Hi Carla, yes I'm afraid so, and she was a real sweetheart, always ready for a cuddle and going through pockets for polos or carrots.
Spoke to the solicitor today, seems something is geting sorted at last, the 'invaders' insurance company have instructed a loss adjuster, this after not replying to any letters for two months! I'll keep you updated.

Seriously hope you get some sort of compensation Rosy, I know your girl was probably worth more than any money you will receive, but hopefully the idiots responsible will be severely reprimanded for their stupid act.
Carla, xx. |

Hi, I think it realy depends on thier breeding, colour of parents etc., mine was grey when I got her as a 2yr old as in the photos, so it's probably a case of wait and see
azzi looks really good |

Azzi looks lovely barbie, have you got any photos of him at age 7? Is he fleabitten or dapple?
One of my mares started her life a very startling shade of pink, she is now heavily fleabitten at age 9. Another mare I have was a very attractive black babe, she then went through a horrible pooey colour stage for 4 years, then the most wonderful "rocking horse" dapple colour, now she is slightly dappled, slightly fleabitten but with a dark mane and tail, she is now 10 and will no doubt change colour again!!! - their colouring never ceases to amaze me!!!

Going back to eyes of the Spanish, this horse has one line of Spanish through Estopa, 
minnie had no Spanish in her yet had the biggest most beautiful eyes I ever saw, are eyes in the eye of the beholder ?

| Lynda,I really don't know what it is about the Spanish eyes, there is just "something" It's not really about size either, I think it's more to do with the softness and depth, some you feel you could almost drown in. I do agree with you about minnie's eyes though, wonderful |

Not only were Minnie's eyes beautiful Lynda, the rest of her was pretty special too. Bambooki - definitely has the eye's, deep pools of love!!!
Azzi is the same colour as my mare at 7 yrs, as I said before, she is now a mixture of dapple and fleabites at age 10!!! Not only is he hansome, he also looks like a clever lad, what do you do with him (sorry for being nosey)??

| Azz did a bit in hand including 2yr old class winner at the gelding champs, was difficult to break but went on well given some time, have done a few pleasure rides and hack about quite a bit, had him broken to harness, again he is difficult and we are taking our time 1 stepp forward 2 back ,3 forward, when he is out driving he is superb, but tacking up and setting to is not easy, we will get there in the end, so am just hacking at the moment, he is clever that is part of the problem he has whilst settling to work. |

Hi Lynda,
Bambooki looks great, very similar to El Perfecto.
I was looking at the pedigrees, they, like my mare have either Galero or Jacio, Congo, Tabal in them, also if you look at the Galatife photo, it's those eyes again! |

I read with interest being the owner of both a straight Spanish Stallion and also a straight Egyptian stallion . I also own a straight Spanish mare imported last year and infoal to my boy for next year . There are very few good Straight Spanish mares in the UK today which is a crying shame as the bloodlines are so very versatile . Personally I think it is important for anyone with a straight Spanish mare to try and breed to a straight Spanish in order to keep these precious lines going , this is not to say don't cross with the Egyptian at a later stage . I personally beleive that the lack of good Spanish females is the reason why the El Shaklan golden cross look is not happening .

I totally agree, there are certainly far too few good Straight Spanish mares around, if I had the chance of a good one (and the money)! I would have one tomorrow, tell me where there is a good one for sale at a reasonable price PLEASE!!!

I also totally agree Chris, some good "straight" mares (spanish and also english/crabbet) are very rare and worth their weight in gold, they are real "treasures", unfortunately ecomonics and politics limit the owners of these treasures from either selling or utilising the breeding possibility to their full potential. Also advertising and marketing adds to the overall cost of a future "superstar".
Some people appear to be following fashion instead of going back to the source of a great horse, and breed accordingly. Yes, we need to go forward, but we also need to recognise what has been important in the past. Also there are many people who SEE how important these horses are/were and will stick to their ideal, regardless of fashion.
 will now get off my soapbox and answer Nikki's question - sorry!!! The boy will hopefully have 3 foals due next year - a visiting mare, mainly Russian breeding (covering fee going to the Breast Cancer Research charity) has been scanned in foal today, the owner intends to keep. My home-bred 10yo bay maiden mare 75% English/25% Eqyptian returned on Wednesday so is "pleasuring" the stallion again (I reckon she enjoys the deed too much!!!), resulting foal (fingers crossed) is already sold but I might have to fight the prospective buyer for ownership!!!. Maggie, my 50/50 English/Egyptian is due to be scanned next Tuesday, unless she returns. She has already had two foals by him, one of each sex, they were both sold but still reside here, because I love them too much!!!
Barbie, you are doing a great job with Azzi, some treasures just need some time to mature, but when they do - WOW!!! I could tell you the story of how (occaisionally) difficult my little mares are but it would take forever
Carla, xx. |

Sorry, Paula, only just got back to this topic. Khalli most definitely is a "golden cross". In fact the purists say that the true golden cross is a straight Egyptian stallion over a straight Spanish mare (as was EL Shaklan) and that is what Khalli is so very precious. My stallion Spanish Crusader (Sultan to his friends) is also the true golend cross being by Crusader out of Khalli's dam.
Hope your new yard is working out OK.
Regards
Barbara |

Barbara, you may be interested to know - my little mare was by a Shahin son out of a Straight Spanish mare, so very special to me, as the "purists" say, a true Golden Cross.
How are your Shahin daugters |

Hi Rosyw
My Shahin daughters are fine. The one I bought to send to Ansata Qasim reabsorbed but I liked Qasim so much when I saw him that I took the other two as well. They both had foals, a colt and a filly, and as Qasim was still here last year the mare went back. She stayed to be scanned at 30 days and was fine so came home and reabsorbed again so a lot of money down the drain. Don't know what to do with her now; she was sold as an easy breeder with no problems!!!!
I am sure your mare is lovely. Who is her sire? I know there is a Shahin son in England, can't think of his name off the top of my head, I saw him at the Egyptian Event. Shahin sired some lovely stock for Penny.

Just for fun, this is the mare I had before Rima, her name is Amira Sennari, she was by Ak El Sennari out of a Spanish mare, Salvora. She was the most amazing horse.
By the way, we didn't hack out like that as standard, it was a fancy dress ride We did go to the village pub in our costume though - raised a few eyebrows
(PS. RosyW - I believe Gerald Watson has a Straight Spansih filly for sale! Not advertising as I don't even know him, I just keep drooling over the sales page of his website!) |
