Darginka

Darginka was bred by Tito Pontecorvo, who is known for breeding classic sporthorses. Darginka’s sire is the famous Gigant (Gektor x Akbella), Gelishikli line, and her dam is Darpa (Pahlivan x Dojgurgush), Arab line. She is approved for breeding by VNIIK.

Darginka is a calm and responsive horse who takes care of her rider. She placed 6th in BC in endurance in her second year of riding as she won many rides between 25-35 miles (mostly because of her quick recoveries and low hear rate).

Darginka loves jumping and she has just started in professional training with Meghan Parlee out of Riverside Stables in Richmond, BC. She is being prepared for showing at 3’6″ this spring (photo below is Meghan jumping her at 3’6″).

Darginka absolutely loves field hunting, and she is fast and sensible! She has also been in parades with children riding her and she isn’t phased by all the commotion.

More information about Darginka is available on her blog postings and and check out all her photos on Flickr!

and check out her beautiful full sister Daga, 2008 US champion mare (SANA & ATSA):

Darginka is built similar to her sire. She is a big, powerful mare of plain type. Although Darginka is of line Gelishikli, she is more directly influenced by lines of Dor Bairam and Kir Sakar.

From Turanian horse:
44 Dor Bairam is another Chopar Kel line stallion this time with a maternal connection to 2a Boinou and Kutli Sakar. He was of excellent size for his time and powerfully muscled, although he did have what the Russians call a “fleshy back.”

Dor Bairam was extensively bred in Turkmenistan, but most of his sons were sold to Kazakhstan to be used in breeding programs there. Like Kir Sakar, Dor Bairam turned out to be an exceptional broodmare sire.

From Akhal Stud:
The characteristics of the line are the purity, the very marked old standard, solid health making them suited to the endurance and the trec.
