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.

What a wonderful start...
We would like to congratulate Johanna Ullström & Jeremy Malou for breeding this beautiful grey filly by Al Wahab AA! This filly is out of GT Shaharaah (Sharahm x TF Shahraaz)
Al Wahab AA is the youngest of our most important "Golden Cross". He is sired by Laheeb out of The Vision HG. That makes him a full bother to a great lineup of famous horses! His oldest brother is one of the most decorated Straight Egyptian horses ever; Al Lahab - World Champion Stallion. His other full siblings are all champions, including Al Hadiyah AA and Al Raheeb AA and Al Halah AA. Al Halah AA is also the great greatmother of World Champion EKS Farajj.
From his dam's side, Al Wahab is a half brother to Dubai Junior Champion colt and Bronze Champion Stallion Al Ayal AA (the only horse at the 2018 World Championship who received perfect scores of 20 for Type across the board), 1999 All Nations Cup Reserve Junior Champion Al Maraam and My Vision AA - Gold Champion Yearling Filly at the Mediterranean Arab Arabian Horse Championship, Menton.
This filly is Al Wahab's firstborn since he arrived at Johanna and Jeremy's beautiful farm in France. She is the first but we hope more beautiful fillies will come! Well done guys!

We would like to congratulate Mamoun and Omar Kitany on the birth of this beautiful Straight Egyptian grey filly sired by one of our junior stallions, Shams Al Din AA (Shams Sharav AA x Ralia/Laheeb).
Alf Mabrouk!
Alf Mabrouk!
Alf Mabrouk to our dear friend Salman Basha, a long time keen breeder of Straight Egyptian horses! Salman has been leasing one of our junior stallions, Adnan AA, for the past two years. Now, after seeing some of Adnan's first foals mature, and being extremely pleased with their high quality, Salman has made the decision to acquire this unique Egyptian stallion for his own breeding program.
Adnan AA is a son of the Al Baydaa bred stallion Kenz Al Baydaa, who was kindly leased to our stud for two breeding sessions by his owner, Hanaya Stud. Adnan's dam is the beautiful mare Atiq Adara, bred and owned by Idan Atiq Arabian Stud. She is a rare daughter of the German-bred stallion Al Ayad (Moheeb x Al Mamunah by Maysoun). tracing back in tail female to the root mare Venus, bred by the Shammar Bedouin.
Atiq Adara's dam is the champion mare Alhambra B, bred by the Babolna Stud in Hungary and chosen by Idan Atiq as a foundation mare. She was sired by one of the breed's most important sires, Salaa Al Dine (Ansata Halim Shah x Hanan), bred by Dr. Nagel of Germany. His dam, Hanan, was a game-changer for Straight Egyptian breeding, and is one of the most important Arabian mares of all time. Alhambra B traces back in tail-female to the RAS bred mare Bint Zareefa, a daughter of Balance and Zareefa, who traces to the very valuable Egyptian foundation mare Bint El Bahreyn, born in 1898, of the Dahman Shahwan strain.
We wish Salman good luck with Adnan AA and look forward to using this young stallion on our own mares in the future.
