| This bay mare of 15 hands had produced very well line
bred to Protocall, which provides for a big bold trot. Another
great line up graces Oppalessence's pedigree on the dam's side tracing back to
the Russian import from France Carabine, the mare that accompanied Kann in the
1920's to Russia as the foundation of Tersk breeding. Carabine is dam of Dikarka
who is the dam of Podruga, a race winner and dam of Patron. Dikarka also is the
dam of Piramida, a prolific mare from Tersk that crossed well with many horses.
Trace her pedigree to see how the Russians used stallions of various genotype in
successive generations to improve the breed. You will see all of the greats:
Piramida is by Piolun (sire of Priboj) and bred to Knippel to produce
Poklonnaja, she was bred to Salon to produce Psisha, she was bred to Pesniar to
produce Applicatia who was then bred to Nut. The study of Willomar pedigrees
allows one to learn historical lessons from the breeding principles of renowned
experts. |
