Mothers of Arabian Race horses in Sweden

I was looking at the arabian mares, the mothers of racehorses in Sweden.



To compare the progeny noted in the sport system, the winners, total sum and the average sum/horse this is to be found (I will continue to fill in):


Penelope, 2 progeny, both winners, Total SKR 476 012, 2/238 006

Catinka, 1 son, winner, Total SKR 208 023 1/208 023, (40/11-15-6)

Velona, 9 progeny, 6 winners, Total SKR 1.682 101, 9/186 900

Winstra, 2 progeny, 2 winners, Total SKR 305 427, 2/152 714

Anjeka, 3 progeny, 2 winners, Total SKR 439 009, 3/146 336

Djamiljah, 12 progeny, 7 winners, Total SKR 1.496 982, 12/124 749

Golmohar, 7 progeny, 2 winners, Total SKR 331 713, 7/47 388

Besma, 11 progeny, 4 winners, Total SKR 490 287, 11/44 572

The breeding Stallion Parnassos/Avelshingsten Parnassos




I have been living in a thriller for years, but I feel that I have to write it down before it is too late:

Ever since Parnassos started to show his excellence and quality as a performer, the envy and evilness have followed him and in the long run even me.

In 2001 he was the Arabian Racing Champion and gave El Wodkine a real fight and won.

From that day, and the change of trainer, he had to meet his competitors mostly with two horses from their stables. The less good of their horses was going up and put pressure on Parnassos and the "best" one was waiting behind for the finish. I have saved all the films from his races and it is very obvious. The tactics was allways the same.

2002 started with a win. Next race should have been tested for doping. Parnassos behaved very uncommen the jockey said and he refused to go on board on the trailer. He looked around surprised as if he had just woke up.

To be continued....

The Swedish Endurance Team Championship

Concentration before the start signal!
The last loop remains of the 100 km race and the young King Peak is still willing to do his work.
The grooming team in action after the last loop
and the big hug when they had gone through the last Vet examination!
The Silver medal was a fact!

On Saturday, July 10, we went to Uppsala to watch King Peak taking part in the Team Championship. One of the four participants was excluded before the race so there were just 3 starters in the team. Annelie started in a moderate way and was about 15 minutes after the leading group. They were second placed for a while but Annelie decided to slow down as he is just 6 years old. The average speed was 18.2 km/H and that is rather fast. He seems to have inherited his fathers exeptional physics so he was recovering fastest of all the horses in the race!
