I would consider the very beautiful Indian King to be very influential as he features hugely in our breeding through our stallion Tarib,Indian king being his G G grandfather, through the eternally beautiful Crystal Magician Tarib's grandfather,this is on a personal level of course.
I would also like to add he was the grandfather of the wonderful Dancing Queen. |

| Ludo is another stallion of influence he has such descendants as Donax,Ahmoun and Ludovici the dam of Blue Lucius (Puff to his friends!)And it also ties our breeding in as Ghibli was by ludo out of Yasmina, Tarib's sire. |

| Ok how about Ralvon Pilgrim?Grandsire of the awesome Ralvon Elijah,i think he made a contribution certainly in the last 20 years ,through Elijah's stock i think Elijah himself was a horse ahead of his time but he certainly made an impression on us here in the UK in the early 80's. |

El Shaklan as made such a impact,Reading this thread we have eight
female Arabians, Six are El Shaklan related within three generations
and a few are multiple El Shaklans on both sire and dam lines,
And we are breeding next year to two of his sons,One of our non related females is already in foal to a GG/Grandson and the other we will covered by a relation,
No bloodline is perfect one of the main reasons we like this bloodline is temprement,and the ability to light up in the showring
Angels with a "engine"
No doubt fashion will come and go but we think El Shaklan will survive the test of time

I agree with you Nick and he has to be one of the all time greats for prepotency, do you think you can have too many lines to him though? just an interested question? ( I also have him several times in some of my pedigrees)!
anymore suggestions folks? |

Linda we have often talked about to much El Shaklan but come back to the same answer they suit us
We have Egyptian/Spanish/Polish and our favourite ingrediant Crabbet
but no Russian but a case could be made for Russians being recycled
Crabbet,
We like Straight Egyptian sires but have no favourite horse or bloodline,But like all the Dam lines to be good,Great Stallions
tend to have great mothers,and that is a big part in our selection process
Fashion does come and go,and many great Stallions are not used enough as they fall out of the public eye many chosing to pick current show champions instead of the old boys many with proven stock
Dig deep to your homework we are using two horses in their twenties next year as well as a very young Stallion
We have never bred to many maybe we have been to conservative but finding homes is so hardThis as curtailed our efforts in hindsight we should have bred more we only wish there was more "grass roots"
breeders to sell our stock to but modern day showing is moving away from breeding buying and instant gratification seems more of the order of the day,
Bob thanks for the photo,(My photo in the online magazine in the pink jumper catching Zeezeetop may become a "classic"

Hi Bob,
I agree with Mesaoud, but he was born 115 years ago so I don't know if he is too old
I don't think we can omit Nazeer when discussing influential sires - through Aswan in Russia, Hadban Enzahi, Galal and Kaisoon in Germany, Alaa El Din, Ansata Ibn Halima and Morafic in the States and many many more. His influence has been and is enormous and even if one can feel that many breeders have used his bloodlines to the exclusion of anything else, there is no denying his influence.
Skowronek also deserves mention as he has been hugely influential with descendants all over the world. He really was immensely important to the breed.
Anne
El Shaklan
Skowronek
Nazeer
Negatiw - a Skowronek grandson through Naseem and a gggrandson of Mesaoud through the dam of his sire
BTW, Indian King traced 6 times to Mesaoud and was a gggrandson of Skowronek through his dam Indian Pride. |

| Silver Vanity? Born 1950,very influential i'd say with sons such as Hanif,G daughters such as Zarafah,Silver Indrette grandsons Silver Flame G G G grandaughter Azeme Bint Gleam,through which the lovely horses of Gillian Lancaster's Aboud and the wonderful Aureme and Star of The seasons are bred. |

| I need you to cast your nets out farther, worldwide, and as far back or as near as you like, problem with near is the mark of a good stallion is his prepotency to mark himself through his sons And daughters down the generations and horses of today dont have the time yet, although it has to be said Padron psyche, ali Jammal, Halim Shah, and the british bred Carmargue have to be the front runners in leaving their mark, any more suggestions ? |

Kasmeyn aka Kazmeen can be found in many, many pedigrees today, SE and Crabbet alike Perhaps Mike can tell us more about him?

What you are doing is setting seeds to no ware  How do you decide if your stallion is the base of a family Could the Grandfather or the Grandmother be the real Stars of this SHOW Too many people are too willing to express their opinions even if they are guessing. If I may, I would like to take you all back to the DESERT
Maybe, just Maybe THEY are the BIG STARS OF THIS SHOW
What do "U" THINK

Bob

| Crystal balls needed for this!!!! Can I ask: in a 100 years time which of the present day stallions will be considered influential?????? I ask this thinking of the UK in particular because to me there seems to be alot of stallions around but VERY few sire enough foals to give them a chance of being influential... |

Marilyn, isn't there a possibility of current 'fashionable' stallions, which may be used for breeding very widely for a couple of years, being forgotten in spite of their prolific use?
I haven't been involved with breeding as such but I have seen several fashions come and go and among those who want to buy, the 'best' names of three of four years ago seem less desirable and wanted than the new 'best' names...
The old ones people have recorded on this section of the Lines seem to have been proved over longer than a season or two in the show ring... |

The way that I see it, the answer to Marilyn's question is a rather depressing "None of them!" Not, I hasten to add the fault of the horses per se, but of a complete lack of any sort of long term breeding programme! The thinking seems to go no further than "let's get some pretty foals on the ground" and then stop! "Breeding for the showring" is a non-starter, particularly so far as the long term viability and good of the breed is concerned. And if you are not one of the very few "trendsetters" how far is one likely to succeed with at best "last years model"?
