This beautiful mare from the so-called "Danish W” line is founded by the well known German-bred mare Warissa. Warissa’s influence is immortal in Danish Arab horse breeding. With an international pedigree including bloodlines from Crabbet, Egypt, Poland, Argentina and Germany, Warissa was most often bred to El Mokari (who has become a legend in Denmark). She has the feminine beauty of harmonious balance with the classic face and characteristic big black eyes that are the very special “Warissa heritage” and which are passed on from generation to generation.
This mare was saved as by coincidence; when one day I heard about a beautiful and gentle mare my attention was caught. I drove up as soon as possible and spotted her from far away. When examining her from closer she was in very bad shape; nevertheless I decided to buy her. As soon as she got home a long recovery period from about a year started. Both the vet and the blacksmid told me if she was not been taken care of she would have died within 14 days! Her only daughter till date was found starved to dead on the field.

grey Mare, 1996, Straight Spanish.
Rastana Bint Estopa was born in 1986, bred by Om El Arab, born in the Santa Ynez Valley in California and moved to the Black Forest in Germany, with Heinz Rudiger Merz in 1992.
Rastana is a tall and strongly build mare with that typical Om El Arab look. Unfortunately she was never backed for riding and only used as a breeding mare.
She is a daughter of Bint Estopa (Golden Cross) by Rastano (Pure Spanish), which makes her to be a Golden Cross mare. She was 17 when we discovered her in October 2002. Four years later she got her first foal with us on 22 Apr 2006 at 04hrs47min. and carried for 356 days. SDA Shaklana is a very pretty filly from which we expect a lot.
Her daughter Rashana Bint Estashan performed well during the very few outings on the showground placing 2nd in her class, at the Bordeaux Masters 2003, and 3rd in her class at Luxembourg show 2005.
Her son Rohandan is performing very well in Endurance Rides!
