- Starantez comes from the
desert as recently as one of his fifth-generation ancestors - a rare thing
in a stallion of his age. Cressida was a mare of outstanding character
who passed her loving, easy-going nature on to her children. Starantez
is doubled up on Cressida. Here are a few shots of other family members
of this old-style Arabian stallion.

- As you can see, Starantez is a bit more substantial than
his grandpa, but one can also see that grandsire's influence in the head
and shoulders. Perhaps the star itself is inherited from him as well.

- Here we have the lovely head of Starantez mother, Filigree.

- Below is Star's dam being ridden by a young man. Notice
the lack of heavy tack?
-
- These Davenports are so easy-going, one barely needs string to work
with them. Ask them anything, they're happy to please. But no one likes
being told what to do!
-
- And this is a postcard of Antez, showing off the same
metallic coat and flaxen mane with darker tail that Starantez so proudly
sports. It's easy to see the family resemblance!

- Thanks for visiting Star's family. That's all for now, but I look forward
to gathering more images of this wonderful boy's line as time goes on.
