Al Aneed LDA
The dark bay Straight Egyptian stallion Al Aneed LDA, foaled in 2007 and bred by LD Arabians in the United States, presents an immediate and unmistakable expression of classical Straight Egyptian type. His finely sculpted head, with its dry features, large expressive eye, and refined muzzle, is set upon a long, elegantly arched neck carried with natural elevation and presence.
Al Aneed LDA was sired by Alixir, a Straight Egyptian stallion of refined type, by The Elixir (1992–2017) and out of a daughter of The Minstril, thus uniting two of the most influential modern Egyptian sire lines. The paternal line traces further through Sameh to the desert-bred Gamil El Kebir, anchoring the pedigree firmly in classical Egyptian foundation stock. Bred at the Royal Inshass Stud of King Farouk, Sameh became a cornerstone sire for the Egyptian Agricultural Organization, renowned for transmitting balance, athleticism, and a distinctive, powerful hindquarter that remains evident in his descendants.
Bred by James and Judy Sirbasku at Arabians Ltd. in Texas, Alixir stood in the United States until 2017, when he was exported to Spain.
On the dam side of Alixir, the influence of The Minstril (1984-2010) is of particular significance. Foaled in 1984 by Ruminaja Ali out of Bahila, The Minstril emerged as a defining sire of late twentieth-century Straight Egyptian breeding. Celebrated as Egyptian Event Supreme Champion Stallion and Leading Sire, he was instrumental in the renaissance of classical Egyptian type, transmitting refinement, elegance, and consistency to an exceptional number of progeny. His legacy, perpetuated through sons such as Thee Desperado or dauhters such as Belle Staar (the dam of beautiful black mare The Vision HG), continues to shape contemporary pedigrees.
The dam of Al Aneed LDA, Illa Magidaa LDA, represents a distinguished Obayan (El Obeya) strain tracing through Om Grees to the historic Abbas Pasha breeding program of Egypt. This tail-female line, preserved over generations, is noted for its consistency, refinement, and classical Arabian type. Al Aneed LDA’s dam line is anchored in the celebrated mare Magidaa, one of the most influential foundation mares of modern Straight Egyptian breeding. Imported from Egypt in 1967 by Douglas B. Marshall of Gleannloch Farms, Magidaa quickly established herself as an exceptional producer, ultimately becoming recognized as the leading dam of National Champions among Egyptian Arabians. Her legacy is perpetuated through descendants such as Bint Magidaa, dam of the legendary Ruminaja Ali, thereby cementing the family’s enduring impact on the breed.
Central to this maternal dynasty is Shaikh Al Badi, sire of Ruminaja Ali and one of the most prepotent sons of Morafic. A U.S. National Reserve Champion Futurity Stallion and a sire of numerous champions, Shaikh Al Badi combined athletic excellence with remarkable breeding potency.
Illa Magidaa LDA was a daughter by Thee Desperado. So, The Minstril appears on both the sire and dam sides of Al Aneed LDA’s pedigree, creating a deliberate line-breeding to this pivotal stallion.
Following his early development in the United States, Al Aneed LDA was exported to Switzerland, where he became part of the distinguished program of Nayla Hayek’s Hanaya Arabians, in Switzerland.Under this ownership, he was successfully presented in international competition, earning notable results in senior stallion classes, including Bronze Senior Champion Stallion at the Elran Cup in 2014. Subsequently, he was leased to Fontanella Arabians in Italy, where he continued his career within another highly respected European program. During his time in Italy, he sired notable offspring including Magic Eternity (out of Magic Marina), who was named Czech National Gold Champion Colt in 2020 under the ownership of Milada Machácková.
Al Aneed LDA represents a thoughtfully constructed example of Straight Egyptian breeding, combining established sire lines with a historically significant dam family. His pedigree reflects a deliberate concentration of proven bloodlines, including the reinforcing presence of The Minstril on both sides, while maintaining strong connections to classical Egyptian foundation stock.
