QA Desert Psky joins his brother as further evidence of their amazing dam's production record. She is incredible, consistently producing, with a variety of stallions, the absolute highest quality foals: bold, beautiful, gorgeous moving foals. Psky, as well as his older brother Gadiel, carries the important dam line Ukrainka, one of Poland's most famous athletic dam families, going tail female to Poland's legendary source of athleticism: Forta. Forta's daughter Dyska was winner of the Oaks, was exported to France, and was a remarkable producer, dam of stallions Dunajec (who won the Criterium twice, exported to U.S.A.), Damocles (exported to France) and Dramat (used in Poland). Dyska was dam of mares: Dzisna (exported to U.S.A.), Desdemona (exported to France), Dessa, Driada, Drumla, Dysgresja and Dysputa. Dysputa was one of Comets most beautiful and valuable daughters, and sold at the age of 18 for $300,000.00 at the 1985 Polish Prestige sale. Comet blood is the source from which the Arabian inherited much of it's most extreme and correct action. Among them, Comet sons and daughters have won 4 Polish National Championships, 3 European National Championships, 3 U.S. National Championships, 1 U.S. Reserve National Championship, 1 U.S. Top Ten, and 1 Canadian Top Ten. One remarkable mare also won the Triple Crown of Derby, Oaks and Criterium. This as well as being the chief sires and broodmares of elite studs everywhere. Psky is linebred to Comet on the female side of his pedigree, as Donica is out of Probat, the leading progenitor of the Comet line in Poland in addition to going tail female to one of Comet's most beautiful daughters. Psky's granddam Donna has been said to have been one of the famous stallion Negatiw's most beautiful daughters. Donna was exported from Michalow stud to Canada in 1987, selling for $72,000.00 at the Polish Prestige sale. She is dam of Doping (Italian National Champion stallion), Demon (exported to Sweden), and Dekolt. She also conceived many extraordinary daughters, such as Drwina (who sold at the 1985 Polish Prestige sale for $72,000.00), Dubrawa, and Donia (full sister to our own Donica, and Polish Junior National Champion mare). Psky's dam Donica has three crosses to the beautiful Naseem, Skowronek's greatest son. Her long neck, elegant carriage and large dark eyes are come by naturally through these lines.

QA Desert Psky's sire, Psky FA (his namesake) is a young sire destined for great acclaim as a breeding stallion. Psky FA hails from one of the most royal sire lines to ever grace the Arabian breed, that of Padrons Psyche. Padrons Psyche was masterfully bred to the Aristocrat mare Jamaara FA, a beautiful black daughter of Ali Jamaal out of another Aristocrat mare Ramaseyna, by the great Bey Shah. There is no hole in Desert Psky's pedigree, no place held by less than the epitome of Arabian type, athleticism, beauty and charismatic personality.

Psky is not only bred to be beautiful, but also to perform. His dam Donica has eight crosses to the athletic, powerful stallion Ofir. Donica is by legendary Blommerod-bred sire of invaluable importance to not only Polish, but world-wide breeding: Probat. A pivotal sire in Polish breeding, Probat is the world's chief progenitor of the Kuhailan Afas d.b.-Comet line. Probat daughters are prolific producers of race winners in Poland, and show winners as well. Many great sons and daughters went on to become fantastic show horses, race horses and outstanding producers. Probat, foaled at Blommerod stud in Sweden in 1975, was all Polish in his bloodlines. His sire, Pohaniec (Swedish National Champion stallion and European Reserve Champion stallion), bred at Janow Podlaski stud, and his granddam Bogoria, bred at Albigowa State Stud, were sold to Blommerod in 1970 and 1965, respectively. Probat's dam Borexia was the happy result of the cross of those two, and was Swedish National Champion mare. The Poles recognized Probat's value to their programs and leased him for the breeding seasons of 1980-1983 and for the 1985 breeding season. He sired more than 100 foals in Poland. Probat daughters were of special value to the Poles, and by 1986, 43 had been selected for breeding. They found their glory in the Polish National Show where Probat is credited with siring six Polish National Champions and seven Reserves. The 1990 show gave Probat his greatest recognition as he had two National Champions and a Reserve. In racing statistics compiled in 1998, in a 15 year study of sires of Polish race winners, Probat headed up the list with ten percent of the wins. Probat came to the U.S. in 1987 and became an important fixture of the Lasma stallion barn. The following year he was sold to Meadow Wood Farms where he maintained valued stallion status. (This is where MWF Donica was bred.) His American foal total is 322, a total that includes 9 National winners who have four National Championships. Said George Altenberg, who purchased Probat toward the end of his life, Probat was "an extraordinary horse and one of the all time greats. I never realized a stallion could be so beautiful, particularly in the head and neck, and so gentle at the same time. The sweetest horse I have ever known. Actually, Probat had a wonderful life. Everywhere he was in the world, from the time he was foaled, he was loved." (AHW, Jan. '03, obituary)

Desert Psky's brother Gadiel (pictured right and below, left) is no exception. This dynamic young stallion has an uncanny ability to inspire and motivate mare owners to imagine beautiful, athletic foals with his unbelievable disposition and personality gracing their pastures. Everywhere Gadiel goes he earns a new admirer. With a long, high set neck with extreme length of poll, short back, extremely good legs and a beautiful refined head with distinctive, large nostrils. His value as a sire is being anxiously awaited as his first foals begin hitting the ground in 2008. To read more about QA Gadiel, click here!
