Merci Murhib's dam is the Russian Tersk Stud bred mare Maringa. The fact that the mare's value has been recognized by two studs - the Dutch Kossack Stud and the French HarasDu Pachot - can attest to her potential, as the mare is still co-owned by both.

Out of his 25 starts, Marwan won as many as 17, including the European Cup in France, the Europa Prize in Germany and the Swedish Derby.

Niumarket's dam was very good Russian mare Navigacia by Gwizd. Interesting to note is that Niumarket is the first foal at Tersk Stud to come from the semen imported from Kossack Stud. Unfortunately, due to an eye injury at a young age, Niumarket was unable to receive race training.
Maringa's dam, the mare Mari, is a daughter of the stallion Nuits St.Georges by Dunixi out of Madeira by Drug. She had an amazing racing career making her one of the best racing mares in the history of Russian tracks. She ran 3 seasons scoring 18 starts of which she won 13, was second twice and fifth once. Among her wins were the prizes: Karinki, Autumn, Mammona, Taktika, Beresta, Comparative, twice winning the Oaks and Great Sprint Cup.MerciMurhib Kossack himself ran one season competing 4 times and despite he didn't score in spectacular races he always finished his stakes in money - once he won, twice came second and once fourth.
In Poland so far, within 4 breeding seasons, he has produced 25 PASB-registered foals. Among his bravest progeny were distinguished: from the 2018 foal crop - Munes out of Muhfuza Fata - with a total won of PLN 22450 5th in 2022 Arabian Derby behind, among others, the amazingly running Han Rastaban.

Merci Murhib Kossack is a dewy, athletic, extremely strong horse. His offspring are conformationally similar to his sire and, like himself, run very evenly, placed in money usually, which shows good condition, health and stamina - and this is what we expect from a versatile Arabian horse. Today, after few breeding seasons and resumed endurance training, in the strength of a horse's age, a healthy and fully mature MerciMurhib is back to high sport.
At LovEnPeas, Merci Murhib is being prepared consistently for endurance races. We believe that this beautiful, strong, exemplary for the breed stallion with excellent character, will achieve championship results and, like his ancestors, will still go down in the history of equestrian sports and his noble breed.
