After two years without competitions in our country because of Covid 19, it was clearly time to return to the routine and our farm was thrilled to take part in both the Israeli Egyptian Event and National Championships which were held back to back and hit record numbers regarding competitors and number of Arabian horse enthusiasts in attendance. Both shows were complete successes with 220 horses participating in the Egyptian Event and 230 in the Israeli Championships. Congratulations to the Israel Arab Horse Society on their organization of two such successful and well-run shows!
So we will start, of course, with our Egyptian Event which was held the first two days of this Arabian extravaganza. We brought eight horses from our farm, all of them our own home-bred horses:
Malikat AA (Kenz Al Baida x Malikah AA/Laheeb) - 2nd Place 2020 Fillies (A)
Badaya AA (Al Ayal AA x Badriyah AA/Nader Al Jamal) - 3rd Place 2018 Fillies (B)
La Luna AA (Kenz Al Baida x Llutfina AA/Nader Al Jamal) - 1st Place 2020 Fillies (B)
Bahiya AA (Kenz Al Baida x Balaqis AA/Laheeb) - Bronze Champion Yearling Filly
Sanaa AA (Al Ayal AA x Safiyyah AA/Laheeb) - Gold Champion Filly Foal
Bahjat AA (Kenz Al Baida x Badriyah AA/Nader Al Jamal) - Unanimous Gold Champion Yearling Colt
Shafikah AA (Frasera Mashar x Sofiya AA/Al Ayal AA) - Unanimous Gold Champion Filly
Shams Sharav AA (Simeon Sharav x Saniyyah RCA/Mishaal HP) - Gold Champion Stallion
All of our horses were beautifully shown by Arnauld Mertens who arrived from Belgium just a few days before the event and did an extraordinary job. Thank you, Arnold.
No less important was the exemplary work of Aws Asly and Mussa Nijm who taught our horses how to stand up well and show themselves to best advantage. They worked tirelessly on this training. Thank you, dear friends, for all your efforts.
But in the end the most important contribution to our success, quite naturally, is due to our outstanding farm “home team”, whose continued outstanding day-to-day contributions have never wavered over many long years. It took long months of hard and exacting work to arrive at such wonderful results. Heart-felt and sincere thank you from us to all of you. We love you all sincerely.
