Yes, we can!
Three horses from our breeding program competed last weekend at the 2011 Dubai International Championships, which is one of only five ECAHO 'Title Shows', and considered to be one of the most competitive shows in the world. These horses included Badawieh AA, who was awarded 2nd Place (93.6 points) in her age class behind the 2010 World Champion FT Shaella; Loubna, who won 1st in her class with 94.5 points; and Al Ayal AA, who was 1st in his class with 93 points.
We take great pleasure in announcing that at the end of the show the judges awarded Loubna with the title Gold Champion Mare and Al Ayal AA with the title Gold Champion Colt. Al Ayal (Al Ayad x The Vision HG) also won the Most Classic Head award.
We are so very proud to be able to say that horses from our breeding program have now won FIVE Gold Championships in what is considered one of the world's most important Arabian shows.
So, YES, WE CAN! This latest Dubai show has proven that even in today's toughest Arabian competitions, Straight Egyptian horses -- and horses from small breeding programs -- can compete and win in open shows. We may not always find ourselves in the winner's circle, but we will keep trying to breed the best possible Straight Egyptian horses.
We wish to thank Ajman Stud, Frank Sponle, Elisa Grassi and all the people who worked so tirelessly to make all this possible. Thank you and congratulations!
