New Zealand foal born now, planned 1992



Pure Colonial Arabian colt KD Nitro has just been born at KD Stud in New Zealand. He's the result of several generations of planning. His sire is my former Arabian racehorse and Kikkuli Experiment stallion Cudglebar Rasuli*, and his dam is the double Santiago granddaughter Hyksos Nysa. The photo here of KD Nitro is taken when he was less than 24 hours old, and the photo of Santiago taken when he was 21 y.o.
Santiago was by the Malik by the Rakib* son NEMO who was out of the famous endurance progneitor SHALAMAR (bred by Cudglebar in the days before their prefix). Santiago's dam Loleta was by Baz, a full brother to Bahri, both sons of Rakib*. Loleta's dam Leto was by Sala* from the Jelbart mare Buraida who was intensely Shahzada* bred.
I bred my endurance mare Rose Park Lady Rakai (who also did the Kikkuli Experiment and was by Bahri himself) to Santiago to produce a filly to breed to Cudglebar Rasuli*, and after getting two fillies, Hyksos Trysting and Hyksos Red Rum (both exported to New Zealand), bred Cudglebar Symphony to Santiago in the hope of producing a colt (that happened, his name... Hyksos Vangelis) to put to Trysting when he grew up, with the hope that they would produce a filly (that happened, her name... Hyksos Nysa*) that could eventually be put to Cudglebar Rasuli* to produce a colt. Whew!! Well, that long-term plan has just been brought to fruition, in the form of KD Nitro.
