You are about right Stewart, I read £100, but I suppose the exchange rate at the time might have had something to do with the price! so another 5 points for you ! hope your keeping score ! |

Since I believe that I should have set a question last week! Here is one to make you think a bit!
What is significant/unusual about the mare Nigra-Zscheiplitz 1918 (Mazud X Nigra II)??? Her son Ahmet 1922(by the desertbred Ali) stood at Weil in Germany and was by all accounts a very beautiful, typey and refined horse

Is this what you want to know, Mike
Descendants of the pre-war mare Nigra Zscheiplitz, originally classified as purebred, but later eliminated because
of non-Arabian elements.

| Was it that she was originally declared purebred but then it was decided she wasn't |

Yes, she and all her descendants were re-registered as Shagya's by the German Authorities as she had one impure ancestor seven generations back(making her significantly purer than the many of her contempories! ) But that isn't what makes her unique as such. Compare her pedigree with that of the 1999 World Champion mare Victoria II and see what you find!

For those with a full set of stud books, it might also be worth a look at Dejen bay stallion 1920(Rukham X Haram), off the top of my head, I think he's in AHSB Vol III

| Not sure if you're getting at the fact VictoriaII & Nigra Zscheiplitz both have lines, albeit as far as I have managed to look as time is running out and my 4 legged friends want in, to horses called Amurath Bairactar and on Victoria II she has Amurath Bairactar II whose dam is Mahmoud Mirza b 1870 ANGLO ARABIAN TB and as Nigra-Zscheiplitz was classed as not pure due to an "impure ancestor".....the same as Victoria? |

The answer was close enough, I think! Nigra-Zscheiplitz was de-registered for having a line to the TB mare 30-Maria, a line she shares with both Victoria II and Dejen both being registered pure-breds. Were Nigra-Zscheiplitz alive today she would have no registration problems at all! Amurath Bairactar was I believe undoubtedly asil.
This is a tale full of irony, had Ahmet not been so highly strung no-one would have ever questioned his purity. Had he been standing at any other studfarm then his purity wouldn't have been an issue anyway and I am pretty sure that no other studfarm would have unilaterally de-registered a large part of their herd. Ahmet(a grey) was a very superior sire, stamping his stock with his own very elegant and distinctive type, if this is beginning to sound rather familiar, then at the same time there was another Eastern European bred grey stallion also with a desertbred sire(and whose purity would also later be questioned) making a name for himself in England. Ahmet was the only son of the desertbred Ali to breed on and so the bloodline is now lost for ever.
