A breeding with the listening of the international market 2002

The breeding of the Arab thoroughbred -(arabian horse)- in Europe is beginning to be noticed more and more on the international scene. European breeders have done research work throughout the world so as to regenerate their breeding and numerous horses, imported from Bresil, have made their entry on the European soil.

We shall just mention here Bint Shaklina exported to England, who has had a phenomenal racing season winning the title of Champion of the Nations'Cup and World Elite, along with Laman HVP, a young national champion from Bresil who is now coming up in Germany at Sax-Arabians. There are also numerous other subjects who are going to help European breeding evolve which is not failing to get itself noticed.

In the U.S.A., it was first of all ZT Shakfantasy Triple Crown Champion in Europe who began in 2000 by winning the prestigious Scottsdale race and this year it was the turn of the great European Champion FS Bengali to distinguish himself in the same race, becoming the great Champion. We already know that another French stallion, last year's vice-Champion of Europe, is going to make his entry on American soil.

Europe exports to the U.S.A., but there is an unbeatable American stallion who is making his mark forever on European and World breeding. This is the National Champion of the U.S.A., Magnum Psyche, an offspring of the legendary Padrons Psyche and a mare of spanish origin. In the U.S.A. in 2001, his young offsprings won 149 victories !! But his products are also successful in Europe as junior vice-Champion of Europe and the World in 2001. Ce Magnum , belonging to -and bred by- the excellent Swatam Arabians Stable in Belgium, made a lightening ascension last year when only one year old. A splendid young horse on whom it will be necessary to count for European breeding. Another son of Magnum Psyche in Europe and no less successful is WH Justice. In the top-ten at Scottsdale in the U.S.A., National Vice-Champion in Italy and World Elite in 2001. A fascinating young stallion, of a rare and extreme kind, belonging to Equid System Ltd. in Italy. WH Justice sired this year for the first time with mares of renown in Europe and he represents today one of the most exotic stallions in Europe and he is really catching attention.

We will also mention Marissa Rose, a young filly of Magnum Psyche, who was in the World Elite in 2001 at the age of one year.

An effervescence and world dynamism is really being felt in the European market around the Arab thoroughbred, which is offering us, thanks to the work and enthusiasm of certain breeders, more and more beautiful and fascinating subjects. The Arabian Horse is being given a new dimension, the dream is becoming absolute and the market flourishes.
