Ffalcon
Foaled in 1997, the grey stallion Ffalcon, bred by Mark Gamlin at Peakland Arabians, stands as a compelling example of how a carefully considered pedigree can shape lasting influence. Standing at approximately 15.0 hh, he combined refinement with substance, qualities that would define both his show-ring presence and later performance career. After his early successes—including the victory at Towerlands, and a reginal C-shows in the UK—he was later acquired by Goran Mihajlovic in Germany in the mid-2000s, where he transitioned into a dressage career, further underlining the versatility inherent in his lineage. In 2005 Ffalcon was awarded with the Silver Ribbon at the German stallion licensing event.
At the foundation of that pedigree stands the distinguished mare Nouvelle, a British National Champion whose importance as a broodmare has only grown with time. Bred from Najman (by Moment) and the Silver Flame daughter Flambelle, Nouvelle represents a powerful blend of Crabbet and Russian bloodlines, anchored in one of the most respected British dam families of the desert bred mare Rodania.
Nouvelle's true significance, however, lies in her production record. She proved to be an exceptional match for Ffatal Attraction, forming a cross that would become one of the defining successes of Peakland Arabians. From this union emerged a remarkable group of full siblings: Ffalcon, Ffiction, MG Saffire and the ethereally beautiful Fforget Me Not. Through her daughter Fforget Me Not, Nouvelle is the granddam of the legendary mare CR Jasmeenah, crowned World Champion Mare in Paris 2011.
No discussion of Ffalcon’s heritage would be complete without recognizing the profound impact of his sire, Ffatal Attraction. Imported from the United States, he became a cornerstone of Peakland Arabians in the UK. Shown successfully in the UK, Ffatal Attraction's show career reached a defining moment in 2004, when, at fourteen years of age, he was crowned British National Champion Stallion. In an extraordinary and still-unmatched achievement, his son Ffoenix—a full brother to Ffalcon—stood Reserve British National Champion Stallion on the same day. This father-and-son triumph remains one of the most iconic moments in British Arabian show history, underlining both the stallion’s enduring quality and his prepotency as a sire.
Ffatal Attraction’s legacy extends far beyond his immediate progeny. Through sons such as Gharam, he has become an influential grandsire, most notably as the grandsire of the successful stallion Sharahm, a stallion who has enjoyed international success and is now establishing himself as a sire in his own right.
Besides his halter show and dressage career, Ffalcon lefte a small number of progeny. His recorded offspring include Snow Ffalcon (2002, gelding), out of Aliya Bint Misk Tarifa (by G Halim Sharib), Falcon Crest (2009, bay colt), out of Mahalakshmi (by Gips) and Mia Diva (2009, bay mare), out of Bay Diva (by Kubinec).
