Caspian Mares
|
We are extremely proud of our mares. They have not only outstanding pedigrees, but excellent type and movement, and are always superb ambassadors for their breed.

Kristull Sienna
2000 bay, Henden Trojan x Bytham Dortunca
|
Our senior and most valuable broodmare, Sienna is exotically lovely and refined, with a disposition that can only be described as ideal. She has excellent conformation and elegant dressage-type movement, producing offspring ideally suited to both carriage driving and performance under saddle. Her foals all exhibit her superb temperament and look to be outstanding sport prospects in addition.
Sienna's sire Henden Trojan, imported from the UK, represented the Caspian breed at The Kentucky Horse Park; her English dam Bytham Dortunca, now deceased, was regarded as one of the best broodmares in the US. Sienna is linebred on the Iranian foundation mare *Korshid Kola, the first Caspian mare exported to England, and gifted to Prince Philip by Louis Firouz. With an astonishing 15.63 % bloodline percentage of *Korshid Kola, Sienna is a fine representative of her illustrious ancestor, with the same exotic desert type and lovely feminine essence. Adding to her already impressive pedigree, Sienna also carries 6.25 % of the very rare foundation line *Doueez.

Sienna has two foals for sale here at CAE - Kingsheart Couer De Lion, 2004 bay gelding, by the very exotic stallion Texanas Adam; and her 2006 filly Kermanshah Shamisa, by our excellent stallion Alamos Shahins Austre. Please see our Sales List for information on these fine youngsters. She also gave us a stunning crossbred filly, Kermanshah Sierra, by our senior Akhal-Teke stallion Gindarkh 13, proving the Caspian halfbreds are just as lovely coming from the dam side.

Kristull Jessica
2000 golden chestnut, Runnymede Karamat x Bytham Sparky
|
 |
|
Jessica is our most thoroughbred-type Caspian mare, with simply incredible dressage movement and remarkably correct conformation. She is quite tall, at almost 12.2, with long legs and an exceptional topline. She is our best performance-producer to date; her first foal, Kingsheart Scirocco, was acquired by A Touch of L'Egance Caspians in Michigan as a potential herd sire. Her later foals show equal promise as well.
Jessica gets her rich metallic chestnut coloring from her famous sire, Runnymede Karamat, one of the first Caspian stallions imported to the US. Karamat's dam was one of only two daughters of the excellent mare Hopstone Banafsheh, the only *Felfel line offspring outside Iran. Jessica's dam Bytham Sparky is one of the tallest Caspian mares on U.S. soil -- passing on the height and soundness so desireable in children's riding ponies. Jessica's pedigree carries the very rare and valuable foundation lines of *Felfel and *Doueez, as well as a remarkable 14 % percentage of the Iranian foundation mare *Korshid Kola.
As a broodmare, Jessica is passing on the good size, soundness and performance potential that come from her breeding. Her foals are athletic, well-built and charming. She has two offspring for sale here at CAE; Kermanshah Zoroastrian, her 2005 bay gelding by Texanas Adam, an outstanding show prospect, and 2006's lovely chestnut filly Kermanshah Azarak, by Alamos Shahins Austre. She also had a gorgeous halfbred colt, Kermanshah Jalil, by our senior Akhal-Teke stallion Gindarkh 13. Please see our Sales List for more information and prices.

Kermanshah Mersedeh
2006 black bay-going grey, Texanas Moses x Kristull Pattons Maddie
Mersey was our first Kermanshah-born filly, hence her name, Mersedeh was an Iranian queen. She absolutely lives up to her name, she has an incredibly outgoing and personable temperament, greeting every visitor first and demanding their complete attention. She is very smart and totally fearless, she views everything that enters her world as a curiosity that needs to be investigated.
Mersey was born on January 13 in a raging thunderstorm, despite her rough beginning she is healthy, charming, and completely indestructible. She will likely stay on the small end of the breed standard like her dam, especially being a first foal, and will stay here at CAE as a broodmare, as we adore her gorgeous sire Moses. Mersey resembles him quite remarkably. She may also be our first driving Caspian when she matures.
