Azem is the cornerstone of our small stud. A fantastic
stallion that every day enriches us with his pleasant
mind and lovely temperament - a stallion who possesses
the qualities we believe are the backbone to breed good
sound and solid performance horses.
Azem is bred by Stutteri Elbjerg in 1998 and I fell for
him when he was only a few days old, and we got him home
shortly after.
He has since his debut as a breeding sire at 3 years
old, bred several lovely offspring and Azem have been us
a really good stallion. Until 2013, Azem bred 27 OX
offspring, and around half are registered black.
His offspring are scattered in Denmark, Scandinavia and
Europe, to date, he has offspring in Sweden, Norway,
Slovakia and Belgium, which we are very proud and happy
about.
Azem is sired by the russian related Goldmedal stallion
Symba (Vympel x Maggina/Mag),
Symba was bred and owned by Granly Arabians and has only
left a few offspring, and Azem is the only active black
stallion. Symba's sire is the worldfamous stallion
Vympel by Menes, bred by Tersk Stud in Russia-
bloodlines we very much treasure here at our stud.
Maggina has been a successful broodmare with offspring
represented widely from the racetrack to the showring,
and on several occasions she won Gold at Int.-and
Nat.Show and been awarded the title of Reserve Champion.
Her sire, the Champion stallion Mag is also bred at
Tersk Stud and out of a strong damline.
Azem's dam Manuela is sired by the Etat son Amadeuzs and
out of Manjana by Pacific. Manuela was a mare known
especially for her very good movements. Her dam Manjana
was a unique broodmare and among other, dam of the
successful Danish Champion and performance stallion
Mazur by Fynt, as well as several good performance
progeny, in many different disciplines.
Azem is mostly out of Russian bloodlines, with a touch
of Polish/English blood and his dam strain is Keheilet
Ajuz (Jamila Oa 1927).
We have chosen to keep two of his offspring at the stud.
Both offspring possess the best of Azem and also share
his beautiful black color; The stallion A'mir El Zhallan
from 2008 and the mare A'Sweet Surprize from 2009.
Azem has several grandchildren, and many of these have
the sought black colour, and one of these, is his first
grandchild born at our stud in 2015: A'Ameen (Duval x
A'Sweet Surprize/Azem).
Several of Azem's offspring are doing extremely well as
performance horses and in many different disciplines and
many with great success, including among other; Bronze
to DM in Jumping and Silvermedal at the European
Championships Classic Medium Cup.
Since 2009, Azem has not been available to external
mares. We have now decided to only use Azem on our own
mares - and there will occasionally be offspring or
grandchildren for sale by Azem, at Skovsted OX in the
years ahead. |
