Albadeia Stud of Giza - Egypt, and Ariela Arabians of Bnei Zion- Israel, are pleased to announce an historic two-year lease-exchange of stallions which will coincide with the start of the 2008 breeding season. This is the first such lease agreement to ever take place between these two countries. Albadeia's stallion Simeon Sharav (Asfour x Simeon Shuala) will travel from Egypt very early next year to spend the entire 2008 and 2009 breeding seasons at Ariela Arabians in Israel. Ariela's stallion Laheeb (Imperial Imdal x AK Latifa), soon to arrive in Poland, will travel to Egypt in July 2008 after completing prior breeding obligations, and will stand at Albadeia through March of 2009. Al Hadiyah AA (Laheeb xThe Vision HG), now on lease to La Movida in Austria, is slated to arrive in Egypt in July of 2009 to stand at Albadeia until early 2010. Thank you, Nasr, for making this dream come true. Photo by Gigi Grasso.
