The bay stallion Stival was sired by Gazal Al Shaqab. Gazal Al Shaqab - born at Al Shaqab Stud, Qatar - was World Champion Stallion in 2001. Through Gazal Al Shaqab, Stival is a paternal half-brother to All Nations Cup Champion Marwan Al Shaqab (x Little Liza Fame) who is considered Gazal Al Shaqab best son in the show ring as well as sire.
Stival's dam was the bay Paloma De Jamaal, 2003 US National Top Ten Futurity Filly. She was sired by Soho Carol who was born in Brazil at the farm of Mr. Ailton Braga. This bay Ali Jamaal son was then exported to the US and later came to Europe. Paloma's dam was the Straight Spanish Barich de Washoe daughter Palomara who also produced 2011 Scottsdale Top Ten Western Pleasure Junior Horse Amado de Jamaal, full-brother to Paloma de Jamaal.
Born at the farm of the Peri & Mike Wilson in Florida, Stival started his halter show career at the US Nationals in 2007 where he was Top Ten Yearling Colt. One year later he won his class Colts 2years old at Scottsdale unanimously. Then in 2009, he was shown at the Arabian Breeders World Cup in Las Vegas. With a great attitude, a lot of type and beautiful Arabian expression, Stival was awarded Junior Champion Colt.
After conquering the American show ring, Stival continued his halter show career in Europe. At the Int. Show in Baden Baden Germany, he was awarded Silver Champion Colt 2009 before crowding his successful show year by being named Junior Male Silver Champion at the All Nations Cup.
After succeeding in the show ring, he became sire of successful show horses. For the United States, he sired for example Barzan Al Shahania and Trussardi, a very typey stallion that was named US National Champion Futurity Colt in 2012 and who is building up his own dynasty of offspring.
Stival's son WW Stivallea - born in the United States - was sold to Israel where he was awarded National Gold Champion Senior Stallion in 2014.
In Europe, the most notable sons are both from Russian bred mares of the Kossack Stud: the bay ByStival Kossack (x Beatrix) and the chestnut Primeval Kossack (x Pribaltika). While ByStival Kossack is a successful sire, Primeval Kossack was Dutch National Gold Champion Junior Colt in 2013 and also is a successful sport horse.
His final years, Stival suffered from lamnities. In February 2018, Stival had to put down when the illness took its toll. He was just 12.
