Habib’s sire, Gayaz

Studfarm Shael stands some of the best Akhal-Teke stallions in the world.
We are fortunate to have Habib Shael, out of their great stallion Gayaz!

Habib’s Dam, AYKHANUM

Studfarm Shael was formed using magnificent mares of the Dagestan Horse-Breeding Centre that were chosen on V.P. Shamborant’s recommendation. One of these foundation mares is Ajkhanum. Habib is her last foal.

Introducing Habib to Canada!!

Habib Shael/Хабиб: Perlino, 2004 (Gayaz – Aykhanum), line Posman, family Fantazia, 159 cm.

Habib waiting in Moscow…

Here are some photos that Nadja took of Habib playing in the paddock.

Potential Breeding Program Plans

We have listed our proposed breedings. Watch for some amazing foals coming for sale in 2008!!

Introducing for stud: Habib Shael

Habib Shael is coming to Canada from the Vladimir Shamborant Studfarm!
Wish us luck that our new stud arrives safe and sound.

The Importance of Dam Lines in Breeding

Not only does the mare give 50% of her DNA to the foals, genetic lines are traced through the female line. There are also certain performance elements that are passed down through the mares…

Darginka is now being bred to Salam!

Last minute change!! We decided to breed Darginka to Salam for more type and height. I like Metman for his jumping ability, and we may try him next year…

Studs for Pagoda

Here is an introduction about Pagoda and some information about this years breeding choices…

Metman for Darginka!

We have chosen Metman from Freedom Run Farms as our stud for this year. We feel that Metman’s proven athleticism will produce the best sport foal from Darginka.

Sire lines

traditional sire lines: Ak Belek, Ak-Sakal, Arab, Dor Bairam, El, Everdy-Teleke, Fakir Pelvan, Gelishikli, Karlavach, Kir Sakar, Kaplan, Mele Kush, Peren, Posman, Sere, Skak, Toporbai

Stallions

The quest is on to find a stud for Darginka. My top choices so far are Shayol, Salam and Metman…

Golden Horses

I had to look up equine coat colour genetics to find out the chances of what colour mares would throw when matched to Habib, whom we think is a perlino but may be a cremello.
