This year we are starting "pink"...
The first foal of the year was born and it's a beautiful grey filly and just what we were hoping for with this cross. She is the first-born of our young mare Nashwat Al Shamal AA, who is by Dr. Nagel's beloved stallion Salaa Al Dine (Ansata Halim Shah x Hanan) out of our prima mare Nashwah AA (Al Ayad x Insha Sha Latifa by Ansata Selman).
The sire of this filly is Al Danat Stud's senior stallion Shamekh Al Danat. Shamekh Al Danat is by the Ansata Hejazi son Ajmal Al Kout, who is out of the Ansata Halim Shah daughter Ansata Malaka (out of Ansata Malika by Jamil). On his dam's side Shamekh Al Danat is out of the mare Ajmal Sherifa (Ansata Sirius x Jazi Al Rayyan by Alidaar). His tail female line carries some of Ansata's best mares tracing back to the great Dahmah Shahwaniyah mare Ansata Bint Bukra (Nazeer x Bukra).
We have named this filly Shikaha Al Shamal AA.
