We are very pleased to announce that we are leasing one of Hanaya Stud's most treasured stallions, Kenz Al Baydaa. This well-bred stallion was bred by the world-famous Al Baydaa Stud from Egypt and then purchased at a very young age by Mrs. Nayla Hayek to join her exquisite collection of the breed's finest straight Egyptian horses.
Kenz Al Baydaa represents the powerful sire line of Nazeer through perhaps the most dynamic producing son of Ansata Halim Shah, Ansata Hejazi. Kenz's priceless and solid Babson dam line to the influential mare Sabrah has been brought forward through the layering of Glorieta Arabians bloodlines, representing the superior program of Mike and Kiki Case in America, along with a peppering of Darla Bryant breeding, to Ansata, to Imperial Egyptian Stud, then Omar Sakr and of course to the current day program of Al Baydaa. Kenz's dam, Kareema Sakr, is one of the most revered and respected Egyptian beauties on the globe today - her beauty and exquisite type not only ethereal but rather haunting in the most delicate and elusive way. Kareema is owned by Al Baydaa but living currently at Privilege in Belgium and is considered the Queen of Egypt based on her austere beauty alone.
Kanz is a young sire but his foals have already won many championships in Europe. His most well-known progeny is Hanaya Amirah (out Ameerat Al Hejra by Nader Al Jamal) who was named Gold Champion Filly at the 2017 Egyptian Event Europe.
We wish to thank Frank Spoenle and Elisa Grassi for helping us made this dream come true.
