We are very proud to announce that this year, three of our home-bred horses competed at the Dubai International Arabian Horse Championships, which is regarded as one of the world's most prestigious shows, and is one of only five ECAHO "Total shows". The youngest of the three was Al Ayal AA (Al Ayad x The Vision), who won Second Place, with great score, in his large colts class. The second was Badawieh AA (Laheeb x Bahiha), who was named Bronze Champion mare behind the 2009 World Champion Kwestura and Reserve World Champion Ladi Veronika. And last but not least, the eternal beauty Al Lahab (Laheeb and The Vision) won the title of Gold Champion Stallion. Altogether two sons of The Vision competed in the Finals of this exclusive show, ending with one Gold Champion and one Second Place. Two of Laheeb's progeny rewarded their sire with a Bronze and a Gold championship title. We are so proud that these three horses, all from our small breeding program, attained such high achievements at one of the world's most competitive shows. All of them are Straight Egyptian horses! Congratulations to the proud owners of Badawieh AA and Al Lahab, and to the Al Ayal Leasing group. Photo of Al Lahab by Irina Filsinger.
