Twiggy is a Part
Bred Arab by Shamil. She is standing about 14.2hh at the
minute and is a super moving pony bred by Tina Bennett of
Aklah Arabians. Tina showed her as a yearling and she
gained a reserve champion part bred arab at a Arab Group
Show.
We presented
her at the SPSS grading and show in October 2006
and she has now graded with a score of
73.5% into the preliminary stud book, due to incomplete
breeding, of the SPSS and gained a 2nd Premium at the
show.
She has produced a
lovely filly foal 2007 by our own stallion Thistledown
Copper Lustre - "Harry" and we have called her
"Bridget". We were so pleased with her we have covered
her again with Harry for 2008, unfortunately December 2007 we
were saddened with the loss of this lovely
mare.
Bridget, her only foal,
is left to live up to her mum's superb temperament and follow
on to give her mum something to be very proud of.
Bridget has already proved to be successful in the show ring,
gaining a First Premium, and Reserve Pony Foal at the
B.E.F. Futurity Scheme, held at Arena UK also gaining Twiggy a
Broodmare Diploma Award for her foal. She has also
gained good results at her first two foal shows, we look
forward to presenting her at the 2008 Yearling
Classes.

A little about Twiggys
Sire Shamil.....
Shamil is an elegant, handsome stallion
with fine movements. As a foal he was awarded the Reserve
Champion sash at the International "B" Show in Kreuth,
Germany. His sire SHIR KHAN, was champion at the international
"B" Shows in Ostende, Belgium, Reserve Champion in Menton,
France and achieved wins and high placings at the All Nations
Cup in Aachen an at the World Championships in Paris. SHIR
KAHN is by the famous World, European and National Champion
KUBINEC. SHIR KHAN is a full brother to the supreme stallion
DAVIDOFF (International Champion Stallion, exceptional riding
horse) and TIBET (outstanding dressage stallion).
SHAMIL's dam is the excellent Spanish
mare KAR HACINA, a daughter of the exceptional sire EL
PERFECTO, she gained Championship honours at the shows Moos,
Germany and Marbach, Germany, won her class at the European
Championships, and achieved a third place at the All Nations
Cup in Aachen, Germany. KAR HACINA is the image of her dam,
the Nations Cup reserve and international mare GUAL

With the blood of generations of champions in his veins,
SHAMIL is predestined for a great career as a show horse and
breeding stallion.
