Of course you are all right, but I still need an input of your thoughts on the most prolific of stallions, so keep it coming believe me there is a reason |

My choice of stallion for his world wide influence through his sons and daughters has already been given by Anne, but thought I would add him anyway he is Naseem.

The stallion Ofir (Kuhailan Haifi x Dziva)should also be on the list. Bred by Janów Podlaski. Imp. from Poland to Russia 1939; Race Record: 1/5 (2-1-2). His 1st foal crop included Wyrwidab Witraz, Witez II, Wielki Szlem, Wilga, & Wierna. His three most famous sons were Witraz, Wielki Szlem Wyrwidab (Wind)and Witez II .
Also the stallion Nabeg (Arax x Nomenklatura) should be on the list. Sire of stallions such as Nariadni, Menes, Nadejni, Neman, Peleng, Pesniar and Princip. The list goes on and on.

all i can say is that all my horses have the greatest crabbet stallions. the more i research the more they cross to skoronek, indian king and silver vanity. spider has el shaklan of course, but who is to say what would go on to be concidered influential from our times.
i'm affraid that i wouldn't use most of the so called fashionable stallions on my mares. i think that fashion blinds people to the real horse in front of them and the stock that they actually produce. i agree with mike that most people no longer stick to long term plans any more. but then i think that money has alot to do with that, or rather the lack of it. everything costs so much more these days, yet it seems easier to have a horse and easier still to breed from it. this has resulted in far to many horses on the market makeing it harder to sell the best quality horses for their true value.
in the days of the blunts it was easier to stick to breeding as there were to few arabs and many people wanting to buy them. most of the horses that are producing loads of foals for a couple of years (for it's fashion) will soon be left behind. those hwo sit quietly at home breeding great quality but in small ammounts will hopefully be the shining stars in the future. after all it only takes one great click between 2 horses to make a dinesty. |

| i agree with you Suzanne! look at the horses in your signiture they are lovely, the problem with me is long term breeding Is the way to go but I dont have the time, I have been breeding for about 15 years yet I am only just starting my second generation programme! I am 60 now so will not be around to see my dreams come to fruition, I wish I had been in the enviable position that some have, starting young and with enough money to see them through, oh well mustn't grumble I have been luckier than most, my stallion has all the lines I so admire, he is beautiful beyond words and he lives with me ! how lucky can one person get! |

| Would anyone like to contribute to the Arabianlines magazine. We would really like to have articles on stallions and mares of yester-year, and there seem to be many highly knowledgeable folk here. |

For me I think Aswan is the most influential stallion of the last 100 years personally. He is in the pedigrees of many top race and show horses - Karat being his most recent relative to achieve considerable success. He's also the sire of Klarnet who sired several decent race winners notably the superb Silvena as well as Champion race broodmare Cikada.
Others that spring to mind is Mikeno, Indian Magic and Blue Domino on the Crabbet side as they are a strong influence in both showing, endurance and racing pedigrees.
Polish wise Nabeg has had a great influence in both the showing and performance fields.

Worldwide - I can't find enough reasons to place any stallion over and above Nazeer - although a valid argument could be put forward for Skowronek.
Nazeer's most important triumvirate of sons have dominated successful sirelines all round the world.
Morafic - is the tail male sire line of Ruminaja Ali who has Thee Desperado, Ali Jamaal and Gazal al Shaqab in his descendents.
The Egyptian Prince - Prince Fa Moniet - Ansata Sinan
Shaker el Masri - El Shaklan etc.
both European Champion sporthorse horse and reserve for 2004 were both Morafic descended stallions through Sinan and Shaker el Masri.
Ansata Ibn Halima - Ansata Halim Shah - Salaa el Dine - Ashhal al Rayyan - Al Adeed al Shaqab etc
Ansata Imperial - Imperial Imdal - etc
Aswan - Palas
Patron - Padron - Padron's Psyche, etc
And then some 'less ' important sons Hadban Enzahi / Kaisoon / Talal. Even Ralvon Elijah belonged to the Nazeer sireline through Talal.
We once owned a mare whose every great grandsire was Nazeer - I cannot imagine having a normal horse with this degree of linebreeding to any other stallion. In fact I think the last stallion this kind of linebreeding existed to was Skowronek.
So my vote is Nazeer - he has an interestuinf life story too being rescued from obscurity and partbred breeding at the age of 16 or 17. |
