In 2001 I was lucky enough to lease the old mare Chip Chase Sinarli, the foundation mare of Jirrima Performance Arabians. Sinarli is by a double Hadban Enzahi horse Sinbad (imp) out of Chip Chase Kimarli, a full sister to Chip Chase Sadaqa.

Sinarli is the dam of successful show horses, led and ridden and the dam of successful endurance horses Jirrima Smooth Sailor, Jirrima Jasyn and Jirrima Polar Lass.

Close to foaling, Sinarli started to discharge blood - the vet had a feel and said everything seemed normal. I had to travel away for work, and was fortunate to foal her down at Jirrima, for this lanky, athletic grey filly.

One of my favourite Fortitude daughters.
