HS Temptation Eyes
The grey mare HS Temptation Eyes, foaled in 2008 and bred by Linda J. Pizzonia, combined refined Arabian type with the athletic qualities long associated with her pedigree. Known in the stable as “Flower,” she later became an important part of the Black Smoke Arabians breeding program in Germany.
HS Temptation Eyes was sired by the late grey stallion A Temptation (1995–2016, by Tempter out of A Love Song by *Bask), one of the most accomplished performance Arabians of his generation in the United States. His record includes U.S. National Champion titles in Pleasure Driving (2005) and English Pleasure (2002), U.S. National Reserve Champion Park Horse (2006), and multiple other major wins. He also proved influential as a sire, producing more than 260 registered foals.
HS Temptation Eyes' dam was MMA Diamond Dawn (by Hucklebey Berry out of Diamond Lillie by *Bask). Through her female line, MMA Diamond Dawn traces directly to Jurneeka, the celebrated dam of Khemosabi, himself a U.S. and Canadian National Champion Halter Stallion and National Champion Western Pleasure horse. Her tail-female line traces to the Saklawi Al Abd strain through the famed desert mare Wadduda.
Appearing five times within her pedigree through both sire and dam, the repeated presence of *Bask reinforces a strong concentration of classic Polish performance blood.
As a young mare, HS Temptation Eyes captured Junior Bronze Champion Mare at the Orientalica Show in 2011, signaling her early promise. She later matured into a successful senior mare, earning Senior Gold Champion Mare at the Kauber Platte Championships in 2015. That same year she also became German National Silver Senior Champion Mare, a title she repeated in 2018, further establishing her as a consistent competitor on the German show circuit.
As a broodmare, HS Temptation Eyes produced several foals registered in Germany for Black Smoke Arabians. Her offspring include the grey stallion BS Flower Power (2013, by B.S. Beethovenn), grey mare BS Grace (2014, by Marcus C), chestnut stallion BS Scaleri (2016, by Le Createur), chestnut stallion BS Magny Cour (2017, by Eklipse O), and bay mare BS Last Flower (2020, by Eklipse O).
According to the German stud book, BS Last Flower was her final foal for Black Smoke Arabians before HS Temptation Eyes was exported to Qatar in 2021.
