SGA BLOODLINES
SGA is based on stock from the famous BOSTOCKS stud - and their strong bodied mares with excellent action, substance, quality and breed type. All our domestic stock are descended from the mare lines of NEFERTITI and FANTASY. Fantasy was a daughter of the imported Irex mare SCHERZADE, herself a producer extraordinaire. Nefertiti's line traces back, through generations, to the mare DAHNA - imported direct from CrabbetPark by Sir James Boucaut in 1891.
The four major Bostocks stallion imports are prominent in all our domestic stock.

COUNT MANILLA*
(Count Dorsaz ex Namilla)
KEHAILAN RODAN
Bred at the Hanstead Stud of Lady Yule, he was the mainspring of BOSTOCKS Stud. His sire, Count Dorsaz, was a major winner under saddle in the U.K. and at the Royal International Horse Show (Twice awarded the Sir Winston Churchill Cup for Supreme Ridden Horse of the show.) The acclaimed action that stems from BERK through his daughter RISSLA to her son RISSALIX was inherited by Count Dorsaz and passed on through his own son Count Manilla.
'Nilla' was already a Champion under saddle in the U.K before his importation to Australia. He was Champion Arabian Stallion six times at Brisbane Royal - and retired TWO Lady May Abel Smith Cups by his consecutive HAT TRICK wins! He also won the Sires Progeny groups at Brisbane Royal no less than ten times.
As a sire he successfully established in one generation a type referred to across the nation as 'BOSTOCKS' - and for that stud he established a very successful line of broodmares - the truly significant ones being the Tou Fail daughter NEFERITITI - and the Scherzade* daughter FANTASY - the only domestic mare lines we have at SGA.

CRYSTAL FIRE*
(Dargee ex Rosinella*)
KEHAILAN RODAN
The Bostocks sire most celebrated across the nation for his outstanding action. 'Crystal' was imported with an already extensive show record, particularly under saddle.
In his pedigree once again, lines to the significant mare RISSLA and also her full sister RYTHMA are mirrored in the tail female lines of both his sire and dam. The combination passed down a full measure of the outstanding BERK action.
'Crystal' was a brilliant mover with a beautiful temperament who sired some really outstanding mares particularly out of daughters of Count Manilla. Mares the calibre of Miraya, Capricious, Kastana, Electra, Fire Glow and Lady Crysan have shaped breeding programs in Australia and overseas.
Unfortunately 'Crystal' was not used extensively by outside breeders due to the amount of white he carried but today his blood is sought out by breeders and his descendants excell under saddle and in endurance.

AK JABAL IBN MONIET*
(Ibn Moniet el Nefous ex Roufah)
SAKLAWI JEDRAN OF IBN SUDAN
The last significant sire imported into the Bostocks stud was the big chestnut straight Egyptian from the USA who combined the substance, strength and saddle ability of the reknowned Babson breeding program with the modern Egyptian breeding lines sourced from the EAO.
Jabal was a total outcross to the incumbent Hanstead / Crabbet lines but again the emphasis was on strongly built, good moving, saddle horse type and as a bonus he possessed the extra fire, quality and exhuberence that instilled much of his progeny. He went on to sire a whole new generation of superb show ring winners and saddle horses from the Bostocks mares.

His multi champion son Torryburn Jaseem greatly influenced our breeding here at SGA and our Bostocks line program owes a great deal to this outstanding individual and sire.

ABIRAM*
(Noran ex Rythoura)
KEHAILAN AJUZ OF THE DAJANI
The last of the BOSTOCKS BIG THREE! Abiram features prominently in our lines. He was another stallion with strong Hanstead connections - and once again the emphasis was on ACTION!
His sire Noran was out of the double RISSLA bred mare Nerinora - while RYTHMA features again as his maternal grand dam! When Abiram was bred to daughters of Crystal Fire and Count Manilla - an abundance of this blood celebrated for producing ACTION resulted!
In Australia he was shown successfully a number of times at Brisbane Royal - but his innate ability under saddle and his strength in passing this trait and his lovely action to his progeny were his real accomplishments. Vibrant, athletic and a glorious bay - he sired a new generation of the BOSTOCKS type.
Two of our Torryburn bred foundation mares were out of prominent Abiram daughters and they have both inherited and passed on, his beautiful free flowing action and great style - they were both profoundly saddle horses.
