Last weekend, the 2016 Israeli National Championship Arabian Show was held at Kibbutz Alonim. Over 180 horses took part in this show which was Israeli 35th Nationals! We shown some of our horses at this show and they did very well. Mostly, we are proud that most of the horses we shown was Straight Egyptians and most of them are home bred horses!
A record number of 28 weanling fillies took part in this show. We are so proud that our two weanling fillies, both SE and both by our home-bred junior stallion Shams Sharav AA (Simeon Sarav x Saniyyah RCA), did extremely well. Ajayeb AA (Shams Sharav AA x El Katreen Nada) was 1st place in her class and named Gold Champion Filly and her half-sister Nadiyah AA (Shams Sharav AA x Insha Sha Latifa) was named 3rd in her class and named Top Five Weanling filly.
The SE filly, Sajida AA (Al Ayal AA x Saniyyah RCA) was 1st in her class and named Silver Champion Yearling Filly. Fadwah AA (Fadi Al Shaqab x Donya Jamal) was Bronze Champion Yearling Filly. Damdiyah AA (Ajman Moniscione x Dafina AA) was 1st in her class too and Named Silver Champion Filly.
The beautiful GT Shardh (WH Justice x TF Shahraaz), who is proudly owned by La Movida Arabians in Austria and on lease to our farm, was 1st in his class and named Gold Champion Colt.
The young SE mare Labibah AA (Nader Al Jamal x Latifah AA) was 1st in her class and named Silver Champion Mare.
And now come the most amazing joy we could only dream about: our senior mare Saniyyah RCA (Mishaal HP x My Shooting Star) entered the ring... As some may know, the last two years of Saniyyah's life were not easy. It was not our intention to show this mare, she had very big belly from all the surgeries she had to go thru and no muscle tone. The Idea was to make her condition better to tighten her belly up so we started working her a bit.
Then, she starts looking really good, we thought, 'Why not?'
She was 1st in her class, with the 2nd highest score of the whole show and named Silver Champion Mare!!! It was such a wonderful moment to see her enter the ring!
And above all, Saniyyah is the grandmother of Nadyiah AA, Ajayeb AA (Gold Champion Weanling filly) and Sajida AA (Silver Champion Yearling filly). What a great mare!
All our horses were shown beautify by Tom Oben, Uri Shaked and Philippe Hosay who helped in the championship. We wish to thank them all! and we wish to thank all our wonderful team who worked so many hours to get the horses look so good!
