Born April 13, 1950, *Naborr (born Nabor) was bred by
Tersk Arabian Stud in Russia. His sire was the Naseem son,
Negatiw, and he was out of Lagodna.
*Naborr was Reserve Champion Stallion at the 1954 Moscow
horse show, while his sire, Negatiw, was selected Champion
that same year. Sold to Poland, *Naborr became the chief
sire, producing 61 offspring. Of this total, 15 stallions,
14 mares and two geldings were sold abroad. His daughters
became prized broodmares in the Polish breeding program.

*Naborr was sold to American breeder Anne McCormick in
1963, only after Poland acquired his sire, Negatiw, from
Russia. While at the McCormick ranch, *Naborr sired 79
foals. Upon her death, the terms of Mrs. McCormick's estate
demanded that all the horses be sold at public auction.
October, 1969, *Naborr was purchased by Tom Chauncey.
Before his death in November 1977, *Naborr produced 159 sons
and daughters while at Tom Chauncey Arabians, the first
being Kaborr+++, born in 1970.

*Naborr has made an impressive mark upon the Arabian
breed throughout the world. In the United States alone,
*Naborr has 363 registered foals. Of these, 88 different
offspring have a combined total of 890 Championships, both
in Halter and Performance. Among these Championships are 72
U.S. National Championships and 57 Canadian National
Championships. Approximately 25% of *Naborr's offspring in
the United States are champions.
*Naborr son, *Aramus, was U.S. and Canadian National
Champion Stallion, as well as U.S. National Champion Formal
Driving and Canadian National Champion Park. *Naborr
daughter, *Dornaba, was U.S. and Canadian National Champion
Mare, in the same year. The *Naborr son Riffle was U.S. and
Canadian National Champion Formal Driving, and also U.S.
National Champion Formal Combination.
*Naborr sired two sons who were to become Champions at
the Salon du Cheval in Paris: *Dardir, who was International
Champion Stallion in 1973, and Kaborr+++, who was Champion
Stallion of Europe in 1979.
*Naborr offspring have won at least one Championship in
42 different states, Canada and the District of Columbia.
Among the first ten stallions to receive the coveted
Legion of Supreme Merit (+++), two are *Naborr sons:
Kaborr+++ and The Phoenician+++.
