Samber is the World-wide Legend and undisputed King of the Coloureds. He is the greatest far reaching and most influential of all Pinto warmblood sires. In 1979 Samber passed his 100 day performance test, with a 10 for character and temperament, he gained an overall 160.2 points and an A Certificate. Samber proved himself in competition in the early to mid eighties and reached Grand Prix in Dressage and Z Level (BSJA Grade A) in Showjumping. Samber’s had a huge influence as an International performance sire. Not just the stallion descendants of Samber, but also the mares and the geldings are proving themselves in all the Olympic disciplines. West Star, the International 4 Star mount of Nina Melkonian is his best representative to date in so far as eventing is concerned, whilst Art Deco has reached Grand Prix Dressage in the USA for Liz Hall and Silverwood Farm. Dim Bam Bino, born 1988, by Branco Ox, out of Ange by Samber, represents Greece in International Dressage, United Colours ’91 by Samber out of a Rigoletto/Rames mare won in Showjumping, whilst Pintofields Iedante I, a KWPN Keur mare has won over 150 Dressage points in Great Britain. The above is just a few of the better known “Sambers” and there are; many others competing at all levels throughout Europe and the USA. Samber’s dam Tina D, the black tobiano Preferent mare by Ordonnans, a son of Ornament, is also a legend in her own right. In 1983, at the age of 19 she paraded at the UTV National Mare Show with some of her offspring including Samber. At that time she had brought 16 foals into the world, several of which are tobianos. Samber’s sire Pericles was born in 1962. British bred from the West Grinstead Stud, he stood for one year in 1968 under the H.I.S. scheme, and prior to this ran 14 times, won two races and was placed in three. In 1976 he attained Keur status and in 1977, Preferent and died in 1987.
