RE: [RC] Arabian bloodlines---Persik - heidi

Let's take a closer look at Persik's pedigree. 
 
His sire is Kankan, who is by Korej and out of Nagrada I.
 
The mare Nagrada I is straight Crabbet--she is by Naseem and out of the mare Rixalina, who is by Raseem and out of Rissla, making her a 3/4 sister to *Rissletta, the dam of Abu Farwa.  Raseem goes back to much of the same breeding as Rahas does--he was the paternal grandsire of Abu Farwa.  That same breeding has been very influential in endurance pedigrees in this country, not only through Abu Farwa but through numerous other combinations.
 
Korej is also out of the same mare, Rixalina.
 
Korej is by the French stallion Kann.  Kann is a paternal half-brother to Persik's third dam, Dikarka, both being by the stallion Denouste.  Denouste traces quickly to the desert, as do the sires of the dams of both horses--the dams of both horses go back into French cavalry tradition.
 
Persik's maternal grandsire and the sire of his 2nd dam are Polish.  Maternal grandsire Arax is by Amurath-Sahib, who goes back to the Hungarian cavalry breeding tradition.  His dam is by Wielky Szlem, who was a half-brother to *Witez II and who was thought by many to be the best son of Ofir.
 
The sire of Persik's 2nd dam is Piolun--again, back to the good Hungarian breeding on the top, and his dam goes back pretty quickly to Ibrahim, the sire of Crabbet's Skowronek, also influential in American endurance breeding, as well as in the upper half of Persik's pedigree through his son Naseem, sire of Rixalina.
 
I suspect the people that are really "up" on pre-WWII Polish pedigrees could tell you a lot more about the Polish part than that, but there are no surprises in this pedigree--and it is the same sort of breeding that is producing well in this country.
