Beautiful AUDACIOUS 😍

- "Somewhere...somewhere in time's own space, there must be some sweet pastured place where creeks sing on and tall trees grow, some paradise where horses go. For by the love that guides my pen I know great horses live again."

I had the pleasure to bring the Polish guru of Arabian breeding, Izabella Zawadska, to Varian Arabians in the late 1990’s. She came away mesmerized. She said, ‘I have all respect for what this woman has done with those mares she brought from Poland'." | Jerzy "George Z" Zbyszewski on

“We heard about a stallion named Afire Bey V that was with Tim and Marty Shea. It was a beautiful fall day in late September. The leaves were turning. And they trotted him with the background of the beautiful leaves. It took me five seconds. I looked at my wife, Gail, and said, “We’ll buy this stallion.” | Dave Liniger speaking of Afire Bey V on

ESTOPA ... A Series.
by Sigi Siller

*Estopa took a break from raising foals during 1978 and 1979. In 1980 she conceived to her son, *El Shaklan and in 1981 she foaled another lovely filly. The filly strongly resembled her mother, so we named her *Bint Estopa. It was about that time that *Estopa’s health began to decline. We had been plagued for several years with some our mares developing a chronic cough. It was only among the mares that came from Spain. We believed that they developed an allergy to our hay and for some reason these mares seemed less adaptable to the change in climate from Spain to our cooler, wetter weather in the Black Forest. For years it didn’t seem to bother *Estopa. Our veterinarian diagnosed her ailment as emphysema, and cautioned us that she likely would not live long with that condition. It was necessary to keep *Estopa’s environment dust free. Our pastures were lush, deep grass, and her stall was not dusty. The only source of dust was our hay. So I wetted her hay with a special vat made especially for soaking hay. It was clear that that *Estopa was losing the battle with the damp and cold climate of the Black Forest.

Very pleased with *Bint Estopa, and our inbreeding to *Estopa, we rebred *Estopa with *El Shaklan. While we were breeding her I recognized that *Estopa’s behavior about the teasing and breeding had changed. When she was teased and bred with Shaker El Masri for several years before, she was very cooperative. She seemed to like her chestnut mate of all those years. When we began teasing and breeding her with her son *El Shaklan, she became very hostile. *El Shaklan was a large, imposing stallion, but he was intimidated by his mother. From then on *Estopa became be a very difficult mare to tease. It was as if she had a love affair with Shaker El Masri and he was gone and she wanted no other."

- The Arabian horses of Poland have played a major role throughout the history of the breed and their influence is seen in the horses we enjoy today. One of the most colorful characters among Arabian horse breeders in Poland and throughout all of Europe was Count Waclaw Rzewuski. ("Portrait of Wacław Rzewuski, known as the "Emir " Author: Kazimierz Żwan (1792-1858) Copy of the painting from the National Museum in Warsaw, Poland.

Born in 1785, he attended university in Vienna where he studied Arabic languages. Following the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Count Waclaw Rzewuski was entrusted with the task of purchasing Arabian horses for the Russian Czar, Alexander I, and for the King of Witenberg's Weil Stud in Germany. In 1817, Count Waclaw Rzewuski's dream of traveling to Arabia came true when he headed an expedition for the purpose of finding and purchasing the best Arabian horses possible. During the course of his travels, Count Waclaw Rzewuskikept many notes and sketches of his experiences in the desert. Later, these were published under the title," Sur Les Cheveux Orient et Provenant des Race Orientales".

These documents are preserved today at the National Library in Warsaw, Poland. Learning about your horses and where they come from creates an even deeper, more meaningful bond. That's the inspiration for the Al-Marah Arabian Horse Galleries Kentucky Horse Park to preserve and share the history of the Arabian horse with the world. Learn more by visiting the Galleries soon.
