Taib Gazlan / Navarra / Edhem (O’Bajan I-26)
Olivero was foaled in Germany and imported as a yearling to Canada by Shannon McCracken. His bloodlines are, in the words of Adele Furby, “packed with well-known and well-respected ancestors.” Olivero’s sire Taib Gazlan received very high scores and was proclaimed Reserve Champion at his licensing in Neustadt Dosse. He impressed the judges with his nobility, harmony, and rideability. His character was especially commended, for which he got the score 10 at the licensing. Taib Gazlan is by the elite stallion Tibor, who was bred by Ruth Pack at Reichshof Stud, for many years one of the most important Shagya breeding stations in Germany. While Tibor’s sireline represents classical Babolna bloodlines stemming from Gazal VII and the elite mare Babolna, his dam is Tatjana, another elite mare and an outcross with highly-respected Romanian endurance bloodlines. In fact, in the third generation, all four of Olivero’s female ancestors are elite mares: Tatjana, Ayda, Nedda, and Dalileh.
Olivero’s dam Obeya is by Navarra, whose dam Nedda (mentioned above) appears twice in his pedigree through her sons Navarra and Nasrallah—both elite stallions. Obeya is also a full sister to the approved stallion Orpheus II (pictured here). Obeya’s damline is largely Danish, with the stallion Edhem bred by Ulla Nyegaard and the mare Dalileh who was imported to Denmark by Nyegaard from Topolcianky in Slovakia. Obeya is characterized by a very nice, typey appearance with fine, dry, and elegant limbs. Her dam Oya was herself approved in the ZSAA studbook with high scores, and produced excellent offspring.
Olivero presents a deep pedigree with a harmonious combination of the original Shagya studfarms founded by the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1789, including Babolna in Hungary, Radautz in Romania, and Topolcianky in Slovakia.

Breeding Notes
Olivero has correct conformation, with a strong foundation, great feet, and a long, substantial frame. He has a high-set neck, good pillar of support, long, sloping shoulders, medium-angled humerus, equal alignment between his ilium and femur sides, low stifle placement, and fair alignment between his point of hip and the lumbosacral gap. Mares crossed to Olivero should not be overly long-framed and/or have weak coupling of the hindquarters. As a sire, Olivero will refine larger, heavier mares, while increasing height and bone with smaller, overly refined mares. His two purebred Shagya-Arabian daughters are 16’1 h (165cm) and 15’2 h (159cm), while a Trakehner daughter is 16’2 h. He will add elegance and type, settle temperaments, and increase athleticism and willingness to work. He stamps his lovely trot with good suspension and ground cover.
At his evaluation the judges praised his temperament, masculine type, good sloping shoulder, and jumping ability. His walk was judged as fluid but a little close (7), his trot as smooth with adequate ground cover (7), and his canter also as smooth with adequate ground cover (7).
Olivero has no purebred Arabians to the 4th generation (16/16), making him very high percentage Shagya and therefore an excellent cross for purebred Arabian mares looking to produce endurance or versatile sporthorse foals.
