On a hot Californian summer day of 2005, Om El Shadeeka gave birth to her first foal, a chestnut colt with flaxen mane and tail. Sigi Constanti of Om El Arab, the breeder of the colt, named him Om El Shampane. The name fits his color coat very well.
Om El Shampane's dam Om El Shadeeka is a daughter by Sanadik El Shaklan and out of Om El Shaina. Om El Shaina was the second last daughter of the legendary Spanish mare Estopa, the foundation mare of Sigi's Om El Arab Stud.
Om El Shampane's sire is the grey stallion Al Lahab. Al Lahab by Laheeb IASB is a very well known halter show horse in Europe from Straight Egyptian bloodlines. As a Junior horse, he was European Champion and Reserve All Nations Cup Champion Colt. In 2006, Al Lahab was All Nations Cup and World Champion Stallion. Three years later, he competed in the Nations Cup and in Paris again where he was awarded Senior Gold and Senior Silver Champion Stallion respectively.
Born in California, Om El Shampane was imported to Germany in 2007 where he has been standing at Wagner Arabians ever since where he produced around 20 foals plus some foals for different other breeders. Besides his purebred offspring, he sired a Half-Arabian pinto and an Appaloosa colt.
The chestnut Al Lahab son was never halter shown but Om El Shampane was a awarded with a Silver ribbon at the stallion licensing in Aachen in 2008. He has been trained under saddle and officially showed his ride-ability by passing his field inspection test (section: Dressage) at Luhmühlen in 2011.
