Allegra, say please, who is ersatz mother of Samovar?

I am sorry Alexander, I do not understand your question ?

Allegra. We had to euthanize Gul due to injuries she got in a trailer accident. It was a very sad day when Gul had to leave us.

Jessica,

My sympathies to you and Todd. What a tragedy to lose such a lovely mare so young, and one you had bred and raised and had such hopes for.

Dear Allegra, you have first expierence of embrio transplantation in akhalteke breed. Can you inform me pedigree of parents of this foal and his ersatz mother.
Best regards
A. Klimuk

Dear Mr Klimuk,

I am sorry, but I cannot claim the first embryo transfer foal in the Akhal-Teke breed, there were others born here in the US before Samovar, in addition there are some other ET foals currently in-utero now, due this year, although none of them are mine.

But to answer your question, Samovar is sired by Gindarkh 13 (Gaukhar x Takappara), out of Senova (Senetir x Oliva). His surrogate mother was a mare that I bred and have owned since birth.

Sincerely,
Allegra

Mrs. Steck, thank you for your reply.
Best wishes.

Dear Mr. Klimuk,

I am not yet a Mrs., but you are welcome.

I wonder if I might then pose a question to you, assuming Jessica does not mind the utilization of her Blog space for it ?
