Arabian - Gilbriar Arabian Horses in Texas

Sires

WR Firestorm
sire of 60+ registered Arabians

Firestorm was our sire. He was the only one that we owned and stood.
We got him as a youngster and owned him until his death. Prior to him, we had bred to Gdansk, trying to build a band of Gdansk daughters. Once that was accomplished, we leased O'Epic for one season to breed our mares. The following year, we leased Gai Phazada to breed our mares. The next year we bought WR Firestorm; we bred all of all mares to him every year from then on. He produced beautiful, intellegent, athletic foals with sweet dispositions. He was a joy to handle and we are thrilled to have had him.

Gdansk was one of the greats! His influence on the breed can't be summed up in a single paragraph. He not only sired many champions and national winners, his get have sired and produced many champions and national winners. He also had many beautiful daughters who like ours, were always treasured, but never shown. His record as a sire includes double National Champion Bint Miss Fire (who sold at auction for $500,000), Baja Dansk ( winner of $100,000 Arabian Racing Cup and track record holder), and Twin Fir Julio ( 14 time national winning family horse). In 1984 the Gdansk daughters sold at auctions brought an average of $133,000 each. We are very proud to have known him and to have had so many of his beautiful daughters.

A full brother to Gdansk, Canadian National Park Champion Cognac is a noted sire of horses with tremendous athletic ability. Cognac is the sire of two National Champion Park horses, Miss Cognac (who sold at auction for $600,000) and Cutty Water. He also had a great disposition:

"Years ago I used to care for Cognac at Lasma in Prospect, KY (1981-82). I couldn't think of a horse more deserving of a long life. Cognac was the sweetest, most gentle stallion I have ever handled.
If your stallion is anything like his sire, you have a gem!" Carol Murabito April 7, 2001

Saw your web page, just had to write and say that Cognac, age 31, is retired at my farm.
He is a beautiful horse, with an excellent temperament. He follows me wherever I go, that he can." Susan Olson Feb. 15, 2001

	Maternal grandsire of our stallion WR Firestorm

One of the things we love best about our stallion's pedigree, is that he's a Gaffizon grandson. We like to pick up the Ferzon blood whenever we can, because Ferzon is known for producing such pretty heads. And if it doesn't look like an Arabian, we're not interested. We were lucky enough to see both Gaffizon ++ and his dam Gaffi before they were exported to South America. Each of them is a perfect vision of what Arabian horses should look like.

Fire Wind's founder at age three, ruined what had been a very promising show career. Until then he had done very well at halter and showed great promise as a western pleasure horse. In spite of his lameness, he went on to become one of Bask's best siring sons. At one point he had the highest percentage of national winners of any Bask son. Among his many winners are: Oui - 1982 US Nat. Champ. Futurity Filly, 1983 Can. Nat. Champ. Mare, 1983 US Top Ten Mare, 1984 US Top Ten Mare Wind Fashion - 1983 US National Champion Futurity Filly and dam of Gilbriar Bandowin Wind Feature - 1984 US Top Ten Futurity Filly and full sister to Wind Fashion.
