BLOODLINES AT STANLEY RANCH

When asked by the Arabian Horse World to name our most outstanding mare, we replied that *KIRAT II (SAUDO SSB X BIZANCIO SSB, by MALVITO) would be the obvious choice. She is the only Arabian from Spain chosen by Ferman Ansel to include in the CYBERSTABLE, on the Arabian Horse Legacy website. To have a look at *KIRAT II (video clip) and nine of her fourteen offspring, the site is:

We do feel the need to also mention briefly the dams of the six NATIONAL CHAMPIONS bred by Stanley Ranch. In alphabetical order;

Note: *JEZABEL+// is the first Arabian to earn her Legion of Excellence points totally in Hunters and Jumpers. Though she has points in Hunter Pleasure, her Hunter/Jumper points are sufficient to earn this award.

She has spent eleven seasons as a working field hunter and has hunted with Los Altos Hounds, Red Rock Hounds, and Santa Ynez Hunt. *BOUGANVILLEA has been awarded her Certificate as a Recognized Field Hunter by the Masters of Foxhounds Association.

Also noteable: *DISCOTECA+/ has produced four offspring and has been a working field hunter for six seasons. She has earned her Certificate as a Recognized Field Hunter. Though *DISCOTECA+/ at fifteen years old in 1997 first went to a National show, she has had a busy life. *DISCOTECA+/ was trained to saddle at age three by our daughter Lisa Stapleton, and has only been shown by Lisa. This team was recognized by the Arabian Horse World in their TOTALLY TOPS Amateur Owners (five National awards in 1997), in the March 1998 issue.

As to what horse is most representative of our breeding program, all the family has their own personal favorites. As a preservation Spanish program, we have many good individuals who represent the good Spanish lines.

Naturally we would have to say that the six NATIONAL CHAMPIONS from our program are good representatives of the program. Molly votes for *JOYAMIA+/, Dave votes for *GALAXIA, granddaughter Courtney votes for *JEZABEL SSB+//, granddaughter Katie votes for *IBERIA, daughter Lisa votes for *DISCOTECA+/, trainer Michelle votes for *BOUGANVILLEA. Each are outstanding in their own individual way, and the votes mentioned reflect the strong bonding inspired by riding a Spanish Arabian.
