Marcel De Merci is the tallest of the young stallions in our stud. From the very first moments of his life, he has demonstrated incredible energy and strength, which, combined with his well-proportioned, athletic build, makes him an outstanding, versatile prospect for sport. Marcel uniquely combines the power of his sire's racing line with his dam's extremely valuable, world-class show pedigree.
Pedigree and heritage
Marcel's family tree is a combination of the world's best racing, endurance and show lines. On his father's side, we find the legendary stallion Amer (winner of 9 out of 13 international races) and the Qatari stallion Murhib, i.e. a bloodline synonymous with success in racehorse breeding worldwide. Marcel's ancestry also includes the outstanding mare Savvannah, giving him unique international genetic potential.
Marcel's dam, Miramar, is a daughter of the titled stallion El Shanti (granddaughter of world champion Kahila Al Shaqab). Miramar carries a unique combination of the Werter and the Mammona lines, from which the famous Monogramm descends. This combination guarantees both outstanding nobility and proven performance over generations.
Sire line: Marcel's father is
Merci Murhib Kossack – one of LovEnPeas Arabians' most outstanding stallions, as well as an exceptionally brave race and endurance horse. He has successfully competed in endurance races in Poland. Merci passes on his fighting spirit and courage to his offspring, as confirmed by both the successes of his children on the racetrack (including Sweet Dream and Purhiba) and the magnificent international endurance career of his half-brother
Alpess.
Dam line: apart from her prestigious pedigree,
Miramar brings distinction and refined elegance to Marcel's genetic profile – features deeply rooted in the best Polish traditions, characteristic of those horses destined to be successful in both sport and breeding.
Miramar comes from a long line of Russian horses, valued for their efficient, expressive movement and the extremely valuable blood of the stallion Werter. This lucky combination is also displayed in Valeriana, who defeated the best mares in the world in Janów Podlaski, permanently inscribing herself in the history of Polish sport, among others.
Distinguishing features and predispositions
Marcel is the most potent stallion in his age group, distinguished by his impressive stature, height and self-confidence. He is a horse that naturally exudes boldness and beauty, which, combined with his elite pedigree, predisposes him to high-level sport and the role of a valuable asset in breeding.
His potential in long-distance disciplines is confirmed by the spectacular results of his half-brother, the athletic stallion Alpess, who has been successful on international tracks in Portugal and Spain. Marcel, being a visual copy of his father and carrying the blood of the most influential Arabian horses of recent decades, is surely a ready foundation for future generations of sporting successes.
