Studs

The quest is on to find a stud for Darginka. In my search I came across pictures of Gasyr Shael at the Vladimir Shamborant Studfarm (see above).

I find him just stunning and it looks like he has lots of character as well. However, the breeders don’t agree with artificial insemination so to breed to him we would have to bring Darginka to Russia. Oh well, he sure is grand! Maybe I’ll be able to get one of his foals.

Here are my favourites so far:

1. SHAYOL:

Shayol is considered one of the most typical representatives of line Everdy Teleke in the world and I think it would be a neat cross. Plus Shayol is 166 cm (16.3 hh) tall.
Notes: born 2000; Godzar x Kim; Everdy Teleke line; type: 8.0, conformation: 7.5; measurements:.5; class elite; breeder: Туркменистан (Turkmenistan), owner: LTD ”Akhalt-service”

2. SALAM

Salam is graded as elite and is currently training for jumping. He is tall and looks like a strong and athletic stud.

3. METMAN

Metman is very athletic and accoomplished in show jumping as well as endurance. He is a recommendation from Nadja of studfarm “Akhalt-service”. Metman is a successful stud and considered to be an improver sire, as he throws get better than himself. His only down side is that he is only 15.3 hh.
