A bay endurance mare (born 2004) by AHS Premium stallion Crystal Magic (who was also bred at Gadebrook) out of British National Champion Kumasha.

Kalish now starting Endurance career with Affinity Training.

Kalish took Rebecca Parsler to second place nationally in the 2017 Pony Club Endurance Championship as reported in the Endurance GB Magazine, below. Rebecca is bringing Kalish to the AHS Centenary Parade of Ridden Champions at the National Horse Racing Museum 2018

 

 

 

'Horse & Hound' covered Kalish’s first attempt at a CEI* 80km International race at The Royalties in October 2015, ridden by Richard Allen - which she won! Her seven-year old son, Hussam by Sambist, also competed at the event, but at Novice level.

Kalish then competed in a CEI** 120km race in Brittany in November.

Kalish competes bare foot and carries riders of all weights - no offence Richard - and in all sorts of competitions, such as Trec below.

Kalish came third out of 17 in 50-mile section of 2013 British National Endurance Championships on 13 July at King's Forest in sweltering heat of 27 degrees
Ridden by Susan Hawes.
Kalish has all his energy, speed and powerful movement, combined with the affectionate nature and elegance of her dam, the lovely Kumasha who, in her day, was a triple National Champion Ridden Mare: at the AHS Show at Malvern; at the UK International and at the Horse of the Year Show.

Kalish produced a striking bay colt to our Premium stallion Sambist in April 2008 named Hussam - the fourth generation of Gadebrook breeding.

We hope 9-year old home-bred mare Kalish will move from Advanced level endurance to FEI* after two more 80 kms Rides. Her success under saddle last year in endurance, ridden by Caroline Hawes, earned them 4th place in the Junior national Performance Horse Awards at first attempt.

Hussam, Kalish's son by Sambist, is now 5 and will come out in Novice endurance this year.

     
     

Kalish is also ridden by Susan Hawes - normally seen on our Binley Prince Salim. She finds her very forward going and tireless.

Kalish was backed in summer 2007 and went well under saddle. Trainer Kit Rolfe's helper, Jodie introduced her to jumping which she enjoys.
