The Chetar Arabians Breeding Program is dedicated to obtaining that extra feature of colour in conformationally correct, typey and versatile Purebred and Derivative Arabians of select bloodlines consistently reknowned for their prepotency in producing extremely high quality individuals.
First and foremost, Chetar Arabians strives to meet the Standard Of Excellence with all of the Chetar horses, and in turn their progeny, and if they inherit a glamorous splash of colour in addition to clearly being an Arabian of the highest calibre, then the goals that have been set for the Chetar Arabians Breeding Program have been met.
15.2 hh Flaxen Chestnut Sabino Overo Rabicano Purebred Arabian Colt
In 2005 I began the search for a sire that would represent the future of the Chetar Arabians Breeding Program. I had an ideal in my mind, a colt with a set of 'must have' attributes, one of those being a reasonable amount of colour. A lot of research led me to believe that I would only find the man that would suit my requirements in the Part Bred Arabian world rather than the Purebred as I had been hoping - What I was searching for was not to be found in Australian Purebred Arabians at the time... Or so I had thought. In May of 2006 I met the sire of my dreams as a young colt still on his dam and it was love at first sight! Azzaam was all I'd been searching for plus much more!
From the moment of his birth, I knew Chetar Al Shahkir represented the future of the Chetar Arabians Coloured Derivative Breeding Program. Shahkir exceeded all of the high expectations I had for this breeding at birth and has only continued to improve in the months since his early morning Boxing Day 2009 arrival.
Shahkir is an extremely handsome and masculine young colt with amazing presence and an 'in your pocket' people loving temperament. He's always ready with a welcoming whinny when I walk outside, and constantly surprises me with his eager and quick to learn personality.
The photo above was taken in September 09 when Shahkir was just 10months old in his full winter coat - A small indication of what it to come from this stunning young boy!
I'm in the process of updating Chetar Al Shahkir's Individual Page - Some all new photos have already been uploaded, with more new photos and news to coming soon!
