4/17/13 When I picked up my copy of the American Saddlebred
Breeder’s Guide from 1990 and flipped through the pages, the number of Supreme
Sultan sons jumped out at me. A total of
14 of his sons, not to mention the grandsons, were advertised in the magazine. He died 30 years ago in 1983 at the
relatively young age of 17, but what an impact he made on the American
Saddlebred breed. Of course, some of the
sons in the Breeders Guide are nearly as famous as their sire while others aren’t
well known at all. Here are all fourteen
stallions.
The Sundrifter out of Fran Ann by Mr. Magic Man
CH Albelarm Supremacy out of Enticing Lady
Bred and owned by Mrs. Alan Robson. He sired CH Marquisat,
CH Albelarm Truly Fair, the nice Michigan stallion Supremacy's High Time,
and of course my good girl Loretta.
Duke Supreme out of My King's Promise by My King's X
He didn't sire a lot of horses, but one was CH Santa Claus.
Galahad out of CH Gala Affair by Denmark's Bourbon Genius
His dam was a good 3-gaited show horse.
Radiant Sultan out of CH Glenview Radiance by Oman's Desdemona Denmark
His dam was a top fine harness horse and he sired a lot of
very nice horses including CH Foxfire's Prophet,
CH the Grand Master and CH Radiant Success.
Sultan's Flashdance out of Winsome Wing by Wing Commander
His only CHampion was a great one, CH Gypsy Supreme who was
a great ambassador for ASB's at the Kentucky Horse Park.
Sultan's Great Day out of Supreme's Casindra (BHF) by Stonewall Supreme
He was sooooo gorgeous! And a good sire too. Among his

The Cheetah out of Princess Blanchita by Wing' s Fleet Admiral
His dam was a very good show mare and Cheetah was really handsome.
His son Blue Calliou lived in Michigan for a while and
made a very nice western pleasure horse.
