Significance |
| A Tersk legend, Priboj was a masterful blend of
the best Polish and Crabbet bloodlines of the era, making him the most
significant stallion ever to emerge from the Kohelian Adjuze sire line in
Europe. Priboj was described by Russian Arabian authority O. Balakszyn as "Tall
with correct conformation, and long, well arched neck, superlatively large,
strong, clean joints and substantial, clean legs of dry, solid constitution". He
was a brilliant track runner, winning several Classic Stakes races and setting
the speed record for purebred Arabians at the distance of 2400 m. During his 11
year stud career at Tersk, Priboj enjoyed senior stallion status, siring over
200 foals. Twenty-five of his sons found use in Russian Anglo-Arabian breeding
programs based on outstanding conformation and athletic ability - four of his
sons were used with success in the purebred breeding program. Over twenty-five
daughters were incorporated into the Russian breeding program and were valued as
broodmatrons of the highest possible caliber. Unchallenged now for almost a
century, PRIBOJ is the single most influential sire of racing champions in the
Arabian breed. The legacy of Priboj is that of a superior equine athlete - ideal
conformation, abundant substance and strength, harmoniously functional
proportion, enduring stamina and tenacity and incredible versatile athletic
prowess. |
| Piolun's most significant son was Priboj. Out of the
Crabbet-bred mare Rissalma, Priboj was foaled in 1944 and stood for ten years at
stud. He sired 203 progeny, of whom 48 were retained for use. Priboj is shown on
a recurring basis through most of the Russian pedigrees, particularly those of
outstanding athletes. Innumerable race records have been set by Priboj sons and
daughters. He died in 1958, and was succeeded at stud by his son,
Pomeranets.
|
| One of Priboj's greatest producing sons was the 15.3 H,
stallion Pietuszok. He was sold to Poland in 1958 and then to Canada in 1973,
where he founded the only line breeding program of this sire line. Another
Priboj son used extensively at Tersk was Topol. A full brother to Pietuszok,
Topol stood 15.3H. The mention of size in this family points out the fact that
this line is the largest of the group, on the average, offering proper
conformation and fine athletic ability. |
| Pomeranets (out of
the tap-root mare Mammona) was foaled in 1952, and was unquestionably one of the
best sons of Priboj. Not only was Pomeranets an outstanding racer and sire of
race winners, he was a beautiful individual as well. Pomeranets was named
Champion at the All Union Exhibition in 1955 and again in 1960. Pomeranets stood
15.3 H, and his offspring have been horses of size, athletic ability, and
style. |
Sport
was a Priboj son of marginal breeding use but of outstanding athletic potential.
Foaled in 1957, Sport was out of the Skrzyp daughter, Solianka II. He was a
winner of many races in the Soviet Union, but was best known for winning the
4,000 meter steeplechase in 1964, defeating 11 other participants, including
eight Thoroughbreds.
|
Three
Priboj daughters of note at Tersk were Platforma, Ptashka, and Neposeda.
Platforma, out of Figurantka, was foaled in 1954 and died in
1965. Ptashka
was a great producer at the Tersk. Six of her daughters were retained for use.
Ptashka, a full sister to Topol and Pietuszok, was Champion of the All USSR Show
in 1956.
|
| Neposeda
was a premier broodmatron at the Tersk stud. Out of Nomenklatura (by Naseem),
Neposeda's production years extended from 1961 to 1975 and included 12 foals,
ten of whom were graded "elite" in the stud book. Neposeda is remembered as the
"Queen of Tersk" At the age of 16 she was named 1971 Champion of the All USSR
Show. Her three daughters, Nestavennaja (by Salon), Nemezida (by Arax) and Nega
(by Aswan), won Certificates of First Degree at the same show. |
