We have been blessed...
Yes, over the years we have been blessed with some beautiful foals, some we kept for our breeding program, but many good ones were sold to some wonderful people. Every keen breeder knows that every now and then we get foals that make our hearts beat a bit faster, and a bit louder. For us, it happened when we get a foal (or foals, in this case) that are truly the results of our own breeding program. It is always more fun when you are the breeder behind the idea of crossing these horses in order to create your own dream.
This year it was the case when two very special fillies were born within two days of each other. The sires of these fillies are father and son, and the dams are mother and daughter. Crossing them together is just the essence of a breeding program in our opinion.
The first filly is sired by Shams Sharav AA, a son of the great stallion Simeon Sharav (Asfour x Simeon Shuala) out of our breeding pearl, Saniyyah RCA (Mishaal HP x My Shooting Star by Thee Desperado), a mare whose influence on our breeding program is equal to the influence of The Vision HG. The dam of this filly is the most exquisite young mare Nour Al Jamal, a daughter of the great sire Nader Al Jamal (Ansata Sinan x Savannah CC) out of Noya AA.
The second filly is sired by the extreme typey stallion Shams Al Din AA, a son of Shams Sharav AA (mentioned above) and the Laheeb (Imperial Imdal x AK Latifa) daughter Ralya (out of Sahara PG by Botswana). The dam of this filly is Noya AA herself, a mare who has her own fan club. Noya AA is a stunning flea-bitten grey beauty, a daughter of Al Ayal AA (Al Ayad x The Vision HG) out of Insha Sha Latifa (Ansata Selman x Naffada by Imperial Imdal).
So, for us, this is what breeding is all about. Now, just look at these little girls and feel our happiness and satisfaction.
