There is a picture of Emotsia on Cowden Arabians website. I think I have a picture of her somewhere from when she was at the Tersk Stud, will have a dig around for you
Vadeer is standing at Heritage Coast Stud, and likewise, they have a couple of good pictures of him on their site

Hi Dawn,
I don't have any photos for you I'm afraid but I do have a half-brother to your Duchy Vendetta. Almost All (Bengali d'Albret x Emotsia) is now a 9yo and has been a very successful racehorse. He is a fabulous little horse and I love him dearly. I too have searched for photos of Emotsia and only found the one that was posted on here by Cowden Arabians. Emma Maxwell once owned Emotsia (I think when she came from Tersk) and may have some photos, I really must contact her and if she has any I'll let you know.

Linda, ive read about almost all and his fab results in racing, well done. Emma did some work with Ralph when i had him as a baby and she told me about owning emotsia and how fab her movement is. I really should have let ralph (duchy vendetta) go racing as he is built and bred for it but always worried about him going lame ! How big is Almost all as ralph is 16hh and still has a little more muscling up and growing still (hes 6) but i have had a few riding challenges with cantering and enormous fly bucks ! im just trying to get my nerve back as really shook my confidence even though i have never come off him. He just wants to go forward and i think im holding him back as once he gets going hes super and working really well in the school. I have to say hes got the most fantastic temperament, very laid back and cuddly !

Goodness yes, Dawn...your 'Ralph' is most certainly bred for racing, but I understand your concern for him.
Almost All stands only about 15hh, quite stockily built, but has a heart bigger than he is, a wonderful temperament but not so big on the cuddly aspect.....enter Mum, omg cuddles arriving, rolls eyes up to heaven, grits teeth and bears it...love the bones of him
Would love to hear how you go on with your boy, and pictures are a must

Linda, i have loads of photos but for whatever reason cant get them on signature, just wont work ! I will let you know how i get on, im waiting for john conifey to come out as hes tight through the back and kneck at the moment so get him sorted and then back to riding. I had the chance to race him at four by a good friend who would have paid for everything.... but didnt do it, perhaps he could be a late starter.
Your welcome to come and see ralph if you are ever in hampshire, i also own Ibn Sappho (joshua) who is mamluk x sappho - I love the russian line and obviously favour Mamluk/Vadeer boys !

Indeed he could be a late starter with those bloodlines...go on think about it 
I will certainly take you up on your offer when I have some spare time as I would love to see Almost All's half-bro and 'Joshua' as well.
My horses are trained down in Wilshire, Almost All is down there at the moment. Although officially retired he has a job leading the youngsters for my wonderful trainer Sam and her partner Adam....he needs a job to do as he gets depressed when not racing and this is the ideal solution. Sam, Adam and myself bought a lovely 2yo filly from Ascot sales this year...Des'brie (Vadeer x Elina Des Fabries) you may like her if you favour Vadeer

Sorry Dawn, not trying to hijack your thread
Thank you David....Pub and stay over sounds fab 4 home for the Winter does somewhat put the damper on things but I'm trying to arrange a day out sometime to see Almost All's half-bro and Joshua so hopefully your offer will still stand and you'll still be there
