*OTHELLO (double*Salon/double Priboj), *Naturel (*Mag x Nepreadwa), and a lovely group of mares of Aswan/Arax lines through two of Europe's most influential stallions, *KILIMANDSCHARO and *NEMEN. Now twenty years later there exists a concentrated gene pool at Siri not found anywhere else. Among the first to mention is the extraordinarily bred and beautiful O II who is the son of *Othello and Majenta (*Muscat x *Kastanieta (Aswan/Arax). So much like his sire in looks and personality and already admired among his rivals by claiming Region 9 Res. Champion Halter Stallion. O II's first foal, again like his dad, has tall stature, elegance, substance, type and excellent movement. It is quality and Arabian that you see when you look at O II. With his concentration of *Salon and Priboj he is an ideal out cross to many mares.
Another Russian stallion, a stallion that Siri bred and imported was the exotic dark bay Stallion

*NATUREL by *Mag out of a Pomeranits daughter. After winning 3 Regional Championships, 6 US and Canadian National Top Ten Halter wins, *NATUREL went on to be crowned Scottsdale Champion Stallion (in the days when there were over 50 in the class) and then Scottsdale Supreme Champion. It is unfortunate that *NATUREL perished soon after he was exported to Brazil for breeding, but Siri has maintained one of his exquisite sons, NATUREL HEIR, and two lovely daughters, NEMTCHINOVA and NAKKITA.

NATUREL HEIR, a 1988 liver chestnut, combines the Russian/Polish/Crabbet bloodlines of some of the greats. Close up you will find GAZI, *TORNADO and ARAX. He is unmistakably Arabian in type with his chiseled head, huge eyes, pronounced jowls and strong conformation.

OZYMANDEUS, a 1990 grey stallion is the straight Russian son of *OTHELLO x NEPOSAYDA (Nemen x Neposa) Extreme type and elegance carried him successfully to numerous Championships in Halter and Western Pleasure having been two times named Region 9 Top Five Western. His foals are tall, correct and have wonderful dished faces.

*MIG is a 1993 grey straight Russian son of *MAG x *KASTANIETA (Awan/Arax). He is not only very typey, but exudes charisma with everything he does. He is tall and short coupled with great impulsion and a powerful trot. Though he has been twice named Region 9 Top Five in Hunter, he may soon be back in the show ring in Show Hack. His first foal is an outstanding filly of very high quality. His double Awan/double Arax pedigree will pass on his exotic beauty and smooth body.

OLYMPEAN is a 1983 grey stallion by SIR MUSK (*Muscat x RSR Jezebel). This 25 times Grand Champion Stallion and "Most Classic" winner heralds from the "golden" cross of Polish/Crabbet/Kellogg breeding. Out of the Siri foundation mare RSR Jezebel, Olympean combines Gwalior(Nabor) and Abu Farwa (a Legendary American Sire). Through his sire, Olympean carries the additional beauty and stature of the *Salon influence and the exotic features of GA'ZI. He is best described as storybook beautiful with near faultless conformation with extreme length of neck and a gorgeous head. Once you look into his eyes you will never forget. His offspring are gorgeous. All his daughters have been retained by Siri.

All the stallions at Siri Arabians include some of the best and treasured bloodlines that have made the breed what it is today. Their pedigrees are close up to the industry legends that have molded this breed and their contributions will be an important part of the future.
