CONSULT FOR: SILVER DREAM


DREAM is a mare of excellent type and conformation.
Her strengths include a very typey head, long neck, correct
legs and plume tail carriage. Her back could be a bit shorter and
her neck set on a bit higher.

SILVER DREAM's pedigree is linebred to RAKTHA, sire of
*SILVER DRIFT and *SERAFIX, and also features close lines to
other significant Crabbet horses. Historically, such mares
have been highly compatible with *BASK++ and his sons, and with
KHEMOSABI++++ and his sons. The nick with a stallion of the
*BASK++ sire line or KHEMOSABI++++ sire line is proven in
production of National winners in halter and performance.
Should a saddleseat performance horse be sought, my
recommendation would be to breed SILVER DREAM to a *BASK++
son whose dam side goes back to CMK foundation stock to
linebreed to the bottom part of her pedigree. 

A good choice for her would be Canadian National Champion Park 
REIGN ON, who has sired National winners in saddleseat performance 
including NEW MARKET, and in halter including NH ESCAPADE(whose dam
BRU BET BASSERA has a line to *SERAFIX, as does SILVER DREAM). REIGN 
ON could raise SILVER DREAM's neck set and shorten her back, while 
retaining her typiness and good legs. His park performance at the 
1986 Scottsdale show is still the standard to which I compare all
others--he was the best that day, and the performance was
the best park performance I have seen.

For a western/hunt seat style offspring, SILVER DREAM could
ideally be bred to a KHEMOSABI++++ son, preferably one with a
good head and overall smoothness and a CMK dam line. This nick
would probably shorten up the back of the resultant foal, while
contributing the breed type, good legs, and sweet temperament for
which the KHEMOSABI++++ line is noted.
