Introducing Khassie- Obsidian Arabian's recent addition

I'd like to formally introduce WMF THEE KASTANAH, (Khassie) daughter of THEE FEDERALI, a MINSTRIL son. Khassie has the desired Crabbet blood I love - crossed with Egyptian greats as well. She has the most friendly, kind nature- very similar to my Solei's and just adores people. Nicely built, huge doe eyes, straight legs, substance, and my god- can she snort and blow when asked- but turns it off immediately and become a docile puppy. She has a pretty nice show record herself. She will be bred to Dream this Spring.
So without further ado-- here's my new girl who I'm thrilled to have! Still getting her in condition; she is pasture dirty and fuzzy:

Wmf Thee Kastanah Arabian












And her sire:

Thank you HLL!! What amazing luck to find this girl; I feel very fortunate. My plans for her as this time since she already has a show record is to breed her to Dream, however, since she is so well trained, a fellow horsewoman would like to show her to brush up on her show riding, so I agreed. She's getting her ready for showing and she's very excited. Other than that - with her being well-trained, sweet-tempered, and very talented, she may be a great trail horse or lesson horse for newbies.. ;)

Druydess I bet you are getting some great deals for these very nice horses.
What are you trying to do? Keep the prices for quality arabians high single handedly? Just joking.
I am guilty too of taking advantage in the market to buy good quality brood stock.
hopefully when the market rebounds. the two of us will be sitting pretty.
that is a nice mare and great addition to your herd. good luck. Shalom

Well-- this one I did not plan on getting. Sad series of events brought her to me. My trainer's lifelong friend- also a trainer and breeder has been fighting cancer for 2 years- and is now terminal, and instead of selling them to unknowns- wanted her placed with good people who would use her and treat her well. My trainer took a few horses as well. I send her updates and pics and she is ecstatic that she'll be bred to Dream.
But in every other case-- it has been somewhat serendipitous; these opportunities just seemed to have fallen in my lap, mostly as a result of friendships with other breeders. For instance-- just bought down another lovely mare from up North.. I have though, known that collecting my stock in these times will benefit me later as the market will rebound as it always does, and I can wait..:wink:
I wish I could keep the prices high single-handedly..lol

Yes-- we think much alike. Thanks for the compliment about Khassie!

I bought a couple of mares a greatly discounted prices due to the drought and the former owner knowing that I take good care of my horses,
Another mare was practically given to me when I deleivered some hay to a rancher that had nothing to feed his cattle and horses due to the drought.
Gave him the hay and talked about the nice mare standing in his pasture. He insisted on delivering her that same day. Shalom

Here's a few of her starting back to saddle. Now I'm sure there'll be someone that says her form sucks, but she's been off 2 years due to her prior owner's cancer battle and is very out of shape and rusty with the more difficult techniques. She is, however, willing and has heart.





BTW-- this is not me riding her, but a friend who's using her to show. I am not good enough to show ride-- know squat about it..LOL

Khassie was ridden today and all I can say is "WOW." Only a few rides and this girl knows things we are just discovering. Light mouthed-- little or no leg, and this girl just is on it! I can not wait to see how much more this Lady knows as her training progresses..

She had shown before, so I have no real need to show her, but a friend who wants some practice in the ring is going to borrow her for the spring show season and have some fun with her. She been practicing with her and they're getting on very well. Khassie has a stellar, willing attitude and has been well trained. I don't really expect wins as she will be fairly rusty and will enter shows just for practice, but I'm sure they'll have a great time. :D
