The grey Straight Egyptian stallion NK Bolbol was a son by Salaa El Dine. Salaa El Dine was sired by Ansata Halim Shah who is was bred by the famous Ansata Stud of Don and Judith Forbis in the US. Ansata Halim Shah was a son by Ibn Halima, a stallion that was imported from El Zahraa to the US as a yearling. Salaa El Dine's dam was Hanan, the foundation mare of Dr. Nagel's Katharienhof, the breeder of NK Bolbol.
NK Bolbol's dam is Sanana whose sire Nahaman was also a son by Salaa El Dine. Sanana is the dam of NK Oteyba, a black full-brother to NK Bolbol.
NK Bolbol whose name means 'The Nightingale' impresses by his classic beauty and his riding horse qualities. His disposition and beauty convinced the German National stud of Marbach to lease him for two breeding seasons to cover their Straight Egyptian and asil mares. At Marbach, he produced the bay stallion Musab, now chief sire at stud as well as the black full-sisters Namije and Napirai, both proven broodmares at Marbach. Furthmore, he sired Nuriye (x Nureddinna), a successful endurance horse.
NK Bolbol is now retired from breeding and enjoys his days as leisure time horse but is still flirting with mares when they're passing his stable.
