The first foal this year is a beautiful filly by Emerald J (QR Marc x Emandoria) out of Damdiyah AA. Damdiyah is a daughter of the champion-maker Ajman Moniscione out of our home-bred mare Dafina AA (Al Bilal x Dumka). Dumka is a Laheeb daughter bred at Michalow Stud in Poland; in 2001 we chose her for our breeding program out of all the Laheeb daughters born at Michalow the year before. Dumka is the first horse we ever added to our breeding program from our long cooperation with the two Polish Studs, and she certainly created a dynasty of her own at Ariela Arabians through her Al Bilal (Al Maraam x Bahiha) daughter Dafina AA. The new filly is a full sister to Darine AA, born last year and she is all what we were hoping for from this cross.
