After a one year break due to the Covid-19, the 2021 World Championship was held at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. As we have done over many years, we tried to show at least one or two of our home-bred horses in this show. This year we entered two horses; Sereen AA (Al Ayal AA x Saniyyah RCA) a 2020 Straight Egyptian filly, and Despina AA.
Unfortunately, Sereen was not feeling well so she did not make it to Paris. Hopefully next year she will. Despina AA, our two-year-old filly, was shown beautifully by Arnauld Mertens and named Top Ten Filly!!!!! This is a great result for this young filly. Her sire is the Brazilian bred stallion Jyar Meia Lua (RFI Maktub x Jiullya El Jamal), out of Damdiyah AA (Ajman Moniscione x Dafina AA). Dafina AA is a daughter of Al Bilal (Al Maraam x Bahiha by Baahir) out of the Michalow bred mare Dumka (Laheeb x Dabrowa by Probat). Dumka was one of the first Laheeb foals born in Poland after his historic lease to the Janow and Michalow Studs.
In 2006 Dumka foaled the multi champion mare Dafina AA (out of Al Bilal). During the last few years this mare has managed to create her own mini-dynasty within our breeding program. Despina AA is one of the members of this precious family.
We wish to thank Arnauld Mertens, Raphael Curti and the wonderful team of Privilege Arabians! You all did an amazing job with our filly! Thank you!
