Depeszówka+
Depe is a modern Polish Arabian filly custom I did in 2015. Her name refers to the 80's East European subculture of depeszowcy (Russian: depeshisty) - youths who liked Depeche Mode and would attire accordingly. Depe was built from a Peter Stone Arabian body originally sculpted by Kitty Cantrell, and was painted black - what else? - in 2020 by Aleksander Freda of Dark Pegasus Studio. 153cm in 1:9 scale. She has "steel toes" on (half moon shoes, a concession to endurance work), made from scratch (pewter cast into plate, cut, hammered, carved and fitted to notched hoof walls) by me.
While resculpting, I tried to maintain the mould's original dimensions where relevant to tack fit measurements. The resulting model therefore has the proportions and features of rather a modern show style Arab than those typical of old Polish stock. Shown in the last picture in a native Arabian tack set by a sadly unknown maker, and a beaded collar by Melissa Halvas of Arabesque Model Horse Miniatures.

In a historical replica Arabian set made in 2022 by Christèle Othon of Djedarabian costumes, France. More pictures to follow - a little more of the set and its background can be viewed in the Tack room. The last photo shows Depe together with my Drzazga, who wears a Syrian set by an unknown maker.
Doing endurance in the summer of 2020. The bridle is by Silver Stallion Saddlery; the saddle, girth, sponge & lead are by me. The doll was clad by Dagmara Rumińska. I regret I don't know who made the saddle pad. The saddle bags are 1:6 factory finish stuff.
A few pictures from Depe's making. I sculpted several versions of her face - some too masculine, some too Egyptian - before settling for the (still too meaty) final head. All the grey in the last few photos is new epoxy; little save general proportions, barrel and cannons of the original mould remain visible in the final model.
Information for the Pedigree Assignment hobby:
HOX! I'm having to revamp Depe's damsside pedigree a little - until that's done, no breedings to her please. Her colour genetics & basic lines won't change.
Depeszówka+ is a modern Polish Arabian mare, foaled in 2013. Black (Eeaa, can give red.) 153cm. IPABRA 2021 Base Colour Top-5 horse, Colour CH & R CH, IPABRA Colour multi-wnr. AMAHA 2020 Bloodstock Top-10 horse, Performance ROM & LOM+, CM Halter Grand CH, Gender, Type & Finish CH, Most Classic Arabian & Most Classic Head wnr, Colour multi-wnr, Type & Gender wnr, Perf multi-placed. Her blue eye is unrelated to a white pattern (as for example on the Polish purebred Arabian Pedagog®), and needs not be inherited by her offspring. From near wholly racing-proven stock. Traces twice to superb racing mare line of Forta® (1943, 2x stakes winner, dam of 18 race winners) and once to that of Dalida® (1981, Derby winner, 2/12:(4-0-2)1, d/o Druid® (video), Dynamit®), incorporating the state stud Michałów's two best racing families. Currently backdating successful racing & endurance careers with the ABRCB - Champion 3yo filly with G1 (May Racing Carnival G1 Majeed S.) & G2 wins, multiple times G1, G2, G3 placed, 2/14:(3-4-4), never unplaced, $461,650. As a 6yo in endurance, Best Condition & 4x 1st of Weight winner, 300km Certificate of Merit earner during first competing year.
While predominantly Polish-bred with a number of Russian ancestors, Depe carries a streak of OAE Egyptian blood in her through two Gleannloch Farms and one Ansata ancestor. These are brought in by the 2011 World Champion stallion Gazal al Shaqab®, who stood at stud at the state studs Janów Podlaski & Michałów in Poland in 2002 & '03. Some notable Egyptians in her background are Khofo®, Bint Maisa el Saghira®, Ansata Ibn Halima®, Anaza el Farid®, Alaa el Din®, Ruminaja Ali®. Traces to the Soviet racing wonders Knippel®, Priboj® & Mammona® via Monogramma®; Kaborr+++® & Bint Kholameh® via Kajora®; Exelsjor®, Laur® and Comet® via Probat®; Hardy® via Banat-son Arbil® (sire of Wachlarz®, Elwira®, Zatoka®); Forta® via Fawor® & Pilot®; Negatiw® via Fatima® & Negotka®; Palas via Ararat®, Pilarka® & Gizela®; Czort® & Celebes® via Aloes®; Bandola® via Banat® & Arra®; Bandola's mother Bałałajka® & Bask++® via Negatraz®; and Wielki Szlem® via Anarchista®, Bint Munira® & Gahdar®. Her parents' 6-gen inbreeding coefficient is a moderate 2.92%.
Open 2019-2029. Competing ID or a showable body for foals preferred; photo requested for bloodstock classes.
