Our Leading Men 2000 – 2020

DESPERADO

S K SHAKLA KHAN

PC STUART VESTY As a new decade begins, I thought it was time to look back not only at the most successful sires of show champions, as we do every year, but also to take a look at the stallions who have sired the most progeny over the last twodecades.

Between 31 July 2000 and 1 August 2020, of all the purebred Arabian foals registered in the Australian studbook, 2942 foals were sired by the 53 stallions who make up our Top 50 Chart, each siring 35 or more registered purebred foals during the timeperiod.

A further 55 stallions sired a total of 1598 foals, each siring between 25 and 34 registered purebred foals during the timeperiod.

During my study, I found it extremely interesting to discover the bloodlines featured in this list are a lot more diverse to what we are used to seeing on our Leading Sires of Show Champions chart. Of course, many of the names are the same, however this diversity of stallions and bloodlines showcases the wonderful and varied purposes for which Arabians are bred in this country.

I have also included the sire and dam line for each stallion, based on the original horse imported to Australia. In the case of imported stallions, their sire and dam will be listed.

The All Time Leading Sires list does not look likely to change in any great detail for the foreseeable future, with only two stallions (Desperado and Crave FF) in the Top 50 still alive and breeding. With the steady decline in numbers being bred today, it appears that these stallions will remain our All Time Leading Sires for indeed, all time.
