Tarnik
Tarnik was a Malopolski or Polish Anglo Arab Stallion who was bred at the Janów Podlaski Stud in Eastern Poland. Brought to the UK by Mr and Mrs T Sutcliffe, he was produced, trained and showed by Patrick Kempe. Tarnik won the Part bred Arab Stallion class at the AHS show at Ascot in 1977 and went on to take the Reserve Part-bred Championship. The same year Tarnik proved himself as an all round sports horse, placing in numerous hunter trails and winning the AHS Marathon, just ahead of Lord and Lady Moyne’s Ansty ridden by Finn Guinness, with a record breaking time of 1 hour 36 minutes and 49.5 seconds. From his second position Finn was impressed and sought to have Tarnik on loan for several years where the stallion made a considerable impression on the sports horse stock of the stud including siring the Badminton and Burghley winner Tamarillo.
Tamarillo
Tamarillo is a part bred gelding born in 1992 sired by Tarnik out of the mare Mellita by Master Spiritus. Together with William Fox-Pitt Tamaillo was one of the leading event horses in the world representing the UK at many major championships.
