Shadow is 15.2h and produces very tall foals that have long legs, necks, natural flagged tail carriage and can really trot.

IV Silver Shadow's only Half-Arabian Filly was exported from the US to Costa Rica as a weanling. Shadow's foals are very special, not only for their excellent breeding and size, but also for the joy of owning a unique work of nature's art in one of it's most beautiful forms. Like a fine wine, they become their most radiant with age.

 *Grojor is a son of the exceptionally beautiful grey Arabian stallion, *Exelsjor who was a Swedish National Champion and European Champion. Exelsjor was born in 1963 at Janow Podlaski (Poland). He was imported to Sweden in 1964 and imported to the USA in 1970 where he died by an accident in 1978.
*Grojor's dam, Grobla was the 1975 Swedish National Champion Mare.  Grobla's dam, *Gwadiana, was a mare of immeasurable worth to worldwide Arabian breeding as the aristocrat dam of eight champions including US Reserve & Canadian National Champion Stallion and Park Gwalior, Top Ten Stallions Gwiazdor and Grandorr, Top Ten Mare Show Girl and the good sires Gwasz El Azjaa and Gwar who sired the 2 time National Reserve Champion Park Horse Rawar.. Two of Gwadiana's daughters would gain fame through their grandget: Gwyn as the dam of Gwyndalyn, dam of National Champion Stallion and important sire Strike; and Gwozdawa as the dam of US Reserve National Champion English & Western Pleasure Gdynia, who produce include the invaluable sires Gdansk and Cognac as well as the mares Gardenia, Garnet and Granaada.
 Grobla's sire, El Trypolis was a Polish Chief Sire by Trypolis. Trypolis was bred by Janow Podlaski. He was a Polish Sire of Significance. Esteemed as one of the most beautiful and athletic stallions of the early post-war period, TRYPOLIS is highly sought after in Arabian pedigrees. TRYPOLIS had the distinct honor of siring at Janow Podlaski during the war, and at each of the three new studs - Albigowa, Nowy Dwor and Michalow - under the state controlled breeding program, giving valuable get at each location. His greatest attributes were his spectacular forehand, marked by a beautiful head, a long, highly set, well arched neck, a long, well-laid back shoulder, a wide, deep chest and well conformed forelimbs. Despite his poorer hindquarter construction, TRYPOLIS was a splendid mover with a long, powerful, sweeping stride. He is best remembered for siring excellent daughters, whose produce have had great impact on breeding programs around the world. TRYPOLIS is also credited for continuing the sire line of Krzyzyk, Poland's oldest tail male line directly imported from the desert. Shadow has multiple crosses on her sire and dam side to Trypolis in her pedigree.
 Shadow's dam, Silver Dreamm's lineage traces to the beautiful Pure Polish bay Arabian stallion, *El Paso, "The Horse that money could not buy", set a record for the greatest amount of money ever paid for an Arabian Stallion to be imported into the US. *El Paso went on to be named a National Champion Arabian stallion and subsequently was syndicated and sired many National Champion get as well as having many National Champion grand get. *El Paso was a grandson of the legendary Polish Arabian stallion, Witraz, who was also the sire of *Bask. Witraz plays a strong role in Shadow's lineage through his daughters Eleonora, twice and his daughter Ellora, the dam of *El Paso.
Six El Paso offspring were imported to Sweden, in 1978 by the renowned Swedish breeder, Mr. Erik Erlandsson.  One of these was CZAPRAK (Czatanoga), a bay stallion who produced 23 offspring before he was exported to USA two years later. Czaprak became a Swedish National Champion Stallion. *Czaprak was syndicated and stood at in CA and was "internationally acclamined as the best son of *El Paso" in 1984. His get averaged over $50,000 in auctions at that time. Czaprak is the sire of *Silver Dreamm an imported mare from Sweden and the dam of IV Silver Shadow. As you might guess, the "silver"in Silver Shadow traces to one of the all time Crabbet bred horses - Silver Drift. Silver Drift can be found on many Champion Arabian horses' pedigrees around the World.
Shadow was professionally trained under saddle as a 3 year old and has won blue ribbons in Open Local Shows.
