ANGLO-TEKE SPORTHORSE

KYZYL DOUBLE or QUITS (Sam to his friends) is TB x Akhal-Teke* and combines the best of Russian and British Sporthorse breeding. His temperament is exceptional, and he is trained and evented by his 69-year-old breeder/owner. Winner on his first outing, he has won and been placed in dressage, showjumping, arena eventing and eventer challenge. He is bold and naturally fast across country, with a huge stride and an extravagant jump. He has very correct conformation, with excellent feet and straight movement. His bloodlines are full of courage, soundness and stamina. His fertility is excellent, both fresh (regular 80% - 90% motility) and frozen. Sam’s sire WELTON DOUBLE CRACKER is an international event horse. His grandsire DOUBLE TRIGGER was one of the outstanding long-distance racehorses of the last quarter-century, winning two Ascot Gold Cups and over £500,000 prize money. His grand-dam Baby Welton was an Advanced event horse by the immortal WELTON CRACKERJACK. Sam’s dam GULARA, an elite-graded mare from Russia’s leading Stavropol Stud, never competed due to a head injury at two years. Her sire GAIGYSIS is the best Akhal-Teke stallion of his generation, and the most prolific sire ever of Akhal-Teke breed champions (sire and grandsire of four Russian champions and eight world champions). The line of Welton Sporthorses has a history of sixty years, producing many Badminton and other 4* eventers including a European Champion, as well as Grand Prix dressage horses. The Akhal-Teke – agile, athletic, tough, and supremely responsive to the sympathetic rider – is the world’s most versatile sporthorse, having set Olympic Dressage and USSR Showjumping Puissance records. The breed is the second fastest in the world behind the English Thoroughbred. Added to these attributes is legendary stamina. Sam demonstrated his extraordinary resilience by overcoming Equine Grass Sickness, a condition with 95% mortality. See Sam’s Grass Sickness Diary on his webpage. KYZYL DOUBLE or QUITS, combining the stamina and athleticism of the Akhal-Teke with established and proven sporthorse bloodlines, is the ideal stallion to breed the modern event horse.
