Simeon Sarice

In 2002, a yearling chestnut filly made the long journey from Marion Richmond's esteemed Simeon Stud in Australia to Germany.
This young mare was Simeon Sarice, imported by Thomas Bobrzyk and Uwe Jürgen Wagner who added her to their broodmare band of their recently started breeding program.
Born in 2001, Simeon Sarice embodied the culmination of decades of careful breeding at one of Australia's most respected Arabian studs. Her importation to Germany at such a young age demonstrated the international recognition of her exceptional breeding and potential, marking the beginning of what should have been a long and influential career in European Arabian horse circles. Simeon Sarice's sire, Imperial Madaar, was himself a product of exceptional breeding, being sired by the influential Imperial Madheen and out of Ansata Nile Mist. This pedigree combined the Imperial Stud's consistent quality with the prestigious Ansata bloodlines, creating a stallion known for his ability to transmit both type and temperament to his offspring.
Equally impressive was Simeon Sarice's dam line through Simeon Sayver, who was sired by Ansata Bay Shahh and out of Simeon Sukari.
In 2003, Simeon Sarice was shown in halter competition, placing third in her class at the Egyptian Event Europe.
As a broodmare, she produced a total of seven foals—two colts and five fillies. Her first two offspring were fillies by World Champion Stallion Al Lahab and Nabeel, respectively. In 2007, she foaled her most notable daughter, Pyramid Sadiyya, sired by Authentic Dahman. This line continued to make its mark through Pyramid Sadiyya’s daughter, Insha Shuala (by Nayiel Al Khaled) who has produced four foals so far (in 2025).
Following Pyramid Sadiyya, Simeon Sarice produced three full siblings by Shagran Al Nasser: Insha Shala, Exotic Sadiiq, and Insha Shaygan. Her final foal, born in 2015, was Insha Safrahna, a daughter of Miad Al Shaqab, who was later exported to Italy in October 2020. There she serves as broodmare at Al Murad Arabians continuing the legacy of Simeon Sarice.
Tragically, Simeon Sarice passed away in 2016 at just fifteen years of age—far too early to fulfill her full potential in the show ring and as a broodmare. Despite her brief breeding career, those who recognized her quality and promise remember her as a poignant example of the lasting impact a mare can have, even within a limited timeframe.
