Redwood Lodge Essine
The stallion Redwood Lodge Essine is an exceptional Arabian with a prestigious pedigree and an illustrious show record. He is sired by GG Magnetism, a stallion of Pure Spanish lineage. GG Magnetism's sire, AN Malik, was a notable Pure Spanish stallion imported by Jay Stream from Spain to the U.S. in 1972. GG Magnetism was later acquired by Trevor and Sue Patrick of Redwood Lodge Arabians in Australia, who bred Redwood Lodge Essine, continuing their tradition of producing high-caliber Arabian horses.
The dam of Redwood Lodge Essine, Om El Amira Estopa, carries predominantly Spanish bloodlines and descends from the legendary 'Spanish queen,' Estopa. Estopa is the foundation mare of Om El Arab, a stud renowned for its influence on Arabian breeding worldwide. Om El Amira Estopa was sired by Sanadik El Shaklan, a son of the iconic stallion El Shaklan. Om El Amira Estopa herself is a distinguished broodmare, having produced champions such as World Champion Filly Abha Opalina and RL Masala Estopa, the Reserve Junior Champion Filly at the Championat d'Alsace. Both mares are full sisters by WH Justice, further solidifying the exceptional quality of this lineage.
Redwood Lodge Essine's show career highlights his refinement and quality. As a Junior horse, he earned the title of Danish National Champion Colt and was Reserve Junior Champion Colt at the All Nations Cup in 2001. He matured into a striking flea-bitten grey stallion, exemplifying the elegance and beauty sought after in Arabian horses.
In 2016, Redwood Lodge Essine returned to the All Nations Cup, where he achieved a Top Ten placement in the Senior Stallion Championships, further cementing his reputation as an outstanding representative of the breed.
Lowelas
In 1924, the two years old stallion Koheilan I was sold by Babolna stud to Janow Podlaski. At Janow, this grey stallion sired 45 foals before he was sent back to Janow in 1937. Among those foals born at Janow Podlaski was his chestnut son Lowelas.
Lowelas' dam was Elegantka, a bay daughter by Bakszysz who was a direct son by the desert bred stallion Ilderim. Ilderim was imported fromTurkey to Polish Slawuta Stud in 1900 where he founded the Polish sire line XVI.
Through Elegantka, Lowelas was a maternal half-brother to Wielki Szlem. The dam line of Elegantka traces to the grey Syrian mare Gazella, a Kuheylah Adjuze who founded one of the most influential dam line in Poland.
Lowelas was used as sire at Janow Podlaski from 1935 to 1940. Among his first foal crop was Skrzyp out of Dziewanna, a daughter by Bakszysz who also produced Piolun (sire of Priboj). Skrzyp was Lowelas best known son at Janow. He sired the mares Solianka II (successful race horse) and Sonata, dam of Salon.
Important Lowelas daughters born at Janow Podlaski were Madila, the dam of Mak by Korej and the grey Laba who was the dam of Lak by Kankan.
Like many of other Arabian stallions of that time, Lowelas was licensed for the Trakehner breed. He was sent to Trakehnen in early 1940 where he stood as chief sire until WW II hit the stud in 1944. The last stud director Dr. Ehlert described him as 'a sire par excellence' with a lot of nobility and riding horse traits. At Trakehnen, he sired the Purebred Arabian stallion Kanzler who was later sent to Germany and used at the State Stud of Marbach. Kanzler was an excellent dressage horse.
Although Lowelas sired several other Purebred Arabians at Trakehnen, his most important foals were out of Trakehner mares. To name here is the grey mare Pelargonie who also had Arabian blood through her maternal grand-sire Fetysz. She survived the WW II and founded an important Trakehner family later in West Germany.
Lowelas himself was evacuated to Graditz Stud (East Germany) in September 1944. His last foals were registered in 1945 and no trace of him was recorded after that year which might indicate that he died sometime between 1944 and 1945.
His blood is preserved in his great grand-daughter Sascha (x Smoky by Kanzler), dam of Amir El Shaklan, significant sire in Australia.
Magistrate
During a trip to India, the renowned Arabian horse buyer, Mr. W. J. Keates, came across a stunning snow-white stallion. The horse, named Magistrate, was already famous as a racing champion in India.
Standing at 14 hands high, Magistrate was a powerful and athletic horse. He had an impressive career on the track, excelling in flat races, hurdle events, and steeplechases. He competed on major Indian racecourses, including those in Calcutta, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. Out of 40 races, Magistrate claimed victory in 20, finished second 11 times, and secured third place in 3 races.
Magistrate was owned by Mr. Oscar Dignum, who later sold him to Mr. Keates. In 1895, at the age of three or four (his exact foaling date remains unrecorded), Magistrate embarked on his long journey 'Down Under' to Australia. His arrival was notable enough to be mentioned in the March issue of the Daily Telegraph, which described him as 'a phenomenally performed Arab pony stallion.'
While nothing is known about his offspring in India, it is unlikely that Magistrate was never used as a sire during his racing career. However, in Australia, he left behind only two foals. One was a riding pony named Coleby Squire, and the other was a purebred Arabian filly named Saade. Saade was out of the Straight Crabbet mare Sherifa.
Later in life, Magistrate was sold to the Hon. Samuel Winter-Cooke of Murndal, Victoria. Unfortunately, the exact date of his death remains unknown.
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.
Monther Al Nasser
Monther Al Nasser, the 2007 National Champion Colt of Qatar, was bred by Al Nasser Stud in Qatar. His pedigree combines the finest bloodlines, showcasing both Straight Egyptian and Russian influences.
His sire, Ansata Hejazi, was a renowned Straight Egyptian stallion bred by Mr. and Mrs. Donald L. Forbis of Ansata Arabian Stud in Mena, Arkansas. Known for his refinement and nobility, Ansata Hejazi became a cornerstone sire at Ajmal Arabian Stud in Kuwait after being imported in 1999. Among his show ring achievements, he was named Reserve Supreme Champion Stallion at the Egyptian Event. Ansata Hejazi passed away in October 2015.
Monther Al Nasser’s dam, Aliah Al Nasser, adds further depth to his lineage. Although Egyptian-sired, her dam-line traces back to the Russian-bred mare Pravadance, a daughter of Menes and granddaughter of Muscat. Pravadance's dam, Pravda, descended from the celebrated Taktika family.
Aliah Al Nasser’s sire, Imperial Mahzeer, was bred by Imperial Egyptian Stud in the U.S. and later exported to Al Nasser Stud, Qatar. There, he sired notable mares like Bint Saida Al Nasser, the 2002 World Reserve Champion Mare, and Johara Al Shaqab, celebrated for her elegance and exceptional Arabian type. Monther Al Nasser’s pedigree truly embodies a blend of beauty and excellence.
After shown at the U.S. Egyptian Event in 2013 where Monther Al Nasser was named Gold Senior Champion Stallion - unanimously - he was acquired by Danubius Arabians in Romania.
Mexx
Mexx, a grey stallion born in 2004, has garnered attention for his halter show performance in 2007/2008. Bred by Frank Spoenle, Mexx is was awarded with the golden ribbon at the stallion licensing in Aachen in 2007. In 2008 his success continued: One year later, Mexx was named Senior Champion at Egyptian Europe Cup, Reserve Champion Stallion at the Arabica C-show and Silver Senior Champion Stallion at the Berlin Cup.
Mexx is a son by Al Lahab, Senior Reserve World Champion Stallion Paris 2009 and Senior Male Silver Champion at the All Nation's Cup five years later. Al Lahab's sire, Laheeb descended from Imperial Imdal and AK Latifa, both Straight Egyptians. Laheeb's sire, Imperial Imdal traced back to Ansata Imperial and Dalia, while his dam, AK Latifa was the offspring of Ibn Moniet El Nefous and Siralima. Al Lahab's dam, The Vision HG, born in 1994, was a black Arabian mare sired by Thee Desperado and out of Belle Staar.
Mexx's dam, the grey Arabest Mireekha (born 1999), adds further Straight Egyptian bloodlines to his pedigree. She was sired by Ibn El Mareekh whose lineage includes El Mareekh and the beautiful bay Bint Deenaa. El Mareekh's ancestry traces back to Aseel and Rawayeh, while Bint Deenaa descends from Ansata Ibn Halima and Deenaa by Sameh. Arabest Mireekha great-granddam was Ahroufa, a Babson bred mare from the family of Maahroufa,
Before Mexx was sold to Saudi-Arabia in 2014, he was used as sire in Germany. While his beautiful son - silver ribbon German licensed - Mahfouz Al Dzabal (out of Marisi Al Dzabal) was halter shown in Prague and at the Asil Cup in 2014, his daughter AE Egyptian Muyah successfully passed her mare licensing test in Endurance.
