1 National and International Championships by Yassmin Atieh photos by Erwin Escher El Zahraa 15 th National Show Cairo, Egypt November 13-14, 2008 Since 1898, the historic El Zahraa Stud has existed on the land of Kafr Farouk. In November, we enjoyed the essence of the magnificent Egyptian fall, which feels like spring, with a warming Egyptian sun. Entering the El Zahraa Stud, with its ancient trees that hug the paddocks, I was so excited waiting for the 15th National show followed by the 11th International Egyptian Championships. Although we had heard lots of rumors before this day, such as, There will be no show this year, only a national show, The show will be in the stadium, different date, the show was held on time and in the proper place. Egyptian breeders and all Arabian enthusiasts had been waiting for the show for a year, because this show is different. More than 350 horses were listed in the catalog this year for the National and International shows. 188 b ARABIAN HORSE WORLD b FEBRUARY 2009

As for the International show, there were only two countries represented, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, but the horses competing were bred in 14 different countries: Belgium; Brazil; Egypt; Germany; the Netherlands; Italy; Ireland; Jordan; Kuwait; Poland; Qatar; Saudi Arabia; United Arab Emirates; and the United States. We were delighted to see so many of these great horses in one place. I m sure the judges job was hard, but they did it extremely well the points were so close, acceptable, and fair. Greeting breeders and friends was so nice as we started asking about the horses, photographers took their positions, owners waited to see their fillies, and organizers were running everywhere trying to make their best effort. The organization of this show was much improved by the new EAO team. The new chairman of the EAO is Mr. Ahmed Hamza, owner of Hamdan A. Stud; Professor Dr. Mohamed Hashim El Deeb is the managing director of the EAO and the organizers were Dr. Nasr Marei, chairman of the organizing committee and the well- 189 b ARABIAN HORSE WORLD b FEBRUARY 2009

When the fillies started to enter the arena, they were well prepared. Every now and then an extra cheer arose from a certain place in the stands, and we would turn to see the proud owners of a filly, wishing, hoping, angry, or happy. The horses made a good effort to move, but the arena was too small, and so slippery in the morning, just the reverse of what we saw in the national show that was held at the stadium last time. After class 3 finished, we had the lunch break, and then came back to hear the oriental music with the dancing horses as we waited for the EAO mares presentation. Here were such classic broodmares, with lots of history, all together in the same arena. We were able to see the different generations of these mares, the dams with their fillies and colts, and we learned a great deal about the Zahraa breeding program. First came the queen of the EAO, the lovely Tee (Adl x Bint Ibtisam) followed by her daughter Arouset Al Zahraa by Aaloub, then Azmeralda and her colt Zomorrod by Tagweed.

Two of the late Rshadan s daughters followed, Raghdanah out of Zoak and Sobheyah out of Sawab, then Awsaf (Serag El Din x Aleyat). Last came Ragdaa by the late Gad Allah out of Ramiah. The next day, the colts class started with a surprise in class 1A colts. Everyone was expecting Moez Al Kaherah (Mirajh RCA x Moonira) to win a very exotic colt that won last year, but instead the winner was Sohayl Al Kaherah (Ahmus x Muzdalifah). Both were bred and are owned by the same person, Mr. Ahmed Amer, who said, Well, I did expect Moez to win, but he is still young and he did not move like he usually does, but Sohayl moved so well as if he was waiting to show himself. After the colts came the EAO stallions presentation. It was beautiful, but chaotic, with little control in the arena. One stallion almost got loose, and another one was kicked. The organizer entered the arena trying to fix it, but it was a bit late; they were difficult to handle. The first one who entered just came to break our hearts, Rawah (Rashdan x Ramiah), a very nice stallion, 191 b ARABIAN HORSE WORLD b FEBRUARY 2009

Then his son Wassaf out of Wagfa entered, followed by a very promising Rawah son, Soyouf out of Safeerah. Next came one of the top stallions, Baydoun by the late Gad Allah out of Bint Ibtisam, followed by his half brother Tagweed, a wonderful stallion out of the queen Tee, Gady by Gondoul, and Zakyia, then one of the head sires, Serag El Dine (Mourad x Safinaz). Although he is 16 years old he still looks young. Last but not least came the classic bay stallion, Defaf by Ouf out of Sarhana. The stallion presentation was followed by the stallion class. Seeing Farouk Sakr (Shaheen x Desperados Fancy) was such a pleasure: he is a very exotic, well-balanced stallion, and he just has a special charisma. Everyone knew he must be a winner of titles. In the last class of this day we were really amazed to see Kenz Noor as a mature stallion, because the last time he was shown in Egypt was years ago. He looked so elegant. After him came the well-prepared Khaled Sakr, a stallion that was last seen in the showrings in He came second in the class after Kenz Noor and third was Halim.

Second Place Yearling Fillies (1B) Shahrazad Bebo (SQR Shaqeel x Aghoor), owned by Bebo. well represented in this class as he is the sire of the three top-placing stallions. Instead of naming it Class 12, better name it Class Madori. The final fillies were standing, showing their beauty. There were ten of them, all lovely and close in points. When the results came we heard the naming of a bronze medal; the first time for us to experience its use in Egypt. I think it was a nice idea. Kamar Omar (Gamil Sakr x Ghalia Al Rayyan) took this medal, the Reserve Champion Filly was Anbar Noor (Ibn Arabia Sakr x Hams El Koloub Noor); and the Champion Filly was Khorafa El Gabry (Ajmal Sinan x Gawharet Aal Hanafi).

7 Interviews with Breeders and Visitors at the Egyptian National and International Championships by Yassmin Atieh Mr. Ahmed Abdel Razik, Al Bawady In my opinion it was an exceptional show, with a good number of high-quality horses. In one of the filly classes the first four fillies had the same marks, even movement and type. The judges had a hard job there, as the quality was so close. The organization was good, as there were so many entries, but there were not enough stalls, and they kept some of the horses in some kind of small wooden stalls, which is not fair I guess. It was a good idea to have the movement before the stand-up, which gave the horses better chances to show; also fewer plastic bags were used. It was a bad idea to show Rawah in the parade the time was not right as he has laminitis. I competed in the show with my horses and was happy with the way they showed, but I hope we do better next time. Mrs. Hanan Serag El Dine, Ahmadeyat Al Hamd In general it was a nice show, and it was so crowded, but still, this is what gives action. There were lots of visitors from all over the world, like Germany, the United States, and Saudi Arabia. I wish to see more and more like the last show in the stadium and I wish for more countries, in addition to Saudi Arabia, to attend with their horses. Maybe the show needs more promotion. What I liked most in this show was that the movement was presented before the standing pose which really helped the horses. I also liked that rules were better stated this year. We knew how to present our horses and what to expect. Also, the mingling between the Egyptian breeders and the foreign breeders, especially after the show every day, and the open houses, helped so much for exchanging opinions and experiences. The disadvantage of this show is the grounds. The grass is a bit slippery, especially in the morning. I wish to see an arena with good footings in El Zahraa. Mrs. Inge Friedmann, Friedmann Arabians, Germany The show in Cairo was a great occurrence for us. We were very surprised about so many entries in the classes, and also by the high quality of all these horses it was really outstanding. For me, I was very proud that my homebred horses were there, and F Shamaal was Senior Champion Stallion. His daughter was Junior Champion Filly; another of his daughters was a Junior Champion Reserve Filly; and an Al Lahab colt was a junior colt, so for me this show was a great festival. Mr. Mohamed Amin, Al Amin This year s show was overseen by breeders, as the manager and the chairman are both brzeeders, and I know next year it will be even better. About the horses, I just wish the ECAHO could make a rule that the horse that won in a show, can t attend the next year, or maybe it exists already. It would give chances to others frankly speaking, seeing the same horses winning over and over every year is not very interesting. Still I have to add that the winning horses deserve it. Mrs. Mila Khamis, Bebo It was a good show, everyone knew what to show and what not to show, and where to show their horses. I liked the new organization. I entered this show with eight horses and I placed in six classes; a few of the six horses got very good points, much more than what I had expected, but still I have to always criticize myself. I was satisfied with my horses results. Egypt has a very good quality of horses and good new breeders are appearing. 194 b ARABIAN HORSE WORLD b FEBRUARY 2009

8 National and International Championships Mr. Mostafa Omar, Ikhnatoon It was a very nice show, much better quality, very nice organizing, the judging very nice, although I felt they were not so much into the straight Egyptian horses, as some of them I think, deserved more points. I did not enter my horses in this show, but several horses of my breeding were there. In my opinion Al Khalediah Farm is attending with world champions so I guess they should win their horses are so well trained, and gorgeous. Mr. Nasr Al Moshtaha, El Shurek The competition was really nice, and the organization was excellent. Dr. Nasr Marei did a lot of work, and it was so presentable with perfect judging. I think the arena would be better with extra light. I entered with several horses of my breeding and most of them placed. I m so proud of this, and to come after a world champion is a great achievement for me. Mr. Omar Sakr, Sakr Arabians, Egypt Definitely the organizers did a good job in this show, and I m sure there will be many improvements in the coming years. For me the arena was too small for the horses to have a chance to show themselves or really trot. There was too much time lost between classes. A total of 374 horses was entered in the catalog, and sometimes not even half of the entries were in front of the judges in a given class. The music could have been a little more thrilling. Definitely showing Rawah in the EAO stallion parade was a bad idea. I did not have a chance to see any of the Sakrbred horses show, but since I bred them, I know them. Many people told me that Farouk Sakr was incredible; I know his type is overwhelming. But still we will always continue to seek better quality. Mr. Sami Hasoon, Al Forsan It was not a pretentious show at all. I liked the cohesion that was so obvious between foreign and Egyptian breeders. I saw some promising horses out there showing. There was a definite improvement in the quality of the horses, and I was happy not to see any objections about the judging from the breeders who did not win. It was civilized, and I think Mr. Ahmed Hamza, the new EAO chairman, with the help of the other breeders like Dr. Nasr Marei, made the show as if it is our show, with no boundaries. Responsibility was divided in a democratic way and everyone gave their input. We are known for having good hospitality, and believe me, this was evident throughout the show. For example, I was tired out from following my friend Mila Khamees, as she was always busy helping the visitors get from the airport to the show. And I think that the great winning of Al Khalediah Farm from Saudi Arabia was so educational for us, allowing the local breeders to understand what the show is all about. After all, it is not a court, it is a show, although in my opinion some horses did not have perfect conformation. They had the show quality, though, and they are well trained. This not only should inspire us, but also prove horses are not static creatures they are dynamic (and Arabian horses are so dynamic). The only thing that I think was not so good was the time; the show was so long that some people missed parts of it. Mr. Osman Noor, Noor The show was good, and I m proud of my production through Kenz Noor, and others. I always knew he would be such a winner. 195 b ARABIAN HORSE WORLD b FEBRUARY 2009

The 11 th International Show November 15-16, 2008 Mare, as usual, was the pretty lady who deserves it always Mohga Sakr (Imperial Madori x SES Marah). And at the end were the stallions. The bronze medal went to Khaled Sakr (Imperial Madori x SES Marah); Reserve was Kenz Noor (Imperial Madori x Naksh El Koloub Noor); and the Champion Stallion was fabulous Farouk Sakr (Shaheen x Desperados Fancy). The 11th International Championships started on a very bright day with the fillies also divided into A and B classes. Fillies and mares were all amazing. Al Khalediah with some of their gorgeous horses, won five of the seven classes held that day. It was wonderful to see Victoria II HPS, Kharelle, Imperial Baalanah, and Ghayat Al Khalediah who was junior Champion Filly in the same show last year. The fillies classes showed a lot of promising fillies that one day will produce some wonderful offspring if bred right. The next day was the last showing of the international stallions. It was obvious that the new stallions in Egypt are such good movers. I remember looking at an eight-month-old colt who was moving like a stallion! The stallions took our breath away seeing them is such a thrill. The Khalediah horses won four out of six classes. Then came the judging of most classic head in the show; for stallions it was Kenz Noor (Imperial Madori x Naksh El Koloub Noor), and for mares, Imperial Baalanah (Imperial Baarez x Imperial Orrapha). 196 b ARABIAN HORSE WORLD b FEBRUARY 2009
