|  | Craiglathie Akhal- Teke Stallion Roster 2004 « Thread Started on Feb 16, 2004, 12:51pm » | |
We have recently branched out into Akhal-Tekes and Akhal-Teke Sporthorses as well. Our Akhal-Tekes are unrivalled for beauty, breeding and performance.
All stallions are impeccably bred and have extensive and impressive show records. All the stallions are proven producers as well. Stud fees are negotiable depending on the quality and breed of mare. _____________________________________________
Archimedes
BREED Akhal-Teke COLOUR: Metallic palomino GENDER: Stallion BORN: 1994 HEIGHT: 16.2 hh SIRE: Absent Without Leave DAM: The Hunter's Philosopher
POINTS HF: 615 HF Title: Champion
Elegance, dignity and grace; this amazing stallion has them all. His exceptional talents as an eventer seem to suggest that he has inherited his Great Grandsire's talent (Absent). His dam was a highly successful broodmare producing Cat. 1 Akhal-Tekes very consistenly.
Archimedes is one of the wisest stallions I have ever worked with. He is also a loyal campanion and a friend. When we compete together, we are partners and rely on each other equally. He is capable of CCI**** material without a rider on his back! His technique is flawless, his paces are smooth and flowing and has a scopey jump and unlimited stamina. He is completely able to get himself out of trouble with automatic lead changes and an instinct for picking the best angles and good going. He is a phenomenal stallion and his progeny will be unequalled eventers also.

Old School Bling
BREED: Akhal-Teke GENDER: Stallion BORN: 1997 HEIGHT: 16.3 hh COLOUR: Metallic palomino SIRE: Gindarkh 13 DAM: Zubeida
POINTS HF: 385
Old School Bling is a stunning stallion. His sire is currently holding the highest level grading of Elite given by the Internation Association of Horse Breeding. He is also currently ranked second in the USA as a purebred stallion. It is no surprise then that Old School Bling is an Elite Akhal-Teke. Great presence, classic desert horse conformation and wonderful bloodlines make this stallion a winner. Bling's great grandsire is also descended from Absent and it can be seen clearly in his natural collection, elegant movement and scopey jump.
Bling has a wonderful personality. Although still a junior stallion he is extremely sensible and dignified. Riding Bling is enetring an equal partnership and as long this is understood he will give anything his very best. Bling is being aimed towards eventing and is already showing great promise as he relishes challenges.

Old School Westside
BREED: Akhal-Teke Sporthorse GENDER: Stallion BORN: 1998 HEIGHT: 16.3 hh COLOUR: Golden bucksin SIRE: Gelishikli's Arrogance DAM: Lady Accondy
POINTS HF: 330
Westside has an impressive and impeccable progeny. His sire is a direct descendant of Gelishikli, the founder of the Gelishikli line of Akhal-Tekes. Gelishikli was awarded Elite status in 1962 and was awarded Champion of breed in 1964, a full five years before his brother Fakirpelvan was to earn the same accolade.
The line was founded to encourage the 'sportive qualities' of Akhal-Tekes. They were primarily used for racing and Gelishikli was the first stud to be used to sire horses to be aimed towards Olympic events such as eventing. Although not a spectacular racehorse, Gelishikli was known for excellent gaits which leant themselves to more classical forms of equitation. The descendants of this amazing stallion are known for their superb temperements, fluid movements and the 'hooded eye' so prized in the Akhal-Teke.
Westside's dam in the daughter of Accondy, a premium Throughbred stallion out of Sadler's Wells. Accondy is has an extremely impressive show record including notably the Henry Tudor Challenge Cup and Supreme Champion at the Royal Dublin Horse Show. He is also the only Thoroughbred stallion to be awarded suitable for breeding by the Great Britain Honoverian Association.
Westside has definitely inherited the best of both his sire and dam. He has outstanding athletic movement, superb elevation, elgance, quality and preserve. He is extremely well-tempered and very willing to please. Westside is definitely a champion in the making and we cannot wait to show off the true potential of this amazing young stallion
