It was a long weekend but a very good one...
The 37th Israeli Nationals were held last weekend in Moshav Tel Adashim. 204 horses took part in this show which was judged by six international judges. Unfortunately, many of the horses shown, were horses imported from abroad and not Israel bred horses as it used to be in the past. We took eleven horses from our breeding program and they all did great:
* Sultan AA (ST Shardh x Marwana by Al Maraam) - 4th place Weanling Colts (2018a).
* Bariq Al Mas AA (Jyar Meia Lua x Al Baraqai AA by Baahir) - 1st place Weanling Colt Foal (2018b).
* Mayar AA (Jyar Meia Lua x Chanel JPD) - 2nd place Weaning Colt Foal (2018b).
* My Vision AA (Jyar Meia Lua x The Vision HG) - 2nd place Weanling Filly Foal (2018c).
* Lulu AA (Marwan Al Shaqab x Labibah AA by Nader Al Jamal) - 1st place 2017 Fillies (2017a).
* Zara AA (GT Shardh x Zlota Gwizda by Al Maraam) - 4th place Yearling Fillies (2017b).
* Baahir AA (Al Ayal AA x Badriyah AA by Nader Al Jamal) - 2nd place Yearling Colt (2017b).
* Sajida AA (Al Ayal AA x Safiyyah AA by Laheeb) - 1st place Three Years Old Fillies.
* Lamaan AA (Marwan Al Shaqab x Lutfina AA by Nader Al Jamal - 3rd place 2016 Colts.
* Sofiya AA (Al Ayal AA x Saniyyah RCA by Mishaal HP) - 1st place 2014 Mares.
* Nashwah AA (Al Ayad x Insha Sha Latifa by Ansata Selam) - 1st place 2009 and Older Mares.
Nine of these eleven horses made it to the championships, and eight left the arena wearing the roses:
* Mayar AA - Silver Champion Colt Foal.
* Bariq Al Mas AA - Bronze Champion Weanling Colt.
* My Vision AA - Bronze Champion Filly Foal.
* Lulu AA - Bronze Champion Yearling Filly.
* Sajida AA - Bronze Champion Filly.
* Lamaan AA - Bronze Champion Colt.
* Nashwah AA - Bronze Champion Mare.
