WAHO - SPAIN, 2007
FAKETEKO Liver Chestnut Stallion 1986
(Zacateco / Zakateka). Breeder and owner S.A.R. Teresa de Borbon.
Strain, Managhi Sbeyli (Beni Khaled, 1918).
As in 2006, Spain has continued with
a points system to select this year's WAHO Trophy winner, taking into account
both Show and Sports results of the proposed horse and up to 5 of its best
placed offspring.
AECCA (Association Espanola Criadores
de Caballo Arabe) is proud to announce that the 2007 WAHO Trophy Winner
for Spain is FAKETEKO, son of Spain's 2005 WAHO Trophy winner ZACATECO
(Jacio / Baldosa) and the mare ZAKATEKA (Marmol / Samarkanda) owned by
S.A.R. Teresa de Borbon and bred at her Flor de lis Stud farm.
FAKETEKO wins thanks to his own Show
points, which are added to the points earned by his daughter BRAKEN (out
of Banika), who was 2nd placed and Top 5 of the 1994 European Championships,
3rd placed and Top 10 at the World Championships. Filly Champion
in Menton and at the All Nation's Cup that same year - and also the dam
of Top 5 World Championship Winner GASIR, his son LUKSOR (out of Ankara),
Junior Champion in Madrid and 2nd placed at Arabs & Co in Miono, Spain,
which is a mixed Show and Sports competition, and his son *S S ORION (out
of DAIKIRI), presently in the USA, where he competes very successfully
in both Show and Sports events.
With these points, FAKETEKO earned more
than double the points of his nearest rival in Spain's 2007 WAHO trophy
calculations. |

Notes
of Interest to Spanish Arabian breeders:
*S
S ORION’s pedigree is a ‘Who’s Who’ of what is happening in Spain today.
He traces in tail male line (top line of the pedigree) to TABAL,
through TABAL’s most exotically beautiful son JACIO. In addition, ORION
has two Spanish Supreme Champion mares in his pedigree, one on each of
his tail female lines (bottom line on the pedigree). These mares
are POLKA and SAMARKANDA.
The
tail female lines of ORION’s sire and dam are to Princess Teresa’s founding
female, NEVISCA, a TABAL daughter of extreme good quality. In the
USA we are familiar with the dynasty from the TABAL daughter and dam of
EL SHAKLAN, ESTOPA, who was bred by don Miguel Osuna and owned
during her lifetime by Om El Arab. In Spain, NEVISCA has founded
her own dynasty, with Champion descendents in many countries.
*S
S ORION’s sire FAKETEKO (ZACATECO x ZAKATECA), produced by Princess Teresa,
is by the 15.3 hand liver chestnut Military State Stallion ZACATECO (JACIO
x BALDOSA). JACIO (TABAL x TEORICA) is well known as the sire of
some of the most beautiful of the Spanish Arabians, *G G SAMIR, for example.
His dam TEORICA (BARQUILLO x GALATIFE), was a white mare of ethereal beauty;
his sire BARQUILLO was famous for producing beautiful and good producing
daughters.
ZACATECO
was BALDOSA’s last offspring. BALDOSA (MAQUILLO x HABLADURIA) was
a legendary producer, dam of GARBO and also a full sister to *SABIDURIA
(Steen importation), renowned in the USA as the dam of MI KERIDA and numerous
race winners.
ZAKATEKA
(MARMOL x SAMARKANDA) is by the liver chestnut 16 hand Military State Stallion
MARMOL (TABAL x ESCALA II), famed for producing elegant fronty horses with
size, big eyes, fine haircoats and wonderful movement. SAMARKANDA
was a beautifully typey mare and a Supreme Mare Champion of Spain.
The
dam of *S S ORION is the lovely DAIKIRI (MIKADO x POLKA). MIKADO,
liver chestnut, produced at Princess Teresa’s farm, became a Spanish National
Champion Get of Sire winner. POLKA (SACUDIR x NEVISCA),
liver chestnut, was Spanish Supreme Champion Mare.
See
photos of many of these ancestors.
*S
S ORION’s pedigree is pure Spanish gold, and he is producing as such. |
