Penelope JSI

Penelope JSI (Penny) is a lovely purebred chestnut filly born June 20, 2026. She has a refined, elegant head with a medium neck, a short back and an uphill build, as well as long correct legs. Unlike her forward and confident dam and uterine sister Poppy JSI, Penny is shy, gentle, and calm, with an easy and submissive temperament.

Bugatti Eclat SH is a purebred Shagya-Arabian stallion, born October 23, 2022, in the United States, bred by Shelley Child, and standing at Annorien Sporthorses in Ann Arbor, Michigan. His sire, Karol du Cavallon, is a French-bred Shagya-Arabian by Carol (Italy, 1995) out of Kohelia (Germany, 1992)—a pedigree rooted in the endurance and long-distance racing tradition that produced some of the most durable and metabolically efficient horses in the breed’s modern history. Carol competed successfully in FEI endurance and produced nearly 90 foals, recognized as the progenitor of successful endurance horses; his son Alto de Traclin achieved the world number one ranking in FEI endurance in 2022. Karol du Cavallon himself was approved Book I at his NASS inspection with scores of 9 for type, 9 for neck, and 9 for walk, and was specifically noted for good jumping ability and good bascule. Kohelia’s dam Koheilan XXVI-9 carries the Koheilan desert blood that Frielinghaus identified as a consistent source of the breed’s “dry bone” quality and resistance to soft tissue stress under sustained work. Bugatti’s dam, Bajara Silver SH (USA, 2016, 15.0h/153cm), is by Sterling Silver AF out of Brook PFF. Sterling Silver AF is a son of *Shandor—the 16.1h stallion whose “big, powerful, elastic movements,” “superior jumping ability,” and unusual size for a purebred Shagya-Arabian made him the defining performance sire of his generation in North America—out of Sapphire (by Oman × Szikra). Sterling Silver AF was the highest-scoring stallion at his NASS inspection, averaging 8.13 with Walk 9 and Trot 9. Brook PFF is by Bold Bravo AF (Hungarian Bravo × Aminah) out of Bridget (Almos × Bravita AF), concentrating the Hungarian Bravo line that has been the primary size and frame engine in the North American Shagya-Arabian population. Through Bajara Silver SH, Bugatti carries *Shandor in the third generation and Hungarian Bravo in the fourth—the two ancestors most directly responsible for the warmblood-scale frame and elastic movement that define the breed’s modern sport horse apex. Bugatti Eclat SH is registered NASS/ShA-22-330 and is currently in his first proven crop, preparing for his 2026 inspection.

Backwoods Perfect (“Edie”) is a purebred Shagya-Arabian mare, born April 21, 2016, in the United States, bred by Holly and Andrew Haddenham. She stands 15.3h (160cm) with 19.5cm bone. Her sire, Wineglass Ominous, is by Oman (by O’Bajar, 16h, Germany 1982) out of Wineglass Madeira; from this paternal line Edie inherits elegance, toughness, and jump, including the influence of Bajar—one of the few Shagya-Arabians whose jumping talent was recognized by the Holsteiner Verband, which licensed him for use in warmblood breeding. Her dam, RAA’s Perry, is by Murad (by Shaman/Sharif D, by Pamino/O’Bajan XX) out of Philomena (by Jeremias out of Pythia). From the well-known dressage-bred stallions Shagal, Shaman, and Amor she inherits height, bone, and movement quality. From Gazal VII she inherits the elasticity and scope the line is documented to produce across every generation. Edie is highly people-oriented, kind, and gentle, with easy rideability characteristic of the O’Bajan temperament inheritance. At her TANA inspection she received 52.5 points, was appointed premium mare candidate, and High Point non-Trakehner mare, approved Book 1.

Edie has produced two purebred Shagya-Arabian foals prior to this mating: a 2024 colt by Wineglass Dionysus (Max / Budapest / Atmandu ox), and a 2025 filly by Rio Bravo AF (Janos / Hungarian Bravo / Alcibiades ox)—the latter is Poppy JSI, currently projected to exceed 16.1h. This production record confirms that Edie carries size genetics that are not limited by her own 15.3h phenotype.

Penny unites the *Shandor/Hungarian Bravo size architecture of Bugatti’s dam line with the Gazal VII/O’Bajar/Bajar jump mechanics of Edie’s paternal line, producing a pedigree with 21 crosses to Gazal VII and meaningful concentrations of Oman (15.63%, 4×4), Shandor (7.81%, 5×5), and Bartok (7.81%, 5×5, AGR 18.4%). The COI of 4.455% reflects purposeful linebreeding without genetic bottleneck.
