Casanova
Casanova is a grey gelding, foaled in July 2001 in Germany. He was bred by Horst Blutbacher and is one of only three registered foals out of the mare VA Ghala Bint Galinka. Casanova represents a blend of American and Spanish bloodlines.
Before being gelded, Casanova was shown successfully as a young stallion. At the 2004 German National Championships, he competed in the class for three-year-old colts, where he placed first in his class.
Casanova’s sire, Sandstorm JC, is a grey stallion bred in the United States by Emeka and Donna Nchekwube. Foaled in 1989, Sandstorm JC is by Fame VF and out of Sids Marjuri. He earned early recognition as Canadian National Top Ten Futurity Colt in 1992.
Sandstorm JC’s sire, Fame VF+, was a bay stallion regarded as the top-siring son of Bey Shah+, who in turn was the Arabian breed’s leading living sire of halter champions during the 1980s. Fame VF+ earned the Legion of Honor (+) and achieved a successful show career under trainer Dick Adams, who promoted the stallion on the U.S. Arabian show circuit. Fame VF+ became a prolific sire of halter winners, transmitting the refinement, expressive heads, and presence for which this sire-line became renowned worldwide.
In 1998, Sandstorm JC was exported to Germany. Through Sandstorm JC, Casanova is paternal half-brother to BS Specific, French National Champion Stallion, European Champion Stallion and World Bronze Champion Stallion titles in 2007.
Casanova’s dam, VA Ghala Bint Galinka, is a grey mare of Straight Spanish breeding. Her sire, Calero, was bred in Spain and earned major titles as 1984 World Reserve Champion Colt and 1984 European Champion Colt. Calero became a valued sire in the Netherlands after his importation in 1983 and later went to the UK in 1990.
VA Ghala Bint Galinka’s dam, Mel Galinka, produced several notable offspring, including the multi-champion mare Galinka Rougelais. VA Ghala Bint Galinka traced to Arilla by Malvito, an excellent Spanish broodmare of the Sambry dam.line. Arilla produced Finta, Pintor, Uranio and Rastano (sire of the full-brothers Estopasan and Rastano Ibn Estopa)
Casanova was gelded and later used as riding horse without leaving any registered offspring.
Spruce Tamin
The grey Straight Egyptian mare Spruce Tamin was foaled in July 1987 in the United States, bred by Talaria Farms of John and Julia Stroube.
Spruce Tamin was sired by Prince Ibn Shaikh, a son of Shaikh Al Badi and RDM Maar Hala. Shaikh Al Badi was admired for siring refined and well-balanced offspring that embodied the classic desert type. Through him, Spruce Tamin traced to Morafic, one of the most influential Straight Egyptian sires in the development of the modern Arabian breeding program in the United States.
Spruce Tamin's dam, Chafa Al Bukra, by Ansata El Sherif and out of Wazifa, belonged to the Venus db dam-line. This line is known for producing mares of enduring broodmare strength and consistent type, for example the mare Zebeda by El Sareei who produced twelve registered foals including Shaker El Masri, foundation stallion at Om El Arab and lifelong companion of the legendary Estopa. Zebeda was also the dam of Waheeba, the great-granddam of Spruce Tamin..
The maternal grandsire Ansata El Sherif was a son by Ansata Ibn Halima and Ansata Bint Bukra, both foundation horses of Ansata Arabian Stud in the United States.
In the mid 1990's, Spruce Tamin was acquired by La Movida Arabians in Austria, the breeding program of Ferdinand Huemer, where she became part of his exclusive collection of mares. At La Movida Arabians she produced three fillies. Her first born daughter was her most notable one: LM Sadunga. LM Sadunga was a bay mare by the Spanish bred stallion El Perfecto. Some say, she was the most beautiful mare of her time. She became European Champion Filly in 1995.
Spruce Tamin and LM Sadunga were then acquired by Dieter Gerbaulet from Germany. For Gerbaulet, Spruce Tamin produced two more foals: Tamina by Scottsdale Champion Stallion FS Bengali and a colt named Shaikh Al Nizr by Anaza El Nizr. But it was her daughter LM Sadunga that continued the line of Spruce Tamin. At Gerbaulet's stud LM Sadunga established herself as an outstanding broodmare. Her first foal, Shaklan Ibn Bengali, was sired by FS Bengali and was German National Reserve Champion Colt in 1998, Swiss National Reserve Champion Stallion in 2006 and premium stallion in Germany.
Another son, the grey Ashur by Assad was premium stallion in Germany and sired Al Ashar, a German Elite Stallion, that has excelled in show jumping and dressage.
LM Sadunga’s grey daughter Sabrina (aka Sabrina VII) by Crusader was successfully halter shown. Another daughter of LM Sadunga continued Spruce Tamin's legacy in Spain: DG Bint Sadunga by Javier El Jamaal. In Spain, she became National Bronze Champion and Silver Champion Mare in 2012 and 2014 respectively, demonstrating that the family’s quality carried consistently through the generations.
Bint Al Shamal
The grey mare Bint Al Shamal was born in 2003. She was bred by King Abdullah Al Saud at Janadriya Farm in Saudi Arabia and later owned by Al Sayed Arabians.
Bint Al Shamal is by Koronec (Kubinec x Precious Me), a grey stallion born in 1993. Koronec earned the title of Junior Reserve Champion Colt at the 1994 German Nationals and followed this with the Junior National Champion Colt title in 1995. He was successfully as producer, too. He was the sire of El Sueno, German National Champion Colt 2001, and Exotic Pure, an valuable broodmare whose progeny includes Jaipur, a Gold Premium Stallion at Aachen in 2009. Koronec was lost to colic in 2009.
While Bint Al Shamal's paternal side includes Russian, Crabbet and Polish bloodlines, her dam, Thee Cover Girl (Thee Desperado x HMT Inasa), is a Straight Egyptian mare born in 1998. Thee Cover Girl descends from the dam line of El Dahma, over Bint Inas and Farida.
Bint Al Shamal has had a successful halter show career: As a filly, she claimed Champion Filly at the 2005 Saudi National Arabian Horse Championships. In senior classes, she was Champion Mare at The First Riyadh National Arabian Horse Show 2007-C Show and Reserve Senior Champion Mare at the 2007 All Nations Cup, highlighting her ability to compete successfully on both national and international stages. In Europe, she further distinguished herself, capturing Senior Champion Mare titles at the Strohen International B Show and the Vilhelmsborg International A Show in 2007.
For her home stud Al Sayed Arabians in Saudi Arabia, she produced 5 foals, 3 fillies and 2 colts so far.
Lobeke
When the grey stallion Lobeke trotted into a show ring, he was impossible to overlook — compact, athletic, with that unmistakable Spanish fire in his eye. Born in 1992 and standing about 15 hands high, Lobeke was bred in Spain by the Marquesa de Laula. Later owned by Zenith Arabians in the Netherlands, he would go on to build a career that few Arabians have managed to equal — as both a halter champion and a national-level eventer.
Lobeke’s pedigree read like a tribute to classic Spanish breeding. His sire, Fiolek (Zacateco × Rijeka), was a grey stallion of striking type and proven merit — Reserve World and European Champion Colt in 1984, later twice Spanish National Reserve Champion Stallion, and recipient of the 2006 WAHO Trophy from the Spanish Breed Association. Fiolek carried the male line of Seanderich, one of the desert-bred cornerstones of the Spanish studbooks, through Tabal.
On the dam’s side, Eleskirt (Testigo × Zoska) contributed the depth and continuity of the Beni-Khaled family, tracing to the 1918 grey mare imported from the Ottoman Imperial Stud Farm. Through Nevisca by Tabal — a paternal half-sister to the legendary Estopa — this family produced numerous show winners, including Pikara, 2008 Spanish National Reserve Champion Mare.
From such origins came a stallion who refused to fit into one category. Lobeke was athletic, intelligent, and eager to perform. In 2001 he achieved what few thought possible for a purebred Arabian: winning the Dutch National Eventing Championship against Warmblood horses. The feat astonished the sport-horse world and confirmed what his trainer Jan Calis had always believed — that Arabians, when bred and trained for purpose, could match their larger counterparts in courage and stamina. Those who saw him work remember his fearless jumps, sometimes over improvised obstacles, a testament to his trust and enthusiasm.
Yet Lobeke’s show career was no less remarkable. Across more than fifteen years in the ring, he maintained a consistent record at national and international level. He was Dutch National Senior Champion Stallion in 2006, Senior Champion Stallion at the St. Petersburg Open in 2008, and placed third in the All Nations Cup at Aachen both in 2002 and 2005. His other top placings included the Emerald Trophy, World Championships Top Ten Stallions, and multiple Dutch National and European Championships.
Lobeke passed on his beauty and versatility to his offspring. He sired over fifty foals, among them both purebreds and part-bred sport horses. His grey son Nago (x Nagarima) was Reserve Gelding at the Vilhelmsborg International in 2005, while Al Nile (x Flaxman’s Nile) carried his sire’s elegance into the Middle East, placing fifth in his class at the Jordan National Championships 2009. The mare Bint Al Arabia (x Al Arabiah) was also shown in halter in Jordan, continuing Lobeke’s international legacy. Even among his half-Arabian offspring, the type and presence were unmistakable — such as the pinto mare Layla (x Cheyenne), shown successfully in halter classes as a National Riding Pony.
Lobeke remained active into his senior years, placing first in his class at the 2010 All Nations Cup and third at the 2011 European Championships, closing a career that spanned nearly two decades.
Lobeke’s combination of Spanish beauty, conformation and athletic ability exemplifies the dual-purpose potential of Pure Spanish Arabians. His achievements in halter and international eventing, along with his influence through over fifty foals, marked him as a significant contributor to Dutch Arabian breeding program.
Hamra Aligance
Hamra Aligance was a grey, Straight Egyptian Arabian stallion foaled in May 1998. He was bred in Bavaria by Gaby Weixelbaum of Hamra Arabians. Standing about 15.2 hands high, he was licensed in Germany as a Premium Stallion.
Hamra Aligance was sired by Ali Valentino (Ruminaja Ali × Moniet), a grey stallion born in 1989 and bred in the United States. Ali Valentino became the chief sire at Hamra Arabians in Germany, where he produced a number of notable horses including Hamra Picasso, Hamra Akid, and Hamra Alimaar. He also sired Hamra Musics Memory, a full sister to Hamra Aligance who became an important broodmare at Hamra Stud.
Ali Valentino achieved recognition in European shows, being named Senior Champion Stallion at the International Show in Wels, Austria, in 1998 and earning a Gold Ribbon at his German stallion licensing.
The dam of Hamra Aligance, Sonbolahs Music (Ruminaja Bahjat × SF Bint Sonbolah), contributed equally important heritage. Her sire Ruminaja Bahjat and Ali Valentino’s sire Ruminaja Ali were full brothers, making Ali Valentino and Sonbolahs Music closely related.
Sonbolahs Music traced directly to the chestnut mare Sonbolah, a foundation mare at Hansi Heck’s Serenity Farm in Canada and U.S. National Champion Mare 1971. Sonbolah became a cornerstone of the Serenity breeding program and a strong influence in Egyptian lines worldwide. Sonbolahs Music produced five foals in total—one colt and four fillies—of which Hamra Aligance was the only male. Her daughters included Hamra Musics Memory and FS Kalua (by Neshan), the latter a valued broodmare in Israel.
Hamra Aligance began his show career early and achieved success across several countries. As a yearling, he was named German National Reserve Champion Colt 1999, already under his new owner: El Farida Arabians of Egypt. The same year he earned the title of Junior Reserve Champion Colt at the Egyptian Event Europe.
Standing in Egypt, he achieved his greatest competitive successes: Egyptian National Reserve Champion Stallion 2007 and Egyptian National Champion Stallion 2008. These titles placed him among the most successful straight Egyptian stallions shown in Egypt during that decade.
As a sire, Hamra Aligance left a significant mark, especially in Egypt. His offspring inherited much of his refinement and show presence, and several achieved notable success in competition. In Egypt, his daughter Eidayya Al Sayyad (out of Adalah) was named Junior Champion Filly at the Egyptian National Championships in 2014, while Majd Al Farida (out of Erada) won the Silver Champion Stallion title at the same event. Another of his Egyptian-born sons, Sohail Al Yasser (out of Waad Al Yasser), continued the line’s success by becoming Junior Gold Champion Colt at the Rabab B International Arabian Horse Championship in 2017.
His influence also extended beyond Egypt. In Italy, his daughter Ardita Mitraexsotik (out of Omega Di Loris) was crowned Senior Gold Champion Mare at the Arabian Horse Show in Castellana Sicula in 2012, while Nizar (out of Sissy by Ishtar) was awarded Silver Champion Stallion at the same venue in 2011.
Through these successful sons and daughters, Hamra Aligance established a reputation as a sire capable of transmitting his elegance, balance and type.
Koalicja
Foaled in 1918 at the Radautz State Stud in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (today Romania), the grey mare Koalicja was one of the most valuable broodmares at Janów Podlaski State Stud. She represented the noble Saqlawiyah strain, tracing to the Polish foundation mare Milordka.
Koalicja -also known as Koheilan IV-4 at Radautz - was imported to Poland in 1919, as part of the effort to restore the Polish Arabian breeding program that had been nearly destroyed during the war years. From the beginning, she drew admiration for her exquisite, classic head—a hallmark of Arabian type that became widely recognized as a symbol of beauty and refinement in Polish breeding. Her head was so celebrated that it later adorned the logo of the German Arabian registry, cementing her status as an enduring symbol of the ideal Arabian type.
Koalicja’s sire, Koheilan IV, born in 1904 and bred at the Bábolna State Stud in Hungary, was a son of Koheilan II and 124 O’Bajan. He was also the sire of Koheilan I, an influential stallion at Bábolna and later in Poland. In 1925, Koheilan IV was exported to Germany as part of an exchange between Bábolna and Weil Stud, a measure taken by both institutions to prevent inbreeding within their pure Arabian herds.
Despite his advanced age, Koheilan IV proved a valuable sire at Weil. Among his notable Weil bred offspring were the mares Caesarea and Seerösle, both established their own family at Weil, and the stallion Landsknecht, later exported to Poland, where he achieved distinction as a racehorse.
Koalicja’s dam, Amurath, also known as 238 Amurath-25, was foaled in 1901. She was sired by Amurath 'Weil' and out of Koheil III. Amurath was bred at Radautz which breeding program was known for producing horses with strong bone, endurance, and noble type. The program focused on developing horses that were suitable for military and agricultural work, emphasizing durability and versatility.
At Radautz, Amurath produced four foals: Besides the grey Koalicja, three fillies by Marzouk (none of which left purebred descendants).
At Janów Podlaski, Koalicja quickly distinguished herself as a broodmare of exceptional worth and one of the matriarchs of Poland’s breeding program. Between 1923 and 1932, she produced seven registered purebred Arabian foals. Her sons and daughters became the foundation of a dynasty that shaped Arabian breeding mainly in Poland, Germany and Russia.
Her first recorded foal was the grey stallion Enwer Bey (1923, by Abu Mlech), who established himself as an influential sire. His sons included Halef, an excellent sire of broodmares at Achental and Marbach, later rescued after World War II by Gertrude Griesbach, and Trypolis, an accomplished racehorse and sire. Enwer Bey’s daughter Taraszcza became one of the most prolific broodmares of her era, producing 18 registered purebred foals, ten stallions and eight mares, thereby perpetuating Koalicja’s legacy through numerous lines.
Koalicja’s first bred daughter was Federacja (1923, by Burgas), a mare whose influence spanned continents. She produced nine purebred Arabian foals, among them the legendary Witez II (by Ofir, 1938), who was exported to the United States, where he became one of the most admired Polish sires of the 20th century. Federacja herself was lost during World War II.
In 1929, Koalicja foaled Konfederacja (by Farys II), who was taken to Russia in 1939. There she produced six registered foals, including the mare Norka (by Naseem), dam of Naivnyi and Nartan.
Among Koalicja’s later foals were two full siblings by Fetysz: the stallion Miecznik (1931) and the mare Niezgoda (1932). Miecznik became chief sire at Micha?ów Stud from 1949 to 1954, siring 31 registered purebred Arabians. His offspring included Ela (dam of Elstera, Espartero and Essaul), Marabut, and especially Aquinor, one of the most notable sires in postwar Polish breeding. Miecznik's younger full sister Niezgoda was taken to Russia in 1939, where she produced eight purebred foals.
Through these remarkable progeny, Koalicja became a matriarch of international importance. Her descendants left indelible marks on the studs of Janów, Michalów, Tersk, Achental, and far beyond. Her refined beauty and classic head came to symbolize the elegance and nobility of the Polish Arabian, and her genetic legacy continues to shape the breed to this day.
