the Qterhorses, the Engl. Thoroughbred and on and on.
Is it ignorance or getting on a bandwaggon which is so overloaded it will break down?
I have seen such georgeous SES, but would not want them, because they simply dont cut the muster when it comes to
conformation/movement one needs as an athlete. Often I find that people also dont realize what "movement" realy is.
A short striding, Sauerkraut Stamper can never win against super striding horses, unless they are the only horse in the competition.
It is also good to examine where what the horse won or did good. There is a destinct diference of running on country fair ground versa the Kentucky Derby. One must learn to grade. Seminars should be set up to teach just that. Other nations are far better informed, so why cant we get on that bandwaggon?
I also feel that some seminars are the culprits, when REALITY is left out. When people are not informed to look at the horse/pedigree to determine where the problem lies. That of course needs dead on honesty with oneself.
Just my humble opinion
Take care
