Isn't it strange [funny, weird, fortuitous, fascinating and all other descriptions] how certain events lead us into paths and decisions that we are not aware of at the time.
By a chance happening on an ad of a chestnut stallion [not my most favorite color] being offered at stud, I talked Shirley Carlson of Shir-Rich Arabians into going to look at him.
SAMEH - EAO
The next addition turned out to be Amir Ibn Sakr who was sired by *Sakr who was sired by *Sultann who was sired by Sameh.
Notable to mention that he was out of a daughter of *Magidaa - the champion Shafeekah.
Now I became fascinated with the Abayyan strain and began searching for a mare to breed to Amir Ibn Sakr.
After 2 years of searching and following many of the Abayyan mares to their owners and writing so many letters I finally got an offer of a mare for sale.
And would you believe - Maalayka was sired by *Sakr who was sired by Sultann who was sired by Sameh.
I have to believe that there is more than just coincidence involved here. I ain't dumb! So I think that this is the foundation for my breeding program.
SAMEH - producer of Champions - performance and otherwise --- *Magidaa, my AUJ strain, again, producer of Champions -- Nope! I wasn't born yesterday.
This year I add to my collection of Abayyans, a chestnut colt, Sakr T, who was sired by WHF Ahtetam and out of a daughter of Amir Ibn Sakr and Maalayka. Three sire lines to *Sakr to Sultann to Sameh. Now all I need are some Hanan ladies for him.
WHF Ahtetam is a chestnut who was sired by Nabiel, who was sired by *Sakr, who was sired by *Sultann, who was sired by Sameh.
She decided to breed to him then she found out that he wasn't registered.
There appear to be a little over 300 breeding mares in the world
Also joining Sakr T is Amiira Joliinaah, out of Maalayka and sired by Asaalah Jodiih.
Follow these bloodlines ----------- Asaalah Jodiih is sired by Amir Ibn Sakr ---------- Sakr T's dam, Maarlayna is sired by Amir Ibn Sakr and out of Maalayka [both sired by *Sakr]
Jodiih's dam, Shateefaa has two more lines to Amir Ibn Sakr and one line to Sugaa, [again *Sakr] on her dam's side and she is sired by *Waheeb = another line to Sameh
And joining this Abayyan herd is the bay mare TS TIFLA - sired by Harakka [tracking to *Morafic and Bint Deenaa to Sameh] and out of Ramses Elite of the Hanan line Abayyan strain
