NM Rostalgia (RV Rostov x Namusca), straight Russian Arabian mare

Rossi will always have a very special place in the history of our breeding program as our first straight Russian broodmare. She was sired by the *Monokl son RV Rostov and was the only straight Russian daughter of the exotic *Nariadni daughter Namusca, a product of the famed *Nariadni/*Muscat cross with the sought after racing dam line to the record-setter Prikhot (Sport x Perikola), a dam line shared through Perikola's daughter Pasta with US stakes winner Fast Ptrack. Rossi had two full brothers who were both successful performance horses. Nebula was a Regional Reserve Champion in Hunter Pleasure Select and a Class A winner in Walk/Trot Pleasure 10 and under, while Sand Dancer completed 130 endurance miles.

Rossi had the structure and athleticism that can be expected from her double Nabeg breeding and she passed it on consistently, producing substantial foals with great bone and the hips the Arax/Nabeg line is known for. She was one of our favourite crosses with *Nefison, producing our successful western pleasure stallion and sire Riurik kgi and her replacement broodmare Prelusion kgi. We were extremely impressed by how she crossed with Magadan kgi, producing an outstanding colt for her lessee in 2012 who tragically died as a yearling. We are looking forward to enjoying Rossi's continuing influence in our program through both her son and daughter.
