Gappar-Dacor

About Gappar-Dacor

Gappar is a striking, highly-sooty metallic buckskin stallion with a powerful sportive build, inquisitive nature, and playful spirit. He has beautiful, floating movements and a highly intelligent character. Gappar was bred and born at Dacor Akhal-Teke Stud Farm in Kazakhstan, where he became the 2016 Champion of Kazakhstan 2YR Colt, and he was imported to the USA in 2025. Gappar was sired by 2007 Young World Champion Pamel-Kan, son of internationally successful producer and high altitude endurance horse Melesur. He is out of supermodel mare Gulbakhram, daughter of 2016 Young Champion of Kazakhstan Gasyr—who is son of two-time World Champion Salyr.

Gappar’s pedigree includes successful jumping and race-rich family history. On his sire side, he descends from the rare El line known for its speed and stamina. He carries racehorse producer mare Pariza—who also was dam of “supermother” Pudokchan, mother of one of the most famous Akhal-Teke racehorse studs: Piastr—complemented on his dam side by Polot, who was sire of Piastr. Gappar also harkens back to Orlan through the cross of mare Oktava and the influential racing/jumping successful stallion 943 Arslan (winner of “Prize of Kalinin” and “Probnyi Prize”). Gappar’s full brother, Galapker-Dacor, won the “Cup of the Moscow Region” in jumping and his half-brother, Sapar-Kan (Pamel-Kan x Sabyrli), is also an elite grade proven jumper—demonstrating Gappar’s own potential as he begins a new career in North America.

If you want an elegant, intelligent, and athletic sportive prospect, Gappar is the full package. The Akhal-Teke has been used for thousands of years to develop and improve other stock, and as a result their blood is still found today in almost all modern breeds, notably the Thoroughbred and many warmbloods. This stallion showcases beautiful qualities that have been valued for generations, offering nice type refinement to purebred mares and a lighter yet powerful build in crossbreeding.

He produced a lovely colt in 2023 named Khoshkel, out of Salyr and Kerzi granddaughter Khanshaiym, and we are excited to welcome his first foal crop coming 2027 in North America.
