Gadebrook Stud was delighted to acquire the outstanding colt Binley Prince Salim as a foal from Caroline Sussex. He is by Binley's illustrious Prince Sadik (now deceased) out of the classic Silvern Image, both AHS Premium horses, so of the highest quality Crabbet bloodlines. He is SCID clear.

After early backing with Ben Martin who took Salim's full brother Ikoni to Ridden National Championships, and dressage training with Emma Thomas who gained 1st place with a score of 65.7% with him his very first affiliated BD test as a 4-year old, Salim is powering through affiliated EGB endurance rides with Grade 1s and has qualified for FEI* International competition in 2013 with national team rider Susan Hawes (below).

Susan also won the Novice Ridden class on him at South East Arab Show on 28 April.

Salim competed for the first time in the AHS annual Performance Horse Awards in 2012 and came an impressive 4th out of 36 entries with 522 points. He will receive his Award from the AHS President at the Arab Championships in July. So far in 2013, he has 260 PHA points from dressage, endurance and ridden showing.

 

Salim was selected to represent England at the Home International in Wales in October 2011. He continues to combine affiliated British Dressage with his endurance career, and has notched up 29 BD points at Novice level with Emma by March 2013.

Salim and Susan should go far, combining her skill and experience with his energy and athleticism. We wish them every success.

Salim gained a Grade 1 in his first-ever 40-mile Open Endurance Ride in Windsor Great Park in July 2011 in 4 hours 43 minutes with an excellent pulse rate of 45prm at the end. Well done to trainer and rider Susan Hawes. In 2012 his success in 50 mile rides earned him FEI* status, allowing him to compete internationally in 2013.

Salim's stud career has got off to a good start. His first pure Crabbet foal from PHA Silver Heart was born in 2009, named Silver Sunbeam.

Binley Prince Salim has impressed overseas visitors with his style, movement and beauty and captured the hearts of the camera crew who filmed him for the new channel "All 4 Horses" launched at the Horse of the Year Show.
