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.
Anatevka 1999
Anatevka's dam is the chestnut Straight Russian mare Amunika who was bred and born at Kossack Stud in the Netherlands and later sold to Germany where she foaled Anatevka. Amunika's dam Amunitia (or Amunicia in Russia) by Antey was imported to Kossack from Tersk while in foal with her. Amunika's sire was the bay Naftalin son Karnaval who was used as chief sire in Terks before he was exported to Kossack Stud, too. Later he went to Italy.
While her dam is Straight Russian, Anatevka's sire Kuwait is only half. Kuwait was sired by the late World Senior Champion Stallion Kubinec who was born and raised at Tersk and later sold to the Stöckle family in Germany. Kuwait's dam Jasminah, however is from old German bloodlines bred by the Koch family. Her dam Jarissah traces back to the Marbach bred mare Jemen who is from the old Murana mare family.
Jasminah's sire Mansuhri was sired by Mansul. Mansul was the patriarch at the stud of Walter and Adele Koch. This impressive stallion with a very correct body was a direct great grandson by the Polish bred Witez II.
Anatevka foaled two registered colts in 2007 and 2008 respectively. One colt by the name of DA Athos, sired by Alishaar El Bri and another colt, Nashanij by the Straight Egyptian Thee Desperado son El Allah Abu.
FM Shah Mahes
FM Shah Mahes is a Straight Egyptian son by Mahadin captivates by his movements and beautiful head and neck. His sire Mahadin is a son by German elite stallion Madkour I who was sired by the Egyptian import Hadban Enzahi. Hadban Enzahi was used at Marbach state stud and produced excellent broodmares that have been stamped by him.
Mahadin himself was on lease to Marbach in 2008/2009 siring stallion Naoufil (x Namije) who is now used at stud.
FM Shah Mahes dam Dahmraks Asjah Bint Ashira is a daughter by El Thay Shah Manial, a grandson resulting from Ansata Halim Shah's lease to Germany in the early 1980's. Asjah Bint Ashira's damline traces to German elite mare OM El Arab, an Egyptian mare bred at Badeia Stables and imported to Germany by Rüdiger Merz/Om El Arab in 1971. Ten years later, having produced 6 foals, Om El Arab was acquired by Siegfried and Brigitte Kübe and became their foundation mare producing another 10 foals.
Coco Shanel IA
The chestnut mare Coco Shanel IA was sired by Padrons Psyche. Padrons Psyche was by Russian/Crabbet bred stallion Padron out of Kilika, a Straight Russian daughter by Tamerlan. Padrons Psyche was very well-known for siring excellent performance and halter show horses, among those are World Senior Champion Mare Psyches Amber Gem, US National Senior Champion Stallion Enzo and -not to forget- Magnum Psyche, his most producing son and also US National Senior Champion Stallion. Exported to Belgium in his later years, Padrons Psyche died there in 2017.
Coco Shanel IA's dam Shahlica was a daughter by Bey Shah. US National Reserve and Scottsdale Reserve Champion Stallion Bey Shah was sired by Bay El Bey. Bey Shah was foaled in 1976 and was known for producing offspring with excellent conformation, movement, and athleticism. Some of his notable offspring include Fame VF, Bint Bey Shah and RSD Dark Victory (great grand sire of Int. Champion RFI Farid). Bey Shah passed away in 1999, but his influence on the Arabian breed has continued through his descendants.
Coco Shanel IA was imported from USA to Italy in 2006. Later she was sold to Al Shaqab stud that showed her in the Middle East. In 2012, she was Silver Senior Champion Mare at the Qatar International Arabian Horse Show. For Al Shaqab stud, she brought 4 fillies and 1 colt.
Adonah
The grey stallion Adonah was born in 1936 at the Ujazd Stud of Baron Bicker in Poland. The baron started his breeding program by importing four Crabbet mares. Among those mares was the chestnut Fasila, a daughter by Rasim who was also imported to Ujazd Stud along the mares in the 1920's.
Baron Bicker leased the stallion Fetysz between 1933 and 1935 which became the sire of 3 of Fasila's foals. One was a filly and the other two ones where the stallions Sulejman and Adonah. Sulejman was imported by Henry Babson of the United States while Adonah was kept in Poland.
Sire Fetysz was not only a successful Arabian horse producer but he was also chief sire at Trakehnen between 1936 and 1940 where he sired the Trakehner stallion Famulus. Famulus was the sire of Maharadscha whose sire-line is still active today among the Trakehner breed.
Fetysz was evacuated from Trakehnen in 1940/1941 and went lost during WW II after he was captured by the Russians.
Unlike his sire, Adonah survived WW II when he was brought to a private breeder in Poznan in 1943 from whom he was sent to Germany during the final days of the war.
From 1946 to 1949 he was state sire near Stendal before he was transferred to Berlin. In 1952, Dr. Karl Lehmann acquired him for his private stud in Haldensleben, East Germany where the Fetysz son nicked well with the Babolna bred mare Rozka who Dr. Lehmann acquired from Achental Stud. The mating produced four significant full-siblings: the stallions Abdullah and Raswan and the mares Risala and Rawanah.
Adonah was standing in Haldensleben until the sudden death of Dr. Lehmann in 1959.
The Zoo in Rostock took him over to help building up their Arabian horse breeding program, mostly based on Polish bloodlines. In Rostock, he produced only three purebred foals of which one was his most influential daughter: Arabella. This grey mare was a daughter out of Armenia by Witraz. Arabella was the dam of Arabeske who was considered the best Arabian mare bred by Zoo Rostock. Arabeske was awarded German Elite mare.
Th second daughter was Maruschka out of Grazyna by Roszmaryn. The last purebred Adonah sired was his only son born in Rostock. With the Marabut daughter Galka he produced the chestnut stallion Akif. Akif produced the stallion Achmed (x Rumailla by Jager) who became a well-trained dressage horse under Jutta Hell.
In 1963, Adonah died at the age of 27 in Rostock.
