When we saw her, we just couldn’t resist as Jalina is linebred to the fantastic amber champagne stallion Khalvin Khlein KpM, who we sadly lost to old age in 2023! She is a German Riding Pony with 59% Arabian. Champagne foals are born with bright blue eyes, which later color to amber. Particularly striking is the special shine that is inherent in the Champagne gene and which is reminiscent of the shine of the Akhal Teke.
It is a dream for breeders but also an absolute eye-catcher for the ambitious rider.
Both her father and the mother’s half-brother passed their stallion performance test with TOP marks and were awarded as performance stallions. Khasanova (by Khalvin Khlein KpM) convinces above all with a first-class step and enormous rideability and willingness to perform. Jamila’s mother was premium awarded as a foal and then again as a breeding mare when she was 3 years old.
Khasanova completed his performance test in Munich in autumn 2017 and passed with the dream grade of 8.03. He received absolute dream marks from the training manager: 9.0 for character and sociability, performance and stride! He also received an 8.0 for trot, rideability, jumping ability (free jumping and pace jumping) and even an 8.5 in the cross-country and for willingness to learn and perform! The outside riders also rated his rideability with a smooth 9.0!! Unfortunately, on the day of the test, he was a bit “over-motivated” when jumping and was given deductions because he reacted unwillingly when the obstacles pulled on him when he was held back. So he ended up getting a few 7s. What was also striking here was his great stride, which was rated 9.0, with an average of 7.67 for the test group.
All of Khasanova’s foals have been awarded prizes so far, many of them with grades above 8, only Saiwa just missed the prize, but was still extremely young at the branding date. Lady Aquila took first place at the state show in her very strong class. His mother won the state show both as a foal and as a three-year-old and then, to top it off, she also became the three-year-old national champion mare Pinto in the ZfdP. Some of her children also became state champion foals. She now has 3 licensed sons. Khasanova’s father Khalvin is known for his very rideable and productive offspring and he also has several licensed sons and grandchildren. Khalvin had the most amazing temperament ever, and the riders on his 30 day stallion test in Germany loved him – just as we did. Jubilar, father of Judith, competed as Pony against Warmbloods in Jmnping class M. Khasanova is SCID and CA free, just as Khalvin Khlein KpM.
This means, that even though we bought her because of her color – she is homozygous champagne – and her relationship to our beloved stallion Khalvin, we have the best possibilities to breed top class performance riding ponies with her. Jalina herself was awarded as a premium foal in Germany, and even though we have not been able to merit her ourselves after that due to my big stomach hernia that needed surgery in 2023, we are very happy with her development and personality. She is also a fantastic mother!

Our beloved Khalvin Khlein KpM who we had to put to sleep last year is behind every of our champagne breedings:
Gwendolyn Gregorio reported:
“Khalvin Khlein KpM, the imported US APb (Arabian Partbred) stallion was approved with the German Arabian Breed Association ZSAA on 11th/12th of May 2001. He scored a sensational 8 for type and trot! Comment of the breeding director for his performance: jumps with great elastic bascule and very good technique, outstanding trot with great elasticity and very good balance, beautiful type and great stallion presence.”
When Khalvin was approved on his 30-day stallion test in Germany he got 10 on his mentality and we can tell you already that this is something hos offsprings have inherited.
