Baha AA is a grey stallion of Straight Egyptian breeding, noted for his classic Arabian type with large, dark eyes, refined head and shimmering silver coat. Baha AA’s exceptional conformation and breed type make him stand out.
Born in 2011 and bred by Chen Kedar of Ariela Arabians in Israel, Baha AA is by Al Ayad and out of Baraaqa AA.
His sire Al Ayad descends from Nazeer’s line and carries legendary Straight Egyptian stallions like Morafic, Ansata Ibn Halima, and Ruminaja Ali in his pedigree.
Through Al Ayad, Baha AA is half-brother to Al Ayal AA (x The Vision HG), a successful show champion in the Middle East. His sire Al Ayad was a successful halter show horse too. He was awarded e.g. Senior Champion at the Israeli Egyptian Event in 2006 and Asil Cup Champion in 2008. Al Ayad died in 2009 at the age of 10.
Baha’s dam Baraaqa AA, a Laheeb daughter out of The Vision HG, makes him closely related to both Al Ayal AA and World Champion Stallion Al Lahab. Her dam, Al Baraqai AA, added extra refinement through Baahir.
Baha AA himself was succesfully halter shown. Still in Israel, he was named Israeli National Champion Colt in 2011 and Egyptian Event Europe Senior Champion Stallion in 2013. Later he was leased to the U.S.where he won the Egyptian Event Champion Stallion title n 2014. Through his success at the Egyptian Event, Jeff Sloan got aware of Baha AA and acquired him later that year. He and his partners, in cooperation with Midwest Training and Breeding Centre, have stationed Baha AA in Scottsdale, Arizona, a major center of Arabian horse breeding in the United States. His first foal crop in the United States has been well received, and he is expected to continue contributing to breeding programs in the coming years.
