This mare is very much in the image of her sire Pyatigorsk. Niobe's dam line traces to Koalicja, a strikingly handsome mare that to this day photographs of her head are reproduced as the most perfect example of refinement of a purebred Arab mare. Koalicja is also the dam of Polish great Miecznik who is the sire of Doktryner and Aquinor, sire of Elf, Eleuzis, Elkin and Elkana (in 1972 Elkin and Elkana won championships in the U.S. and Canada at the same time). Add to Niobe's heritage in the tail line Naseem, Priboj, Arax, and *Mag. *Mag was a Dutch and French National Champion and is a son of Aswan out of Magnolia (a Mammona daughter). *El Kasaka and *Mag both lead to Aswan and when combined with the structure and beauty of Pyatigorsk on top make for a mare that is stylish and structural.
