Foundation mare
Bay mare, 1984
Bred by: Beit El Kheil Arabians

Sapalas sire Cadyk is a bay son of El Paso – 1976 US National Champion Stallion. El Paso is also the sire of Wizja - 1977 US National Champion Mare, Europejczyk - Polish Race horse of the Year and 1988 Polish National Champion Stallion, Etogram - 1994 Polish National Champion Stallion, 1994 Babolna International Champion Stallion, 1996 Norwegian and Swedish National Champion Stallion. Cadyks dam Cumparsita is by Gwarny and out of Carmen, the dam of the legendary Comet. Cadyk raced for six years at the racetrack in Warsaw before he was imported to Sweden. He was shown here four times with four wins, four gold-medals and three championships, including 1983 Swedish National Champion Stallion. Cadyk was exported in 1983 to USA together with his daughter El Mokka.

Sapalas damline traces down to the incomparable mare Saga and her daughter Sakla by Amurath Sahib. The full-sisters Sakla (in Sweden) and Estokada (in Poland) have made their own dynasties with extraordinary horses like Emigrantka, Estebna, Medalj, Salexja and Esklawa. Sapalas dam Saldara is a daughter of the Swedish National Champion Stallion Dardir and out of the Algier-daughter Salamalaika. Saldara is also the dam of Saleta - 1988 Swedish National Junior Champion Mare.

Sapala is a powerful mare with great movements. She is a friendly mare that seems to charm everyone. She was not broken to ride when I bought her in 1991, so I started to ride her when she was 8 years old. After she got Siniak I concentrated on our western riding for a couple of years then I bred her to Elton. Sapala is the perfect mother and she loves everyone that is small – foals, dogs and children. It is a shame that she only have got five offsprings this far because they have all been very excellent.
