Psadisho Ibn Esstashan offspring continued to triumph at the 2012 British National Show:

Here is Paul and Avril Timms' top winning filly ELISHAA ('Psadsiho' x  Exquisite Lady). She culminated her fantastic show season by winning a strong two year old class and the British National Reserve Championship.

Congratulations!

Another Psadisho Ibn Esstashan daughter - our homebred  British National Champion Filly, CRYSTAL FADISHAA competed in adult classes for the first time. We were delighted that she was placed second in one of the strongest classes of the day!

Our Part-Arabians bolstered our other wins. Here we have D'ARTAGNAN (Arastin x Broadstone Dresden) already a British National Champion. He won his class again and the National Reserve Supreme Partbred Championship. Later, he was second on his debut appearance under saddle!  

It is not unheard of that a father and son appear in the same Supreme Championships at the British National Show...but it is a rare occurrance.

Here we have our own D'Artagnan (Arastin x Broadstone Dresden) with his yearling son, the Didlick's Mr. D'Arcy. Both won their sections and were the only "sire and son" to do so. D'Artagnan was chosen as the Reserve Supreme Champion.

We are pleased to be able to offer several of our horses for sale. There are one or two special horses available that are not featured here. Foals; Youngsters; Ridden Horses, Breeding stock etc.

On the right is the 2012 colt Pragush, a wonderful copy of his dam Prawica, one of the UK's best loved and most successful show mares.

Pragush's sire is our multi champion stallion Psadisho Ibn Esstashan. With those parents, naturally he is a fantastic mover, with huge presence and he is also refined, elegant and correct.

PRAGUSH IS FOR SALE! Please contact us for more details. He is for sale only as we own his sire and his dam and several close relatives.

Here is Psadisho Ibn Esstashan with his long term handler Mark Hardcastle. Together they brought the audience to their feet with their dramatic performance at The Classic Arabian Show.

Nykitaa won the yearling filly class and went on to take the Filly Championship. Later in the day, her sire 'Psadisho Ibn Esstashan' won the senior stallion class and the overall Stallion Championship.

The photo of his filly Nykitaa was taken last year when she was a foal. New ones will be posted as soon as possible.

Apart from being a triumph in the show ring, these results testify to our solid breeding programme, as Nykitaa is sired by 'Psadisho' and out of Nykolaa, a daughter of our senior stallion ARASTIN.

She has hergrandsire's elegance and his enormous eyes, combined with her sire's huge presence and high trotting movement.

Aaprt from our Arabians, we also have Warmbloods and Welsh Cobs.

 On the right is pictured our Champion Welsh Cob, Ackroyd Danny Boy, who was brought out of retirement in September to compete at the Annual Carriage Driving Extravaganza.

He won three classes and placed third in the Supreme Championship, gaining a great number of admirers along the way.

He competed, driven to a vintage (circa 1900) Spindle Backed Gig.

----------

Stop Press: Danny Boy competed at the British Driving Society's National Championships (right) where he gained two third places amidst the strongest competition. A wonderful result for a truly wonderful driving horse.

Congratulations to Frances & the purebred Arab Elustarius who competed at the Suffolk County Show in the prestigious private driving classes, against all breeds.

Third overall (and of course the only Arabian present) they qualified for the British Driving Society's National Championships at Smiths Lawn.

This celebrated partnership is no stranger to the show ring and they have won countless championships together, including at the Horse of the Year Show and the British Nationals.

Frances is drving Elustarius to a Lawton Stick Back Gig (circa 1900). This elegant, original vehicle is black with gold lining and is about 100 years old.

 Congratulations to the new owners of Kubiara (Kubinec x Nemara by Mamluk) 

This lovely multi champion show mare has been purchased by her experienced owner / exhibitor in Wales and we wish them every success for the future.

Kubiara has made a real impact in the UK show rings for our Cullinghurst Stud and she is also the dam of a refined, elegant colt sired by Psadisho Ibn Esstashan.

 Congratulations to the new owners of Wistacjaa (QR Marc x Wisteriaa by Arastin)

This lovely show winning filly has been purchased by her experienced owner / exhibitors in Lincolnshire and we wish them every success for the future.

 Our Partbred Arabian D'Artagnan appeared in a dual role for his first outing since winning his British National Championship as a two year old.

At the East Midlands AHS Group Show D'Artagnan win the Supreme In Hand Championship, beating National Winning Purebred Arabians and went onto win his very first ridden class and championship in his section, partnered by his delighted owner/breeder Frances Atkinson.

Sired by our black purebred Arastin, his dam is our Broadstone Doulton's (HOYS Supreme Champion) full sister Broadstone Dresden, herself a National Champion and HOYS Reserve Champion. Dresden's filly by Arastin (D'Amsen) - see below, is a double British National winner.

********************************

STOP PRESS! D'Artagnan is proud of his first Part Arabian foal (Mr D'Arcy) a gorgeous, black-grey colt bred by Emma and Shirley Didlick from their beautiful mare Pricklegate Minim .... we wish every success in the future!

Stop press! AT HIS FIRST FOAL SHOW - HE WON!

Our refined and elegant, young mare Tamira has been sold to a breeder in Denmark. She is straight "Russian" in pedigree.

Judging by the quality of her first filly Tamishaa (by Psadisho Ibn Esstasan), whose movement, type and carriage are fantastic, she will be an excellent brood mare and we wish her new owner all success for the future.

We sponsored the entire Arabian section for the last time this year. Three years ago we were compelled to step in with the help of Mary Ann Wragg, because there were very real fears that the Horse of the Year Show would be lost to Arab horses.

Since then very many enthususiasts have expressed their thanks and we have been delighted that the classes have gone from strength to strength.

We hope to remain involved with a degree of the sponsorship in the future and are relieved that the Arab Horse Society has seen the wisdom of supporting this most illustrious of events.

2010 HOYS Champion Arabian Silvern Prince

Having won five consecutive championships, including at the Midlands International "C" show - and unbeaten in two years, Psadisho took second place at the UK International, gaining 92.6 points! He was the highest placed British owned stallion and a Gold Medal Winner.

Thanks to Mark Hardcastle for his skill and his empathetic handling.

 At the British National Show, D'Aamsen won her class and was Reserve Champion. She was Champion in 2009 at the same show.

Her sire is our black Arabian, Arastin (Simeon Sadik x Arina by Palas) - a great sire of broodmares.

D'Aamsen's dam (Dresden) is a multi Champion in the showring and successful in the dressage arenas. Dresden is full sister to our Horse of the Years Show Supreme Champion, Broadstone Doulton.

Our black filly D'Aamsen

At the International Midlands Festival (2010), our young stallion Psadisho was once again Champion Show Stallion.

A great pedigree, a superb show record and an amazing sire (including the British National Champion Filly), Psadisho is fulfilling all of his early promise.

Thanks again to Mark Hardcastle for his sympathetic handling of our gentle, yet extrovert stalliion.

Psadisho

 SG Jeddah [Jullyus JJ x Haiti Shaklana (MA Alishah)] was Champion on his first outing at the prestigious HOCON "C" Show and two weeks later, he wins again at The Midlands.

We are grateful to Geogian Arabians for leasing us this enchanting young stallion following the sad loss of our wonderful Adres.

In the photo is Jeddah and Frances (Atkinson), already a championship combination.

 It's always good to hear of our clients' successes. We congratulate Vicky Marsh on her excellent show with Tamishaa (Psadisho Ibn Esstashan x Tamira) who made such an impact on her debut.

Tamishaa's dramatic trot and her exquisite type attracted a great deal of comment from spectators and exhibitors alike. We look forward to reporting on even more success in the near future.

PSADISHO IBN ESSTASHAN

Not only a great show stallion, not only a superb sire of show champions, not only an international pedigree - he is also tested clear of both C.A. and S.C.I.D.

A guaranteed safe choice for your mares.

PSADISHO IBN ESSTASHAN

FRANCES Rode Elustarius to win the Supreme Arabian of The Year at the world famous HORSE OF THE YEAR SHOW in October 2009. Their win was made all the more exciting as her London Business "Hutchinsons Domestic Staff" sponsored the classes and her husband Paul was at hand to present her with the trophies.

Cullinghurst has enjoyed a record breaking show season, with the homebred youngstock, capturing British National Championships AND Reserve National Championships.

Best of all - the 2009 foal crop is the best to date, with fillies by World Champion MARAJJ (Marwan Al Shaqab x RGA Kouress), The International Sensation, QR Marc (Marwan Al Shaqab x Sweet Dreams) and our own multi Champion, Psadisho Ibn Esstshan.

Frances and Paul with Elustarius

PSADISHO IBN ESSTASHAN has it all! Tall, refined, elegant and with dramatic movement, he has been Stallion Champion, every time shown in 2009 and he is also a multi International Champion.

 PSADISHO is sired by Esstashan - full brother to the illustrious Triple Crown Winner (Nations Cup, European Champion & World Champion) ESSTEEMA. His dam is the European Reserve Champion Psayada Bint Psyche.

Psadisho's top international pedigree, together with his individual quality explain his huge success as a young sire.

At the Britsh National Show, three of the six fillies in the Championship were sired by Psadisho , with his oldest offspring being just three years old. The British National Champion Filly was his two year old daughter Crystal Fadishaa.

Ellustarius followed up his British National Ridden Championship in July by beating all contenders, (in hand or ridden) to become the Supreme Champion at the British Arabian Championships in September.

As can be seen here, less than 2 weeks later, the talented and beautiful Ellustarius competed against all breeds in the Driven Section at the Gransden Agrictultral
