Exactly 20 years after our mare Loubna (Imperial Imdal x Imperial Kalatifa) was named Gold Champion Mare at the All Nations Cup in Aachen, another Ariela home-bred horse was named Gold Champion at this important show. This time it was Fajer AA...

Shown by Mussa Nejm, Fajer performed superbly in his class, scoring 92.38 points, including six perfect scores of 20 for movement! It felt like the old days of Aachen; when so many people around the ring cheered for the great performance of this fairytale white horse. He simply flew around the ring... 

With this great score, Fajer led his age group and the next day he was named Gold Champion Junior Colt! What a tremendous achievement for this horse and to our breeding program. 

Fajer AA ("Fajer" is sunrise in Arabic) is a son of the multi-champion Shanghai EA (WH Justice x Salymah) out of one of our best mares, Fadwa AA (Fadi Al Shaqab x Donya Jamal by Nader Al Jamal). The future looks bright for this young horse...

We wish to thank Tom Oben and his wonderful team! You all did so well with Fajer and you are deserving of our sincerest thanks and gratitude!!!
