Flisak
Flisak was a grey stallion by the Janow Podlaski chief sire Bakszysz. Bakszysz was a son by the desert bred Ilderim who came to Slawuta Stud, Poland in 1900. Ilderim left only a hand-full of foals but his son Bakszysz was an excellent sire. Through him, the sire-line of Ilderim became very important in Poland.
Besides Flisak, Bakszysz sired the grey stallion Fetysz who was chief sire at Janow as well before he was transferred to Trakehnen where he became an influential producer.
Although he contributed a chief sire to Janow and Trakehnen, Bakszysz was better known for producing excellent broodmares. Among his daughters were Dora (maternal granddam of Mammona), Dziewanna (dam of Piolun, Skrzyp and Roszmaryn), Limba or the dam of Wielki Szlem and Lowelas, the bay Elegantkah.
Flisak was the second born foal and first born son to the grey mare Elstera. Elstera was bred and born at the Antoniny stud, sired by Ibrahim, the same Ibrahim who sired the legendary Skowronek. Her dam was Lezginka sired by the desert import Obejan Szarak. Lezginka traced to the Slawuta mare Szweykowska. Elstera also produced Polish Derby Oaks winner Ikwa.
Also Flisak was raced and won the Polish Derby in 1927. Although he lacked of Arabian type he was used as sire at Janow Podlaski due to his racing career. His first foal crop was born at Janow in 1931. Among those first foals was the mare Mokka who was out of Dziwa, the dam of Ofir and Taki Pan. Mokka was the dam of Lotnik, exported to the US in 1945 and the dam of Mokdiara, granddam of the grey stallion Madrygal by Naborr who was exported to the US in 1966 standing at Sandy Acres Farms siring 62 foals until his death in 1965.
Flisak's second daughter, that should be named here, was the chestnut Ba-Ida (or Baida). Ba-Ida was imported by General Dickinson of Travelers Rest Farm in the USA. There she produced the black stallion Bataan. Bataan was given to the US Government where he was used in the Remount Service, known as The Black Arab of the Remount.
Another daughter by Flisak was Cemira who went to Tersk Stud in 1939. She is the dam of the excellent broodmare Cerekiew, the dam of Carycyn, Czester and Ceramika.
Although his daughters contributed nicely to the breed, none of his sons bred on. One of Flisak's last registered foals was the stallion Atlas born in 1940 who died tragically in February 1945 during the WW II. The whereabouts of his sire Flisak during WW II is not known. Maybe he died during flight, too.
Safeer By Sibilla
Safeer By Sibilla is a Straight Egyptian stallion sired by MG Magic Ghassan. MG Magic Ghassan is a grandson by Ansata Hejazi. His dam is the beautiful mare Classic Lohelia.
Safeer By Sibilla's dam is Magic Sibilla who also has bloodlines of Ansata Arabian Stud in her pedigree. Her sire is the grey stallion Ansata Shaamis, one of the last sons by Ansata Halim Shah. Ansata Shaamis was exported to Italy in 1997 where he sired most of his foals. He was later exported to Brazil in 2010.
Magic Sibilla's dam is Ansata Shakilah, a bay Ansata Sirius daughter and Dalul granddaughter who was imported to Italy in 2003.
The grey Safeer By Sibilla was acquired by Hanaya Stud, Switzerland who showed him successfully in Europe. He was Austrian Gold Senior Champion Stallion in 2018, Prague Intercup Silver Senior Champion Stallion in 2020 and German Gold Senior Champion Stallion in 2022.
Queen of Sheba
It took two years until Wilfrid and Lady Ann Blunt acquired a desert bred mare from the Sheikh of Gomussa called Beteyen Ibn Mirshid. They always referred to her as Beteyen's mare. When they finished negotiations in 1878, they brought the mare to their Crabbet Park stud in England. This brown mare with her four white feet was then named 'Queen of Sheba'. Queen of Sheba was born in 1975 and was an Obeyah Sherrakiyah. She was a big mare for that time (15hh) with a good head and fine nostrils and ears. Her back and quarter were strong and she carried her tail high. The Blunts considered her as the most superior mare they had seen during their visits in the desert.
At Crabbet Park Queen of Sheba gave birth to three full-brothers by the desert bred import Kars and two daughters who both died young. One daughter was by the desert bred Pharaoh and the other by Roala (a son by Kars).
Her most influential foals however were born after 1890, two were by the desert bred Azrek and four by the Egyptian stallion Mesaoud. The Azrek daughter was named Asfura and was the only daughter of Queen of Sheba that survived and secured the maternal line of Queen of Sheba, mostly through her great-granddaughter Astrella by Raseem. The Azrek son Ahmar sired excellent broodmares like Bereyda, Namusa, Siwa and Bukra but left no son of importance.
The Queen of Sheba's son that stuck out from the others, however, was the bay stallion Astraled by Mesaoud who is considered Straight Egyptian. He was the sire of Sotamm and Rustem who were exported to Egypt in 1920 where they become significant sires. Astraled also sired important daughters like Rim, Riyala and Selima who founded their own families. Astraled was exported to the U.S. in 1909 were he sired Gulastra, his most influential son.
Astraled was Queen of Sheba's last foal born in 1900. She was put down in 1901 at the age of 26 having lived most of her life at Crabbet Park.
Halef
The bay stallion Halef was born in 1937 at the Polish state stud of Janow Podlaski where he was better known as 'Towarzysz Pancerny' which means 'Armoured companion'.
His sire was Enwer Bey, a son by Abu Mlech out of the beautiful Koalicja by Koheilan IV. Enwer Bey sired 9 foals, four stallions and five mares. Besides Halef, Enwer Bey produced the stallion Trypolis. Trypolis was a race horse sire in Poland. The grey stallion also sired Taraszcza, a little grey mare who was taken to Russia in 1939 as a two years old where she became a significant broodmare, producing the stallion Negatiw by Naseem and the mares Nitochka and Teplitsa.
Enwer Bey was lost during WW II before he could sire more foals.
Halef's dam was Kasztelanka, a moderately successful racing mare. She was a daughter by Koheilan I who was a paternal half-brother to Koalicja. Kasztelanka's dam was the grey Bialogrodka by Orjent. Bialogrodka traced to the dam line of Elsissa, a Hadbah Enzahiyah mare.
In 1938, Kasztelanka - in foal to Ofir - was sold to Henry B. Babson in the United States. At Babson's farm she gave birth to Warsaw in 1939; followed by a son and a daughter, both by the Egyptian stallion Fadl. The mentioned son by Fadl was the famous Fadheilan who was the sire of Fadneeka (maternal granddam of Khemosabi) and of the 'Fabulous Fadjur'. Fadjur was leading sire in the 60's leaving around 800 foals.
Back to Halef: Grewing up at Janow Podlaski where he sired only two foals, he had to be evacuated in 1939. Ridden by a corporal, he came to (West) Germany.
Before ending up as a farm horse, the bay stallion was acquired by Getraude Griesbach for her Achental Stud in Bavaria. Mrs. Griesbach was one of the first private German Arabian horse breeders after WW II. Halef was described as a solid and correct horse with less Arabian type though. But he was a perfect match to Griesbach's mares from Babolna bloodlines.
At Aachental, he sired the stallion Kalif and the mares Joschi, Kassandra and Koralle, all excellent broodmares and foundation mares of the German breeding program. Another daughter with influence was Sabine (x Sabha), privately bred by Dr. Kurt Entress, Nuertingen/Germany who was the dam of Sawih Ibn Wisznu (by Wisznu, a Witez son).
Through his successful offspring, Marbach state stud leased him between 1951 and 1958. At Marbach, Halef sired the stallion Haladin and the mares Hathor, Hajar, Hamdi, Hawisad and Haita. The mare Hathor was the dam of Smoky and of the two full-sister Shari and Sanacht, latter who founded her own family in Canada. Hamdi was the dam of Dschadaah, World Senior Champion Mare in Paris.
Descendants of these Marbach daughters are still part of the stud's broodmare band today.
Halef spent his final years at the Osthoff manor near Osnabrueck, Germany where he died in 1964 at the age of 27.
He was credited German Elite stallion postmortem.
Sheikh El Arab
In March 1933 the bay Kazmeen daughter Bint Sabah gave birth to a grey colt on the Egyptian soil of Kafr Farouk, the stud of Abbas Pascha I. The colt was named Sheikh El Arab, the 'Arabian leader'. Sheikh El Arab matured into a noble grey stallion with silver grey mane and tail who turned totally white in his later years.
Sheikh El Arab's dam Bint Sabah was a daughter out of Sabah, a chestnut daughter by Mabrouk Manial out of Bint Obeya who traced to El Dahma, a Dahmah Shahwaniyah.
His sire was the grey Mansour. Mansour was well known for siring Nazeer, the legendary Egyptian sire at Inshass Stud and El Zahraa.
Although his paternal half-brother was the most influential son by Mansour, RAS chief sire Sheikh El Arab produced excellent foals that resembled him amazingly. Especially his daughters were of significance.
First of all there was his grey daughter Yosreia who produced the grey stallion Aswan. He became the most influential sire in modern Russia. Yosreia also produced the black mare Mogha by El Sareei (dam of U.S. Reserve National Champion Mare Nahlah) and the grey Farasha by Sid Abouhom (dam of Farazadac and Galal).
Another grey daughter of his was Kamla. Kamla was the dam of Hadban Enzahi (or also called Kamel) who was exported to Germany to become the chief sire at Marbach State Stud.
Then there was his bay daughter Halima who was the dam of Ansata Ibn Halima, foundation stallion of Ansata Arabians in the U.S.
And of course Sheikh El Arab sired the chestnut mare Wanisa who made him the maternal grandsire of the 'Queen of the Nile', the beautiful Egyptian mare Moniet El Nefous.
Sheik El Arab who was considered by General von Szandtner as exceptional sire that marked his offspring died at the age of 12 in 1945.
Pyramid Aalin
When the Wagner family of Ammerbuch-Altingen/Germany bred their Straight Egyptian mare Pyramid Set El Nil to the grey Straight Egyptian stallion Ali Valentino in 1999, they expected an exotic foal with correct body and legs and excellent movements. One year later, the result of the mating was the colt Pyramid Aalin that kept the promise of an exotic look combined with good body, legs and floating gaits plus the beautiful dark bay color of his dam with no white.
His sire Ali Valentino was a son by Ruminaja Ali, a top sire in the US in the 80's, out of Moniet, an Ibn Moniet El Nefous daughter. The Canadian-born Ali Valentino was exported to the Bavarian located Hamra Stud of Gaby Weixelbaum. He was the most known Ruminaja Ali son in Germany besides MA Alishah. Unfortunately both were less used.
Pyramid Ali's dam, Pyramid Set El Nil was a foundation mare of the Wagner family that excelled with her exotic beauty and correctness. She was by Ansata El Salaam, a chestnut Ansata Shah Zaman grandson who had Ansata Ibn Halim on his dam's side. While her sire traces in all lines to Ansata breeding from the US, Pyramid Set El Nil's dam Ghandoura El Saghira included in her pedigree the finest Straight Egyptian horses you could find in Germany at that time, including the Nazeer son Kaisoon.
After the Wagner foundation mare gave birth to Pyramid Aalin, Pyramid Set El Nil produced three more foals, all fillies: Pyramid Aalia, a black full-sister to Pyramid Aalin, and the Al Lahab full-sisters Pyramid Laneya and Pyramid Lutfiyah. Unfortunately, Pyramid Set El Nile could not leave behind more foals as she died way too early in 2006 at the age of 9.
As her only son, Pyramid Aalin was highly promoted at shows. In 2006, he was awarded Silver Champion stallion at the German Nationals. Four years before, as a 4 years old, the bay Ali Valentino son was licensed with a Silver Ribbon at the central German stallion licensing show in Aachen. As a sire, however, Pyramid Aalin produced only a hand-full of foals that have not bred on.
