SASAKIS SAMURAI has a world class classical Spanish pedigree. He is a full brother to halter champion SAKITA. He is a 3/4 blood brother to halter and western pleasure champion DON DE LANTE (who is sired by a full brother to *SASAKI out of a daughter of JALEAS ET) and to Region 14 Reserve Champion Mare and National winner producer AVELLANA. He is a paternal brother to National winners in halter and comes from a highly successful female family as his dam has founded a 3 generation line of National winner producers and his maternal granddam produced 5 champion producers, 2 of whom are also National winner producers, and 2 of them produced 4 or more champions apiece.
