Catrin Samiir^+M

(Fawley Samarai x Ros  Skybird)

Catrin Samiir, known at home as Sami, is a grey purebred Arabian gelding foaled on the 12th January 1999.  He was the first foal bred by us  and the first foal for his dam, our original Crabbet related foundation mare Ros Skybird.  Sky has since been lost to us after a battle with colic, she gave us 3 lovely colts.  As the first of these, Sami has been retained as Kathi's riding horse to perpetuate the memory of his dam  at the stud.

His name "Samiir" was chosen as it is Arabic for companion - and this is just what he is!  Sami is  a wonderful personality, who can often be found romping in his paddock at  leisure, playing with his favourite paddock toy - a "Jolly" ball!  When not relaxing at home he is often found in the show ring where he has proven to be successful in hand with several Championships and Reserves at 'A' and 'B' class shows.  Sami was judged Supreme Purebred Arabian at  the 2003 Harvey Agricultural Show and was awarded 2003 State Reserve Champion Led Purebred Gelding shown by an Amateur.  He has been  started under saddle and attends many adult riding club rally days with  Kathi.  He is also a wonderful "Uncle" for the foals, keeping them  company at weaning time and has been adopted by Kathi and Glenn's son, Alec, as "his" horse.  Sami is a special horse whose temperament epitomizes the close relationship an Arabian can have with "his" humans!

Sami is currently on lease to Karly Miller - we wish them all the best in their new partnership!
