"HOW MUCH OF THE ABAYYAN STRAIN DOES AN ABAYYAN MARE OR STALLION REALLY CARRY?
"CAN WE AND SHOULD WE BE BREEDING THE ABAYYAN STRAIN BACK INTO ITSELF?
"I AM HOPING TO GET THE A.U.J. MARE OWNERS FIRED UP AND INTERESTED IN COMING TOGETHER TO PRESERVE AND EXTEND THIS UNIQUE AND FAIRLY RATE STRAIN OF ARABIANS. AS OF '99 THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 180 MARES AND 103 STALLIONS AND 33 GELDINGS -- WITH ONLY 19 NEW REGISTRATIONS IN 1999.
"THE ABAYYAN BLENDS WELL WITH OTHER STRAINS TO PRODUCE NUMEROUS CHAMPIONS
"BREEDING THE ARABIAN IS TRULY AN ART AND SHOULD NOT BE DONE WITHOUT A GOAL IN MIND. STRAIN BREEDING COULD BE A BIT DIFFERENT. WHILE A STRAIN IS PASSED ON BY THE TAIL FEMALE LINE , I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH USING A KUHAYLAN OR A SAQLAWI [OR OTHER] STRAIN STALLION WITH TWO OR MORE LINES TO THE ABAYYAN STRAIN. BLENDING AND MIXING WITHIN A FAMILY SEEMS TO BE THE ARABIANS' FORTE.
*MAGIDAA WAS THE PRIMARY ROOT FOR THE ABAYYAN STRAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. SHE WAS FOALED IN 1964 IN EGYPT AND WAS SIRED BY THE NAZEER SON, ALAA EL DIN AND OUT OF MAYSA, WHO WAS BY ANTER AND OUT OF MAHFOUZA -- TRULY A LINE OF CHAMPIONS"
