GAS Pepelka
         
 

We are delighted to welcome the pure Russian AHS Premium mare GAS Pepelka to Gadebrook thanks to the generosity of Sandra Wilsher and Paul Simmons.

Pepelka has initiated a pure Russian breeding programme at Gadebrook, with the birth of a strong bay filly, Kallista, by our Premium stallion and top racing sire, Sambist.

Pepelka's pedigree is particularly valuable as it contains no Aswan, the Egyptian stallion given to the Russian State Stud.

Pepelka comes from the finest race lines and has proved herself a successful dam of race horses with both Mack the Knife (by Makzan) and Moogali (by Bengali D'Albret) having won on the racecourse. Pepelka's lovely chestnut daughter Tamarisk was covered by Sambist last year.

Pepelka is in foal to Sambist again for 2012 and so is her daughter Moogali by Bengali d'Albret.

Pepelka's illustrious pedigree includes the world famous stallion Peleng (above) who was purchased by the Americans from the Tersk State Stud for "well in excess of $3 million" in 1985.
