Palanga 2002
The grey Pure Polish mare Palanga was born in Spring 2002 to dam Panika. Panika was by Eukaliptus who was known for siring excellent broodmares. The Eukaliptus grand-daughter traces to Porfira, a mare bred in Tersk, Russia whose grand dam was Taraszcza. Taraszcza originally came from Janow Podlaski and was captured and brought to Tersk during WW II where she founded her own family. Porfira was acquired by Michalow Stud in 1958 where she foaled Pardwa who is the dam of Pliszka, the grand dam of Panika.
Besides being a broodmare, Panika was also a reasonable halter show mare. She was awarded Polish National and All Nations Cup Senior Reserve Champion Mare and she was World Senior Top Ten Mare in Paris in 2006.
Palanga's sire was the legendary Ekstern who was bred by the Michalow Stud. He is a highly decorated show horse and has won numerous awards in both national and international competitions. World Senior Champion Stallion Ekstern is known for his exceptional conformation, movement, and presence in the show ring, and he is considered to be a valuable breeding stallion for the Polish Arabian breed. Besides Palanga, he sired many outstanding national and international champions including Esparto, Celsjusz, Wilha, Altamira, Wilga, Sefora, Gilly J and many more.
Being a product of these two show horses, Palanga has also had success in the halter show ring. She was European Champion Filly in 2003, European Reserve Champion Mare 2006 and Polish Gold Champion Mare in 2021.
As a broodmare she has produced 17 registered foals (some of them by embryo transfer), among them is US and Canadian National Top Ten Stallion Pavorotto KA and Belgium National Gold Senior Champion Stallion Profender KA
Maaza
Maaza, a bay rabicano mare, was born at Marbach State Stud in 2000. She carries an exceptional lineage, deeply rooted in the finest Egyptian Arabian bloodlines.
Her sire, Serenity Habib, was bred by the renowned Serenity Arabians in the United States. Embodying the classic traits of the Egyptian Arabian, he was known for his elegant conformation, expressive eyes, and exotic type. A son of Khofo, Serenity Habib traced his heritage to El Zahraa, Egypt. Khofo, imported by Douglas Marshall, became an influential sire at Marbach, where he produced outstanding daughters. Among them were Maaza, Dukna, and Moraira, all of whom were retained as broodmares at the German State Stud.
Maaza’s dam, Maslama, was sired by Marbach’s distinguished stallion Moneef. A Straight Egyptian, Moneef was the son of the legendary Hadban Enzahi, out of Mobeba II by Ghazal. Hadban Enzahi, himself a product of El Zahraa Stud in Cairo, was imported to Marbach in 1955 and went on to become an outstanding sire.
Maslama’s lineage traces back to Moheba, foundation mare of Marbach’s prestigious 'M' line. Moheba, a bay Dahmah Shahwaniah by Sid Abouhom, was imported from El Zahraa and was a maternal half-sister to the legendary Ansata Ibn Halima, the foundation sire of Ansata Arabians in the United States.
Maaza proved to be a valuable broodmare at Marbach, producing nine colts and two fillies. Among her offspring, her firstborn son, Musab, a bay stallion by NK Bolbol born in 2005, was selected as a chief sire for the stud.
Now retired, Maaza leaves behind a lasting legacy, cementing her place in Marbach’s storied breeding program.
Eksterna
Eksterna was sired by Ekstern. Ekstern was a legendary Polish Arabian stallion who left an indelible mark on the breed. He was sired by Monogramm, an influential sire born at Patterson Arabians in the United States. Monogramm was sired by Negatraz and was out of Monogramma, a Knippel daughter, making him a key contributor to the modern Arabian breed.
Ekstern was one of the most proven sires at Michalów Stud, producing exceptionally beautiful daughters known for their type, movement, and refinement. Aside from his success as a sire, he also had a remarkable show career. He was crowned Polish National Champion both as a Junior and Senior stallion, demonstrating his outstanding conformation and Arabian type. In 2000, Ekstern achieved the prestigious Triple Crown title by winning the All Nations Cup, the European Championships, and the World Championships—a feat that cemented his reputation as one of the finest Arabian stallions of his time. His exceptional charisma, powerful movement, and perfect Arabian type made him a standout in the show ring and a valuable sire for future generations.
Eksterna's dam was Emanta. Emanta was born at Michalów Stud and was later sold to Falbroek Arabians in Poland for $70,000. The grey mare Emanta traced back to the treasured Michalów E-family of Emigracja, one of the most influential dam lines in Polish breeding history. Emanta's dam was Emanacja, the second-born daughter of Emigracja and one of seven full sisters by the legendary Eukaliptus. Emanacja herself was named Polish National Champion Mare in 1999 and later became the dam of World Champion Mare Emanda and US National Champion Stallion Emanor, adding to the prestige of this celebrated lineage.
Emanta proved to be a highly productive broodmare, producing ten foals—six colts and four fillies. Eksterna was her first born daughter at Falbroek Arabians. (Emanta produced one filly and three colts for Michalow before sold to Falbroek Arabians) and is widely regarded as the most beautiful and well-known of Emanta's offspring. She was shown at the Polish Nationals in 1999, where she earned the title of Silver Champion Mare, showcasing her quality and strong pedigree.
Beyond her show career, Eksterna became a valuable broodmare at Falbroek Stud. One of her most notable offspring was the grey WH Justice son, Empower, who later became Polish National Gold Senior Champion Stallion in 2020. Eksterna produced her final foal for Falbroek Arabians in 2019, a filly by Eden C, before being sold to Al Jood Stud. There, she continued her role as a broodmare, giving birth to a filly by BV Unik in 2022 and a colt by D Wannas in 2023, further contributing to the legacy of her exceptional bloodlines.
Leopard
The famous General Grant visited the Sultan of Turkey in March 1878. The Sultan Abdul Hamid II was a great admirer of the general and offered him a horse from his stables. General Grant was impressed by a stallion that was given to the Sultan by the Turkish governor who acquired him from the Anazeh Bedouins. This dapple-grey, five-years old stallion went by the Turkish name of Djeytan but was then renamed to Leopard.
Leopard was shipped to the United States where he arrived in New Haven, Conn. in May 1879 with another Arabian stallion named Linden Tree.
According to different sources, Leopard was either of more or of less quality than Linden Tree. This dapple-grey stallion excelled by having a long neck and a nicely built shoulder. His trot was impressive with good knee action and a lot of hock flexion. He was 14.75 hands high but appears bigger. Besides his good points, Leopard lacked at his hindquarters which could be better. He had a rather sloping croup, soft pasterns and poor feet.
General Grant did not show much interest in his two stallions. He gave both to Rudolph Huntington who used Leopard on his Clay Trotters to add nobility and trotting action. The resulting products, Huntington called Clay-Arabs which became one of the foundation breeds of the modern Standardbred.
Through Leopard, Huntington became interested in purebred Arabian horses. Unfortunately, no purebred mare was within his reach. So, Rudolph Huntington imported the mare Naomi (Yataghan x Haidee) from England.
Naomi was bred to Leopard resulting in the colt Anazeh born in 1890. He stayed the only purebred foal by Leopard. Anazeh was the earliest born and registered American Purebred in the Arabian horse Club Registry of America.
Anazeh sired four registered sons, of which only Naaman (x Nazli) sired purebred foals. His only son Naaman II produced no foals and the sire-line of Leopard died out with him.
The line to Leopard only lives on through the three daughters by Anazeh, in particular through Narkeesa (x Naomi). Narkeesa produced the stallions Araby (by Hamrah), Leucosia (by Haleb), El Sabok, El Sakab and the mare Leila (all by El Jafil). Leila was used as broodmare at the Kellogg Stud. From Narkeesa's sons El Sabok is the most important. He sired the stallion Stambul who is the sire of Alla Amarward.
In 1894, Leopard was acquired by General Colby of Beatrice, Nebraska and was rejoined with Linden Tree who was sold six years earlier to the general.
The exact date of death of Leopard is not known.
Malik B
In 1996, a flashy chestnut colt was born to 222 Ibn Galal I, a chestnut Straight Egyptian broodmare at Babolna. She traces to the Egyptian imported Momtaza (or 8 Momtaza in Babolna). Her sire was Ibn Galal I, a son by the famous Galal I (or Magdi) -full-brother to El Mokthar- who produced in Babolna as well as in Germany.
The flashy chestnut colt was named Malik B. He's a son by European and World Champion Stallion Kubinec who was bred at Tersk Stud and imported to the Netherlands and sold at the Kossack Stud Sale to Osterhof Stud, Germany which owned him for the rest of his life. Kubinec sired many Halter Champions like FS Bengali, El Nabila B or Koronec - just to name a few. He died in shortly before Christmas 2012 at the age of 25.
With his blaze and 4 white legs, Malik B resembles Kubinec but with the Egyptian 'glaze' of his dam. After winning Junior Colt Championships at the International Show at Wels, Austria (beating the Balaton son Narym), he's started his breeding career at Babolna State stud stepping into the hoofprints of his famous sire Kubinec.
Rose of Jericho
The mare Rose of Jericho was a blood-bay daughter by Kars. Kars was a bay Saklawi Jedran. He was bred by Ibn Subayni of the Mhayd-Fidan who sold him as a three years old to the Kurdish Chief Mahmud Aga, a Kurdish Chief. Kars was ridden in the campaign of Kars (hence his name) where nearly every other horse perished. When Wilfried and Anne Blunt traveled Aleppo in January 1878, they acquired him by Mahmud Aga for their Crabbet Park in England.
Rose of Jericho's dam was the legendary war mare Rodania, a bay Koheilah Adjuze Ibn Rodan. The Blunts purchased her from Tais Ibn Shaarban-Gomussa and sent her to England in 1881. At the Blunts' Crabbet Park stud she produced 3 fillies and 2 colts. Although Rodania produced only 5 foals her line is more than vital today, especially through Rose of Jericho's chestnut half-sister Rose of Sharon by Hadban.
Rose of Jericho was used along with her sisters as a Crabbet Park broodmare. She was bred to the desert import Rataplan producing a colt and a filly by the name of Rose of Dawn. Rose of Dawn was successfully shown by the Blunts.
Rose of Jericho's last foal for the Blunts was her most contributing one: Rose Diamond. That bay mare produced the Crabbet mare Rose of Hind (dam of 12 purebred foals) and the sire Abu Zeyd bred by Captain George Sevile of Thames, Ditton; later imported by Homer Davenport.
In 1891, Rose of Jericho was exported to Australia where she became a foundation mare of Sir James Penn Boucaut's Quambi Stud in Mount Baker, South Australia. At Quambi Stud she produced 11 foals, among them the full-brothers Badaween and Suleiman and the mare Khattara (all by Rafyk).
Although Rose of Jericho's date of death is not known she might have passed before 1908 as she was not on the sale list when Sir James dispersed his stud later that year.
