Equator is sired by World Gold Champion Stallion QR Marc, a son by Marwan Al Shaqab that needs no more introduction.
Equator was born in 2010 at the world-renowned Polish state stud of Michalow. His dam is Ekliptyka, a daughter by Ekstern. European Triple Crown winner Ekstern was chief sire at Michalow producing successful show horses like Palanga, Wilga, Gilly J, Eternal or Esparto and valuable broodmares. He died in 2022 at the age of 28.
Ekliptyka's dam traces to the E-family of Estokada. Estokada was by Amurath Sahib, a Polish bred stallion which pedigree is influenced by old Weil bloodlines, too. Through her sire, Estokada was half-sister to Arax and the mare Balalajka, dam of Bask.
Equator is not only a successful halter show horse being named All Nations Cup Silver Champion Stallion, European Gold Champion Stallion and World Gold Champion but also a proven sire producing Zlota Mysl (x Zlota Bulla), Polish National Silver Champion Yearling Filly 2021, Mona Lisa Aljassimya (x Minwah), World Silver Champion Yearling Filly 2019 or Zaher Al Muawd (x Espinilla), a successful Junior Champion colt in Kuwait and Saudi-Arabia.
