**Prince of Orange.**

From Alexia Ross, who wrote: The Prince of Orange was foaled in 1975. He was sired by Roxan - by Count Roland (Count D'Orsaz/Rithyana by Raktha) from Bint Roxana (Greatheart /Roxana by Ruskov). His dam was Corn Marigold - by Zehros (Argos (imp. Polish) /Zehraa by Irex) from Schima (Kami /Rasana by Silver Vanity). That makes him actually 87.5% Old English so probably around 80% Crabbet, with the Polish Argos accounting for 12.5% of his pedigree. He probably inherited his bright chestnut pretty look from Rissla with three crosses to her beautiful son Irex (by Naseem) via Zehraa, Greatheart and Kami's sire Iridos plus further Rissla blood via Count D'Orsaz (by Rissalix), his full sister Kabara (Kami's dam) and Rasana's dam Risseefa (Faris /Risira - Naziri/Rislina - Rafeef /Rissla. Rasana was actually a full sister to Rosemary Archer's Silver Ripple). A Kehailan Rodan Ibn Rualla tracing to Rodania DB in the tale female line via Rissla.

**Shaka (Shanin x Ak Kastana) Egyptian Arabian stallion.**

**The mare Winter Persephone (Shapoor x British National Champion Grey Wood-Nymph) herself Res. Champion Foal at Haydock, with her gray filly by Shaka.**

Nicknamed Mini-Moth this 2 year old colt is by Hawk Moth x Salome Bint Samiha. This horse has beautiful movement and strutted his stuff at liberty. My digital camera is not good for getting action shots, but I can vouch for his lovely movement.

**Lord Darcy (Da Vinci x Polly Marie) a 4 year old stallion. He is for sale.**

**Kossak (Kulak x Holly blue). An athletic stallion offered for sale.**

**Demetrius Drouhin (Zephyrine Drouhin x Holly Blue). Half brother to Kossak both are very similar in build. Strong and sturdy.**
