We lost our senior stallion yesterday due to a severe colic from a twisted gut.
RS Farwasabi was a grandson of both Abu Farwa and Khemosabi. He was trained in dressage, reining and pleasure and was always a gentleman to handle. He was the first purebred Arabian horse we ever bred.
He was also a SCID carrier. As soon as we found out we made that fact public. Since then we have never gotten any more breedings to any of our stallions nor did we sell another horse to an Arabian owner or breeder.
We still have two half relatives for sale, a mare DW Zardyna and a gelding DW Zadeyr out of his mother RW Dynasty.
Good bye my friend.

I am sorry I never posted condolences for you lost of your lovely stallion. I just know him through what you wrote, but he seemed like a horse anyone could be proud to own.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you felt that discussing the SCID status kept people away. Having a small breeding farm of my own, I can say the economy is keeping many people away. I think it was heroic of you to mention his status, and horses like Versace continued to breed endlessly despite being SCID carriers.
Zardyna is lovely, and I have admired her for quite a while. If my finances were to improve, she is a mare I'd be proud to own.
Thanks for the thoughts.
