by Sam R out of Faith de Haar a "Prestatie" "Preferent" KWPN Mare
Zarai was purchased by MFS Stud as a foal having been selected for one of the top Elite Foal Auctions in Holland. Her dam "Faith de Haar" was noted as a top showjumping mare, having already produced a national showjumping winner in Holland with her daughter "Kaith de Haar".
Due to her breeding potential the KWPN awarded her the top predicates of "Prestatie" and "Preferent"!
Sam R, the “Thoroughbred” among the jumper stallions, is a son of the excellent sire Mermus R. Sam R’s dam is the well-known mare Amelusina (Abgar xx x Wagner). Amelusina is also the granddam of Namelus R. At his performance test the scores spoke for themselves: Take off: 10, Scope: 9.5, Technique: 9, and Jumping talent: 9.5. A good horse can also be beautiful. Sam R is proof of this. The big, very noble stallion that expresses abundant blood breeds like the best Thoroughbred sire.
Sam R offspring are noble, long-legged, long-lined, and show lots of blood. The electric jumper W. Adermie (Sam R x Zeus x Joost) placed fourth in the quality assessments for four-year-old jumpers at CSI Twente. One of the most striking six year old show jumpers of the Dutch circuit is Wembley R (Sam R x Lucky Light). Three and a half year old Athene (Sam R x Fedor) was placed fourth in the final of the Dutch national VSN Trophy.
Zarai has so far had two foals. The first, a filly by Royal Geneve, retained by MFS Stud. The second, a 2010 colt by Don Aqui, First Don, see below.
Zarai is again in foal to Don Aqui for a 2011 foal. I had hoped to have a Don Aqui foal by Sienna next year, but as she was still thought too immature to go in foal yet, it is wonderful to have Zarai bring one to us! We can only hope he or she is as lovely as First Don.
