*Serafix

Foaled 1949

Raktha x  *Serafina

This great chestnut stallion was imported in 1954 by Mr. John Rogers of Walnut Creek, California from Crabbet Stud in England.

Shown in 1954 at the Cow Palace and at the Pamona, Ca show, winning Reserve Champion at both shows.

Shown in 1955 by Robert Smith of Kellogg Ranch, *Serafix was Grand Champion and Champion Stallion at Pamona.

Shown only one time in 1957 and 1958, he was Champion Stallion at each show and was never shown again. He was retired to stud at the Rogers Ranch and his progeny speak for themselves.

*Serafix was bred to only mares that were approved by Mr. Rogers and didn’t stand to outside mares until the last two years of his life.

Most notably, *Serafix dams were highly prized as broodmares and in later years these dams and grandams were bred to the Polish import *Bask to produce what was called “The Golden Cross” line of *Bask, *Serafix horses.

*Serafix has 275 progeny listed in the AHR stud book.  Of these offspring many went on to Canadian and US National Champions.

*Serafix died in June of 1973. He was 24.
