Samska is now in Young Rider endurance home n Italy.
The elegant pure Russian mare Samska, born in 2010,
is the result of crossing Gadebrook’s Premium stallion and
racing champion Sambist with the lovely
endurance mare GAS Skala. Skala's half
sister GAS Strelka has also had a
filly foal by Sambist: GAS Sofiya is now in an endurance home
in Spain.
Samska is in foal to the leading Russian racehorse
and AHS Premium stallion Vadeer, due in early July.
Samska achieved a First Premium and Reserve Highest
Score at the 2012 national BEF Futurity Evaluations (British Equestrian
Federation), proving her potential as a future endurance horse.

Samska is in foal to Vadeer, a dream cross of the two finest
Russian racing pedigrees.
Vadeer is dramatic grey 15.2hh pure Arab AHS Premium stallion
of classic Russian bloodlines; born 1989 by Mamluk (Aswan
x Monogramma) out of Viola (Naftalin by Topol x Salvia).
He was a top-rated Arab racing stallion and the winner
of $77,000. He has sired multiple winners including Ecliptic
(also an AHS Premium stallion), Samehka, Simooma, Salsk,
Khadeer, Desbrie and many more. His top class International
Endurance progeny include VaVaar, VaVaVoom, Lavish, Dear
Kate and Vakate.
Vadeer was an incredibly tough and consistent stallion
on the race course with 10 wins from 26 starts between 1993
and 1995. He set three course records at Market Rasen, Lingfield
and Folkestone. In 2011, he was crowned both “Leading
Premium Endurance Sire” and “Leading Arab Racing
Sire”, the first time the same stallion has won both
titles in the same season. He passes on his incredibly tough
limbs and mental ability to compete enduringly at the highest
level.

of the last from these pure Russian racing lines.

Samska's pedigree blends the blood of the four legendary
Tersk stallions Priboj, Arax, Salon and Aswan, giving balance,
strength, beauty - and speed.
She has a delightful, confident temperament and should make
a good size as her dam did her very well.
Minutes old - but 12 days late, poor
Skala!

As a foal, Samska ran out with her three-quarter sister GAS
Sofiya (right) out of the dramatic white mare GAS Strelka.
Strelka and Skala are both out of the Russian mare Strelitzia.
Both fillies show the elegance and pizzazz of the pure Russian
lines which seem to compete equally successfully in the show
ring as on the race course.
Sofiya is sold to an endurance home in northern Spain.
