Her Legend Lives On
SAKI is one of the greatest mares of the Arabian Breed! She was the solid foundation broodmare for the Jack Tone Ranch, as well as friend, teacher and companion to 3 generations of the Tone family. Saki was inducted into the Arabian Horse Trust Hall of Fame in 1997. Saki was the dam of 11 champions, including National Champion Mare and Stallion, and many Top 10's in the Nation. ALL of Saki's foals who were shown were champions! In addition to all of Saki's championships in halter and performance, her sons and daughters produced champions as well, including many National winners.

Marjory F. Tone chose SAKI as a broodmare and riding horse for her daughter Kathleen in 1954. She knew that the beautiful grey mare had unlimited potential; but only Marge’s artistic eye could see SAKI’s rare quality. SAKI went on to become one of the greatest producing mares of all time. She was voted Living Legend of the Arabian Breed in 1970 along with her "husband," the Fabulous Fadjur. This year, the Arabian Horse Trust honored SAKI when they inducted her into the Hall of Fame!
In addition to many championships in halter and performance, SAKI was a Top Ten Halter Mare of the U.S.A. SAKI was not only beautiful and correct; she was athletic and competitive as well. Kathleen Tone trained and showed SAKI to the California State Keyhole Racing champion in open gymkhana competition; out-maneuvering representatives of many breeds to show them what a pretty little Arab could do!
Even more impressive than SAKI’s star-studded show career was her record as a producer of champions. In her lifetime, SAKI produced 11 Class A Champions, including National Champions and Legion of Merit Champions. Most of SAKI’s foals were halter champions, then went on to excel in performance in english, western, sidesaddle, park, formal driving, formal combination, even endurance racing! An Aristocrat Broodmare, SAKI was the leading living dam of Champions. At her passing, SAKI's granddaughter, Amurath Kashmira (Fadi x Sanacht), inherited the high honor, "Leading Living Dam of Champions"!!
All of SAKI’s foals were sired by the Fabulous FADJUR, her lifetime friend and mate. A unique bond was formed between SAKI and FADJUR, living side by side in these corrals for most of their lives. That bond has gone down in history as one of the greatest “nicks” of all time. SAKI and FADJUR’s heritage is carrying on through the generations, with the birth of each new foal, and the winnings of each new champion.
