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.
