From
our Arieana Notebook: From out of Berk's
last registered foal crop we find the beautiful Tahdik, a bay mare who
had several owners in her lifetime throughout various parts of our country.
Tahdik
was sold by her breeder,
W.R. Brown, from his Maynesboro Stud in New Hampshire to Randall Davey of New
Mexico. He in his
turn sold her to John A. George of Indiana, who in his turn sold her to
Walter Gillis of Texas, her last owner of record. No death date is
listed.
Tahdik made very important and lasting contributions to our
breed through her foals. As the dam of 9 purebred registered foals
(2 colts and 7 fillies), we at Arieana Arabians look in our
pedigrees to her daughter Tamar who carried forward her rare
Wild Thyme dam line on to her grandson, the magnificent Tamarlane. For those following their interests in Arabian racing, the name of Tahdik's son Rajil and his
daughter Rajilita Ku will come to mind in association with the Kubela
Ranch of Texas and their famous Arabian racing and breeding program centered on their CMK stallion
Kontiki.
Proud of the speed, athleticism, and
heart that Tahdik passed on to her foals, we at Arieana Arabians
saw these traits and
qualities as one of several very special reasons for our breeding Gleeful
Pico to Tikis Regal Heir, a double Kontiki grandson. The resulting two
foals, LP Shaan Tiki and LP
Faarah Tiki, are superb Arabian Sport Horses still satisfying their current owners
with their size and strength, beauty, balanced form-to-function
conformation, stamina and versatility for long-distance pleasure riding, wins showing
in-hand and under saddle, and
for their most amiable and willing dispositions.
