The BEST of the BEST! A classic black daughter of USA National Reserve Champion Halter stallion, Thee Desperado; and out of our lovely foundation mare sired by Moniet El Sharaf! Passing on the rare Bint Riyala tail female line!

Enjoyed by all who meet her; and remarkably intelligent, with super quick response to soft leg cues & touch, enabling her to be ridden bridle-less. A mare Hollywood would love, a true sight to see and a pleasure to watch!
A phenomenal broodmare of five classic quality foals and is now retired from breeding. Three being black, though we do not breed for color...quality comes first! Several of her foals have went on to accomplished show wins for their new owners around the USA; and her first son, Aramuss, sired by The Mohave, was titled 2004 Egyptian Event World Class Colts 1 Year Old - UNANIMOUS CHAMPION shown by Michael Byatt; and continues to win under saddle in Western Pleasure and Trail!

All great breeders know that a mare typically does not produce their best foal the first time, but WHEN it does happen, it’s a remarkable day to remember, and means that more great foals are to come if given the chance! She has proven beauty can be combined with athletic abilities. |
