SH ROYAL DREAM SH ROYAL DREAM IS THE CULMINATION OF A WORLDWIDE SEARCH FOR A REGISTERED PINTABIAN STALLION THAT MET OUR REQUIREMENTS ...
By Candy Green Cadenza Arabian Stud wishes to announce the safe arrival of SH Royal Dream (imp USA) (SH Nite Gambler x SH Nite Mariah) to our small stud in Victoria earlier in 2014. SH Royal Dream is the first imported homozygous tobiano and homozygous black Pintabian stallion to be registered with the Arabian Horse Society of Australia as a partbred Arabian. Bred by Barbara Olson of Spruce Hollow Arabian and Pintabians, Minesotta USA, SH Royal Dream (imp USA) is the culmination of Barb’s dedication and commitment to breeding high percentage, coloured Arabians in the USA. A highly regarded breeder of Pintabians, Barbara has bred and exported Pintabian mares and stallions to many countries around the world. Representing a whole new direction of breeding for Cadenza Arabians, SH Royal Dream (imp USA) will lead our first foray into coloured Arabian horse breeding. Having bred mainly purebreds for the past 25 years with just a small handful of Anglo Arabians as well, we look forward to producing a small number of stunning tobiano coloured Arabian foals for the 2015 and future foaling seasons. A number of these foals will also be eligible for dual registration with the Pintabian Horse Registry Incorporated (PHRI) as Pintabian horses in their own right.
be eligible for dual registration as a partbred Arabian (through AHSA) and pinto through the relevant State Pinto Association. For us, SH Royal Dream (imp USA) is the culmination of a worldwide search for a registered Pintabian stallion that met our requirements of good conformation, height over 15hh and homozygous for the tobiano gene. With only a handful of stallions meeting these specifications worldwide, and with homozygosity for the tobiano gene being so rare, it was even harder to find one that was actually for sale! Pintabian horses (as specified by the Pintabian Horse Registry Incorporated (PHRI), an international registry for registration of Pintabian horses around the world) are partbred Arabian horses who carry over 99% Arabian blood while also exhibiting the tobiano colour pattern. Requiring at least seven generations of breeding tobiano coloured horses back to purebred Arabians to meet the minimum 99% Arabian blood percentage required for registration with PHRI, Pintabian horses are an exciting new source of Arabian bloodlines for anyone wishing to pursue a coloured Arabian breeding program. Only recently having turned three, SH Royal Dream (imp USA) will be given a few more months to mature before we plan to
start him under saddle as part of his long and slow lead up to an endurance career in a few years’ time. Currently showing an extremely laid-back, no fuss disposition, we trust that he will pass these qualities onto his foals who will in turn become our cherished riding horses of the future. SH Royal Dream (imp USA) will be standing at public stud to a limited number of approved mares by Artificial Insemination (AI) chilled semen only. Frozen semen may be made available in the future once further testing has been finalised. Further details regarding SH Royal Dream can be found on www.cadenzaarabians. com.au or through our Cadenza Arabians and Pintabians Facebook page. Further details on the Pintabian breed can be found on the Pintabian Horse Registry Incorporated website at www.pintabianregistry.com ▮
Genetically tested as homozygous for both the tobiano and black genes, all SH Royal Dream’s (imp USA) foals will be born with black based (eg. black, bay, buckskin etc) tobiano colouring, no matter what colour the mare is that he is bred to (even greys). None of the foals will display red based colouring eg. chestnut tobiano. In the case of grey mares however, if their grey gene dominates, the tobiano colouring will grey out as any other solid colour would do on a grey horse. Steel greys would of course still show the tobiano patterning. All foals from either purebred or partbred Arabian mares over 98.69 percent will be eligible for triple registration as a Pintabian (through PHRI), a partbred Arabian (through AHSA) and a pinto through the relevant State Pinto Association. All other foals will TOP & RIGHT: SH ROYAL DREAM.
