Raves and Roses an unbeliveable pretty filly in Wyoming 2000

Roses entered our lives in 2000. She simply caught our hearts .Her fabulous head and neck, lovely expression full of joy and curiosity , wonderful conformation and charisma were the reasons why we felt in love with her as a weanling. We bought her from Talking Waters Ranch in Wyoming USA, from whom we purchased too our multiple halter winner Khaptivating Lady.

It was also the opportunity for us to meet their breeder Bobby Stukenhoff a fabulous individual and horsewoman.

Roses is sired by the sensational bay stallion Rave VF, the full brother of the US National champion stallion Fame VF. Rave was exported in Australia where he left some excellent offpspring. Later after Fame's death he came back to the States and then was purchased by the Stuckenhoff family. He won top honors as a Reserve National Champion stallion title AOTH and in 1999 he was named US National Champion in western pleasure. Quite a success.

Benraz was of crabbet breeding being a son of famous Ben Rabba a son of Aurab. Benraz has a list of wins too long to be included here, he was bred by the Soltau family and he still belongs to them. Born in 1971 this flashy chestnut stallion with high white markings was the essence of the show horse. Beautiful with several wins in halter and most classic and was outstanding under saddle. His first appearance at the National level was in 1978 at Canadian Nationals where he was named National Champion in ladies side saddle and Top Ten in english pleasure. The year after he won a Scottsdale's reserve championship in Native Costume as well as a Top Five in english pleasure and at US Nationals, he won two Top ten's in Arabian mounted native costume and in ladies side saddle. His last entrance at the National level was in 1981 and he was National Champion Native Costume. Many other victories at the Pacific Slopes and Regionals. He was one of a kind .

Benraz and High Fashion Camaar

He crossed very well with Hi Fashion Camaar a grey mare born in 1974 and daughter of Camiraff , she was the dam of 13 foals and most of her daughters became outstanding producers. Tracing to Azraff, Indraff, Gamaar, Ferzon, Raseyn, Ferseyn etc … all the dam line of MFA Coming Up Roses contains more than 20 times the stallion Skoroneck, the foundation stallion of Crabbet Park.

With a world famous sire line and a priceless tail female tracing to the source of the arabians who made our breed's history we have the highest hopes in Roses future as a producer and in the show ring, she should be shown as a senior mare halter in Europe and started under saddle this fall.
