Introducing Peyd N Gold

After 17 purebred foals, WA Pejczyk's first half Arabian hit the ground a few days ago out of a Quarterhorse mare. The color is a little shocker to me used to the norm of bays or grays, but the owner/ breeder is thrilled. This palomino colt will be named, "Peyd N Gold", appropriate I think. Definitely a Pejczyk, with the tight ears, poll and structure, though admittedly he's a little more AQH looking in an already substantial rear end. Janow and Bialka still breed half Arabians, so seemingly appropriate for Pejczyk to dabble as well. The cowboy in dad is tickled with this western version of a Polish half Arabian and is already making the rounds to some reining trainers.

Just a little brag from me.....At the 2008 All Arabian Show in WA over the Easter weekend, I was delighted to have presented for me three horses.

Valdemar Lea whom was pictured in the Korona news with his dam Padrons Leah, was presented to win Champion foal, his first show. (Sire: Valor x TR Viktor (Nariadni/Muscat cross, out of El Shaklan/Russian mare))

Stallion) Dam: Greengrove Nadia (Barabas - Nadejni/Pesniar daughter) x G Ludmilla (Nimroz (Moment) x Vnuchka (Aswan) was awarded Champion Senior Mare & eventual Supreme Senior Purebred Exhibit. Also performed under saddle to narrowly miss being awarded The Ultimate Purebred Arabian Award which she won in 2007.

Halimas Amber Gem - Sire: Sanadik Ibn Estopa, Dam sired by Prince Fa Moniet (USA dec.d) out of daughter of ALII (USA) & Yanah Ibn Estopa. This gorgeous girl was awarded Champion Junior Filly & eventual Supreme Junior Exhibit.

To say I was excited would be an understatement. My team is just quite simply awesome.....Thank you to Cheryl & the ultimate team.

More exciting news is the very unique to Australia Greengrove Sasha Sire: Narim (Moment x Malpia) Dam: Vnuchka (Aswan x Nesravnennaja (Salon x Neposeda) has successfully tested in foal to the newly imported UK stallion Adras who is by Adres (Drug x Agata) out of Arina (Palas x Arra (Bandos x Arba)) bred by Cullinghurst Stud (Paul & Frances Atkinson and Nadia Howard-Price.) in the UK.

Sasha currently has a delightful filly at foot sired by Greengrove Vussja (Simeon Samuel - Jamill x Novina (Aswan x Nemezida)) out of Vnuchka. It just goes to show if one waits long enough those rewards do come round.

Oh & the other really exciting thing is........I am going to Poland!!!!!! This is my lifelong dream to finally visit the homeland of my father & see the Polish State Studs........I can hardly wait for August!

FVA Wonder - Kelly Arabians Farm - Daniel Kelly, Friendsville, PA

Kelly Arabians has recently purchased the stallion FVA Wonder - *Probat x *Wandaa by Madar, a very correct and pretty Chestnut son of *Probat with a great disposition. He produces very nice foals with beautiful heads and correct conformation.

KAF Mojave a Gallup son out of an Etiw daughter who was out of an MS Santana / Cognac mare also resides at Kelly Arabians. Mojave is a necky upright correct stallion with a wonderful disposition. He is currently on lease.

Both stallions are available for outside breedings. Please contact us if interested.

Also residing at Kelly Arabians are: Shes Likethe Wind - Triple Star x Drucilla by El Paso, Ambitious Miss - Opus One x Amfibias Clasix, Mattell KAF - Gallup x Bint Caliban and KAF Frabaska - Bru-Bet Bask x Bint Caliban

I have owned horses since 1971 acquiring Arabians since approx 1974 and residing on a very old dairy farm in North East Pennsylvania which has been in the family since 1843. I am currently working on updating the farm and the barns.

I believe we need to perpetuate and promote the old Polish blood we still have available, they are the foundation and we should never forget them.

Diwa Dwa

The last great gift from *Wojslaw was born Monday morning, March 24th, at 9:00. This was the only *Wojslaw foal due this year, and the Last of the Last. The foal is a gorgeous, ultra exotic, chestnut filly....and temporarily named "Diwa Dwa" (Diva II in Polish).

Her dam is PA Gazelle (*El Ghazi x *Diana by Probat). She is the only pure Polish *Diana daughter in the USA. Gazelle gave birth to full sister, Diwa, in 2005, an exceptional *Wojslaw filly, reputed to be his best. The new filly is virtually a twin, both have the same high quality, type and size, but also in markings which are inexplicably almost identical.

Gazelle also had an upright, big trotting, bay full brother to the fillies, Doktryn, in 2007, who is quite masculine and is also very exciting with his spectacular action.

This cross has been exceptional, and karmic, propitious, blessed, and has defied the fates.

*Wojslaw was breeding Gazelle, the only time he covered her, when he died instantly from a brain aneurysm. A sad and sudden taking of his life. He was my stallion of perfection. He left after only four years at my farm, after waiting for years and years to purchase him from Michalow Stud. By Arabian horse terms, he was still young at 21. It was such a shock and he was apparently in good health, dancing on his toes on the way to breed. He was an incredible stallion and I painfully miss his nobility, spectacular presence, his huge luminous eyes alive with controlled energy, his perfection in structure...and his Being.

Two and a half weeks later, with my heart in my throat, Gazelle was checked to see if she was pregnant...a thread of a hope drifting in the wind that she would be. At the time, the excellent repro vet that is used by the farm had unfortunately suffered a heart attack. So, a fairly inexperienced young vet was standing in and did an ultrasound exam. Gazelle was declared not pregnant. It just didn't seem to be true, for it was his best cross, and it was the last chance..... NO! It can't be! So, I waited another three weeks, and she still did not come into heat. I had her examined again by ultra sound. Same result along with the vet giving encouragement to give the mare prostaglandin to bring her into heat.

Something told me not to do that, so I refused the idea without hesitation. Then waited and watched for another month and a half. Still no heat. Finally, the regular vet returned to a limited practice and was here one day to look at other mares. I told him that Gazelle had been checked twice...neither time in foal, but would he "humor me" and look himself. So he did.....and announced that there was a huge, normal, healthy conceptus with a strong heartbeat inside!

Follow the heart, the instinct, and the winds of life!

So too sweet Gazelle, whom I purchased sight unseen based on her pedigree, gave her gift.... and "Diwa Dwa" is sleeping soundly in fresh new straw under the watchful gaze of her mother...and perhaps also by her generous and glorious sire, *Wojslaw.

This filly is a miracle...and she will be forever treasured.

And these are the real reasons for having horses....Oh, Joy!

New Addition at Crossen Arabians



The newest addition to Crossen Arabians' equine family was born March 22 at 8:30 a.m. A bay filly out of CA Chelsea (Aladdinn) and sired by LBA Lodestar+++, (Fame VF (Bey Shah) X LBA Anastasia (Barbary). LBA Lodestar+++ is a National Western Pleasure Champion as well as a multi-Top Ten in Halter Champion. He is also the sire of numerous National Western Pleasure Champions.

CA Chelsea, owned and bred by Crossen Arabians, is also the dam of Pikasso CA+/, a 2007 Sport Horse National Reserve Champion in First Level Dressage and Top Ten in Second Level. He is also a AHA Legion of Supreme Honor recipient.

With these Champion producing bloodlines, we expect this filly will have great potential in a variety of disciplines or be an asset to any breeding program. She is a long legged beauty with great angles and smooth floaty gaits. Additionally, she has a wonderful personality.

Still haven't as yet thought of a suitable name.

Regards,
Susan Crossen

Sad News From Janow Website

We have received sad news that Janow-bred stallion Penitent has passed away on the 19th of February, at the age of 29. Penitent was a Polish National Champion Stallion and European Champion Stallion. In 1988 he was exported to the US (Dunromin Arabians).

Among his get in Poland are such stars and excellent broodmares as Michalow bred: Kawalkada (US Nat. Champion Mare), Palestra - the dam of Prognoza, Palestyna and Palmira, Palba (Towerlands Champion Mare) and Dracena. Michalow bred Penitent son Eldon (Polish National Champion Stallion and European Champion Stallion) has prolonged the sire line, mainly through his Janow bred son Piaff (Polish National Champion Stallion).

New Filly Arrives at Toskhara Arabians



Toskhara Arabians is thrilled to announce the arrival of a Polish filly out of the mare SALUTKA (Negatraz X Sala by Czort) x Favoritt (Monarch AH x Fawora by Fawor) 1986 bred by the Pattersons, Sisters OR.

We had purchased Salutka from Kay in 2005 and Christine and Dr. Morris struggled from that time to get Salutka in foal. Several times she became pregnant but slipped the foal between 45 and 90 days. This time Salutka was in foal and in foal and in foal. She was in foal for almost 13 months. She looked OK, but wasn't super big, Christine observed the foal kicking so we just let nature take her course.

She delivered a healthy filly, but the filly certainly wasn't overly mature.

Here is a very proud Salutka.

We are so very pleased to get a filly to continue the wonderful damline of SABELLINA, one of the great racing damlines in Poland. Salutka's dam SALA (Czort X Sabellina by Abu Afas) is a full sister to the great race horse stallin, SAMBOR.

Christine and I discussed at length the decision of breeding her to *Kordelas versus breeding her to Favoritt. Kordelas would carry the foal towards the show ring while Favoritt would be directed at the race track. Both were used on Salutka over the course of the many attempts. The one embryo that survived was this filly by Favoritt.

What is interesting is how pretty the filly is in comparison to either parent.

It is really heart warming to see these older mares with their foals. They really appreciate them more. This is only Salutka's 2nd foal. She had a daughter SELEKTRA by EKAR (Pers X Ekawa by Alcaczar) a Polish stallion that Kay Patterson purchased in 1997 on her last visit to Poland. Kay was the breeder of Seletkra.

We hope this filly has the athleticism and heart to be a great race mare, a fitting tribute to her line.

At the moment whatever she does is closely supervised by Mom.

New *Equifor Colt at Drybrook Arabians

Pat and Fred Paul of Drybrook Arabians are thrilled with their new colt sired by *Equifor (*Gazal al Shaqab x *Eqviria) out of their treasured broodmare, Saikana (*Aikon x *Saikaa by Saudi).

This pure Polish young colt has been named DBA L Saqui (Saki for short). He is tall, fancy and very typey with an upright long neck and short back. He is the first foal born at their beautiful new farm in Culpeper, Virginia.

They moved last year from Waverly, NY, and are most appreciative of the beauty of the Virginia countryside and the significantly less snowfall! The Pauls also have the spectacular DBA Saiwojski, who is being successfully shown by Larry Jones. This look-alike *Wojslaw son, is a half brother to Saqui and will be campaigned in both Breed Ring and Sport Horse this year.

Visitors welcome anytime, just call or write.  Phone 540-937-7624 or e-mail drybrookarabians@hotmail.com.

*Equifor's first foal at Canterbury Farm


The highest expectations were realized and affirmed when a gorgeous grey filly was born from a treasured mare and by the prized stallion, *Equifor (*Gazal al Shaqab x *Eqviria by Pers).
This stallion is a multi champion in Poland including being Polish Res. National Champion Junior Stallion. He is on lease from Janow Podlaski to Canterbury Farm. Bred to be a sire as well as a show horse, he has proven the wisdom of Director Marek Trela.

This filly, named ELIGIA (meaning to choose or choice) is from the world famous family of Estokada, which is the "E" family from Michalow. Eligia's dam is the beautiful *Egeria (*Eukaliptus x Emigracja by Palas), the only full sister in the USA to the International Champions and Polish National Champions Mares, Emigrantka (dam of Polish NC Emigrant and US NC Mare, *El Dorada), Emanacja (dam of US & Polish NC Stallion *Emanor and mares Emilda and Emanda) and of Erlanda (dam of Champion *Elandra).

So, Eligia is the result of breeding the best of the contemporary bloodlines from Janow with those of the "E" family from Michalow. She is eclectically 100% pure Polish. Eligia is tall, long legged, with a short back, great topline and with an ultra long neck from both *Equifor and *Eukaliptus and an exotic head and huge well set eyes. Already she shows trot, and a big time "look at ME" attitude.

Needless to say, *Egeria will be bred back to *Equifor. Eighteen more *Equifor foals are due at the farm in 2008, and to such mares as Walencia (*Goliat x *Wilejka by *El Paso), Panda VF (*Bandos x *Pandemonium by Palas), *Edessa (*Wojslaw x Empressa), *Pieparta (Partner x Pieczec), *Elwara (*Arbil), Zusza (*Penitent) and *Weltawa (*Arbil x *Wilejka).

Watch for Eligia in the show ring in a year!

News From Glen Brook Arabians



We have had a busy year topped off by some good news. Most satisfying was a phone call from Judy Sewall of Bath, Maine reporting her victory aboard GBA Karakoram in the Crooked River 30, a thirty mile endurance contest in Waterford, Maine last fall. What makes this particularly newsworthy is that Karakoram (Citadel x Aristo Kailasa -- Ariston), one of the first foals of our first mare, is now nineteen years old, and his owner, a cancer survivor, kept going all through her chemotherapy. Our profound admiration and respect goes to both. We send along the attached photos of them scrambling and splashing to victory.

We congratulate Shalin and Joseph Foti of Waterbury, Connecticut, on their recent purchase of our lovely gray stallion GBA Kazimier (Monogramm x GBA Americandream -- Bandos). "Kaz" was Region 16 Champion and Nationals Semifinalist in Hunter Pleasure Open, and Region 16 Top Five in Western Pleasure Open. We look forward to watching their continued successes in the future.

Looking ahead, our two geldings, GBA Candyman (The Noblest x CanCan -- Negatraz) and GBA Monaco (Monogramm x Santiera -- Bandos) are progressing nicely in training under the watchful eyes of Bruce and Cindy Carpenter. They are showing off their skills by learning to jump, and their cooperative good natures as they carry around their new rider, a very tiny eight-year-girl. Videos of them are terrific.

Next in line and just starting out are two Wojslaw geldings, GBA Colby (ex CanCan -- Negatraz) and GBA Nikolai (ex Nostalgia, PASB -- Partner). These fellows are real look-alikes -- big, handsome, and great movers. The promise to do us proud.

All of these boys are available to new owners by contacting Glen Brook Arabians, LLC, and can be seen on our website at: www.Glenbrookarabians.com or phone (860) 355 3618.Finally, Our latest pride and joy is GBA Nadja (Monogramm x Nostalgia, PASB), a lovely, big, Godiva Chocolate chestnut filly who charms everyone she meets. Pictures of her will be seen on our website.

Gallup (Gdansk X Kasacja By Bandos), -- July 3, 1985 to January 22, 2008



It is with great sadness that Toskhara Arabians announce the passing of GALLUP (Gdansk X Kasacja by Bandos) 1985 bred by Janice Garrard and selected by her as the successor to Gdansk.

Janice always called Gallup the horse most like Gdansk. He was never given an opportunity to show because he was injured in a trailer accident as a young horse when a floor board gave way and his foot fell through to the highway while the trailer was moving. He had nasty scaring and an intense dislike of trailers from that time on.

He produced 61 foals to date (we have two more due in 2008), this is a respectable number given that he was born just as the market collapsed and continue to decline. I only personally have known one Gallup foal but he is a hell of a horse. Beautiful, talented, and willing with a dry sense of humor. I have heard other good things from owners of Gallup progeny.

Our first exposure to Gallup was in 1992 when we looking for a stallion for our mare OH MY ROMANCE (Mi Tosk X WA Silver Lace by The Real Mccoy). Christine found out about Gallup and decided to use him. They produced a lovely colt, now gelded, we named TA RODANSK. He was British National Champion Gelding in 1995, our first major win in Europe. We always had a fondness for Gallup because of his son, pictured here.

It was our honor and privilege to bring Gallup to our herd two years ago when Janice could no longer give him the opportunity she desired for him. He was happy and healthy until last August when he contracted West Nile. He had been vaccinated routinely and we started treatment immediately and he responded well. He never really lost his ability to stand or have significant paralysis. Afterwards however he didn't seem to thrive to the same degree as before. He developed laminitus in one front foot which we were struggling to control. Two days ago we found him down in his stall in the morning. We couldn't get him to stand. We then used a sling to get him on his feet. He couldn't begin to support himself. We began to treat him with the anti-paralysis drug we had used on our West Nile cases to see if he responded. For two days we waited for him to respond but he wasn't getting better he was getting worse and paralysis was beginning to effect his face. Christine made the hard decision to let him go. The vet collected some spinal fluid from the poll and saw that it was cloudy not clear. It is being examined at Texas A&M. We suspect he relapsed to West Nile.

It is always hard to say good-bye but it is made a little easier when they leave some of themselves behind.

This is TA KAISER (Gallup X Katrynna by Triton) 2007 at left with Katrynna.

CHARIZMA SLG (Zambizy X Cordelia MLA by Bikomet) and TA EUKULELE (Algonkwin X Eubia by Wermut) are in foal to Gallup for 2008.
