Riurik kgi (*Nefison x NM Rostalgia), straight Russian Arabian Stallion

Riurik is our oldest son of our late foundation stallion, the imported *Mag son *Nefison. His dam is our double Nabeg mare NM Rostalgia, who is herself out of the exotic *Nariadni daughter Namusca with a talented racing dam line to the record-setter Prikhot. Riurik has always shown a strong influence from his Nabeg breeding, particularly through *Nariadni, with the substance, athleticism, and working western build which that breeding is known for. Through his sire, Riurik displays the type and style of the *Mag line which *Nefison reproduced consistently for us.

Riurik debuted an exciting western pleasure career in 2011 with Corey James and Emily Zins-James (ATR). Showing huge improvements in each of his three shows, his efforts cumulated in a thrilling 2nd place finish in Western Pleasure Junior Horse and a strong showing in Western Pleasure ATR at the MAHA Fall Classic, proving himself as a competitive western pleasure horse. We couldn't be more proud of what he has accomplished to date and are looking forward to continuing his performance career in 2012, showing open with Corey James and AOTR with Nadia. Through all of his shows his great mind and incredible temperament shone through, making us even more proud of the young stallion he has matured into.

Now proven under saddle we are also excited for Riurik to begin his career as our junior stallion. He will be breeding his first mares in 2012 and standing at stud, please inquire for more details.
