Last weekend the 2017 Israeli Spring Show was held at Kibbutz Alonim. Over 140 horses took part in this show which opened the 2017 show season in our country. Our home bred filly, Damdiyah AA (Ajman Moniscione x Dafina AA) was the youngest one in her age group as she was born in October 2014, but still was 1st in her class and named Unanimous Gold Champion Filly! Dafina AA, dam of Damdiyah AA, is by the Straight Egyptian Stallion Al Bilal (Al Maraam x Bahiha) out of the Michalow bred mare Dumka (Laheeb x Dabrowa by Probat). Beside Damdiyah AA, Dafina AA is the dam of a few winners: Daliyah AA (by Nader Al Jamal), Durar AA (by Gazal Al Shaqab) and the youngerst one Deenar AA (by Ajman Moniscione).
Two other mares from our breeding program was show; Almas AA, a young straight Egyptian mare, by Laheeb out of Ayat AA (Al Ayad x Al Amal AA) was 1st in her class and named Bronze Champion Mare. The dam of this mare, Ayat AA was sold to Belgium last year and foaled for her new owner a beautiful Shams Sharav AA filly. The 3rd one was shown for the first time. It was Ghaniyah AA (Al Ayal AA x Gazania by Laheeb), two years old Egyptian Related filly. She did great and was the winner of her age group.
All these three were beautifully shown by Uri Shaked. Karima Al Qasem (Al Ayal AA x Arus El Nile by Al Bilal) was named Silver Champion Filly. Nadine BT Nadir (Nader Al Jamal x Estrella Blanca) was named Gold Champion Mare. AA Aluf (Nader Al Jamal x AA Aseela by Laheeb) was 1st in his class and named Bronze Champion Stallion.
Congratulations to all!
