| RAKTHA Naseem X Razina Foaled 1934 GSB #988 AHSB #505 SASB #32 Grey Stallion Strain: Kehilan Rodan Exported from the United Kingdom to Barclay East, South Africa in 1951 by AJ Botha of the Hillbury Farm. 1953 South Africa Champion Sire of *Serafix Raktha was foaled in 1934 at the Hanstead Stud and was purchased by Lady Wentworth in 1939. Raktha and Indian Gold (sire of*Serafix's dam *Serafina) were regarded as two of the most important stallions at the Cabbet stud during World War II. Raktha traces back to Naseem and Skowronek and was an extremely beautiful dark dapple grey, slightly heavy in body but still deserving of the British Champion Stallion Title at age 14 in 1948. Raktha was regarded as being very different in temperament from his sire Naseem. Raktha was quiet and easy, a type of horse that was good to take to a show. This stallion was regarded as one of the very few perfect types of Arabian stallion. (The Cabbet Arabian Stud, Its History & Influence by Rosemary Archer, Colin Pearson, Cecil Covey). Raktha is also known for his progeny besides *Serafix, such as his famous sons General Grant out of Lady Yules' Samsie, and Indian Magic out of Indian Crown. Famous daughters were Silverlet (out of Silver Gilt) who went to South Africa along with Bint Razeena. Another daughter, *Silwa, is an American Halter Champion and dam of four champions. *Silwa produced *Silwara, a dam of four National winners including the Canadian National Champion Stallion Tornado. Other famous sons include *Silver Drift (full brother to *Serafix) and Indian Magic, a British National Champion Stallion. |
