(The Minstril x AK Shahlima) This gorgeous Al Khamsa mare is our Straight Egyptian foundation mare. She has consistently produced exceptional foals for us and has been a great ambassador for the Arabian breed at various community events. Sired by the popular US Top Ten stallion, The Minstril, and out of the lovely *Ibn Moniet El Nefous daughter and halter champion AK Shahlima, Lady Minstril has an outstanding pedigree full of champions. Her foals are consistent with type, size, and disposition. Her first foal by Prince Rex, Wizare, was 2003 Region 16 Futurity Champion stallion. Her daughter Shaarin (by Black Shaadow) was a Class A Junior Champion mare as a yearling, as well as winning in AOTH mare classes. The SE gelding Khidron (by Hawkeye CC) raced successfully, went on to place well in hunter paces, and has been shown in dressage. Aalimaar (by Prince Rex) is shown successfully in 4-H shows and much loved by a young girl. HL Nadir, also by Prince Rex, had been shown successfully up to the State Level in 4-H. After producing 3 colts by Prince Rex, in 2008 Lady has finally produced a filly by Rex. Kaahileh is everything we could have hoped for. (Photos taken at age 20.)

Bint Maalima

(Prince Ibn Shaikh x AK Maalima) This Straight Egyptian, Al Khamsa, Heirloom/El Deree mare is sired by noted broodmare sire, most classic winner, and halter champion Prince Ibn Shaikh. Bint is an extremely typey mare that has produced two outstanding bay fillies for us by Prince Rex. In 2005, we were blessed with the exotic Fahimah, and in 2008, Bint and Rex did it again with another stunning bay filly, Fasharah, who recently sold to Kuwait. Bint is once again in foal to Prince Rex for a June 2011 foal. (Photos taken at age 20.)

Kris Nasama

(Shaikh El Sherif x Jai Kris Image) Kris Nasama (Kandi) is a big 2002 bay, Straight Egyptian, Al Khamsa mare. Kandi's sire is a multi-champion in halter, country English pleasure, and pleaure driving, and has recently been exported to the Czech Republic. Her dam is a daughter of Sultanns Image, who was a champion hunter pleasure horse. Kandi has 5 crosses to Sameh on her dam's side. She is tail female to El Samraa, through *RH Desert Hawa. Says Anita Enander of the Institute of the Desert Arabian Horse, "You have a genetically rare gem there." Kris Nasama has had one foal, Al Moussameh by Prince Rex.

Fahimah

(Prince Rex x Bint Maalima) This beautiful 2005 SE/AKfilly is the first foal of the Prince Rex/Bint Maalima cross. We couldn’t be more pleased with this young mare. She is 43.75% Babson Egyptian, and we love the look: straight legs, deep heart girth, solid build, exotic head. We look forward to seeing her mature and become even more lovely.

Kaahileh

(Prince Rex x Lady Minstril) After many years of waiting for Lady Minstril to grace us with a Straight Egyptian filly, she finally came through for us in 2008. Kaahileh is growing up to be a lovely, substantial mare, and is everything we could want as a replacement for her beautiful dam.
