Espora

ESPORA inköptes till Slängsboda som 2,5-åring från Eleonore Hussmann, Tyskland, och stannade på Slängsboda i drygt ett år innan hon, 1985, exporterades till USA och Bob och Betsy Magness, Magness Arabians. Hon hade då stofölet Espolska (e. Probat) vid sin sida.
Espora var ett mycket vänligt sto, hon reds in innan hon exporterades och var härlig att rida med sina vägvinnande rörelser och sin smidighet. Sammanlagt fick hon 13 avkommor, 6 ston och 7 hingstar, och sin sista avkomma fick hon 1999. Fem av hennes avkommor är exporterade till Förenade Arab Emiraten. Några som förtjänar att särskilt omnämnas är:

Espolska (e.Probat)

Espoliera, född 1988 (e. Gondolier), exporterad till Förenade Arab Emiraten, visad i halter 2 gånger (3:a o 4:a) och hon har 8 registrerade avkommor. Nedan beskrivs en av dem (Prospector MA) i en auktionskatalog.

Escapade MA, född 1993 (e. Gondolier), visad i halter 4 gånger (2 x 3:a, 1 x 4:a) och i Hunter Pleasure Junior 1 gång (1 x 1:a).

Winning Spirit MA, född 1994 (e. Monarch AH), exporterad till Förenade Arab Emiraten, har startat i löp med resultatet: 27 starter (7-7-9), 13 av dem har varit Stakes och resultaten i dem har varit 5×1:a, 1×2:a, 7×3:a, Hennes insprugna summa pengar blev $141.949!

Magic Girl I, född 1995 (e. Monarch AH), har startat i löp med resultatet: 19 starter (2-2-2) och summa insprugna pengar blev $13.918.

Escapades MA, född 1996 (e. Monarch AH), exporterad till Förenade Arab Emiraten, har startat i 10 löp med 2 1:a- och 2 2:a-placeringar och en tredjeplats i Stakes-löpet Arac Arabian Cup Filly Futurity.

PROSPECTOR MA
1995 Chestnut Arabian Gelding (14.1 h)
SIRE: Monarch AH
DAM: Espoliera
Gondolier
Espora
Pierrot
This striking chestnut gelding is by the successful racing Arabian Monarch AH. Prospector came to our program in the spring of 1999 and has been an exceptionally pleasant horse to handle and ride. He is just the correct size to be a large pony and will make a wonderful mount for an intermediate pony club, 4-H or hunter rider. Prospector has been a member of our Behavior and Training class this fall and has had extensive groundwork and handling. He is willing to load into a trailer, be clipped, and do whatever we have asked of him. If you are interested in a large pony who will make a good impression wherever he goes, please consider Prospector.

”Espora 1981 (Pierrot – Estana) bred in Germany but imported from Sweden, was a key import to Magness. She went to USA with her daughter Espolska 1985 by Probat, both mares were bred to Monarch in 1993, the year he retired to stud, and both produced winning fillies. Espora’s daughter Winning Spirit MA 1994 4/27(7-7-9)4-5 proved to be the best filly of her generation and was named Darley Champion Three Year Old. Her breeding career commenced in Abu Dhabi and she is proving a very valuable broodmare. Her first foal, Waneessah W’rsan by Amer 5(0-2-0) showed considerable promise in her first season of racing, coming second in the strongly contested Abu Dhabi Fillies Classic. She has been followed by two colts Wakeed W’rsan by Tron Ku Tu and Wasel W’rsan by Amer both impressive looking and capable of maintaining the family’s standard of excellence. Espolska has four daughters in Wrsan the oldest Uptown Girl MRV by Czarnolas is part of the breeding herd and her first foal Haalat Yathreb W’rsan, a filly by Monarch will race next season. Meanwhile she has two other daughters by Monarch foaled in Abu Dhabi which are in race training, of these Jadhebeh W’rsan 5(1-0-1-1) in her first season racing, and her last foal Hebah W’rsan will hopefully race next season. Espolska’s first three Monarch foals in USA, had all been winners and included the spectacular colt Storrmy Weather 1996 19(6-2-7)2-7. Unfortunately racing injuries sustained in the US curtailed his race career and we could not get him back to the track, but he is now one of three Monarch sons in the stallion barn and he had his first foal this year a colt out of the Gondolier daughter Doriana (ex Doraa PASB).”
