Photo of the day: Farag II-3, in Germany

Posted on September 8th, 2009 in Hungary
To celebrate the inclusion of the Babolna asil horses in the Al-Khamsa Roster, here is a photo of a stallion from these bloodlines, owned by Stephanie Weirich of Germany. This is the chestnut stallion Farag II-3 (by Farag II x 204 Ghalioun, by Ghalioun x 3-Siglavy Bagdady VI). He is also a tail female descendant of 25-Amurath Sahib, and is actually 50% Babolna (non-Egyptian) blood. 
His strain is Kuhaylan al-’Ajuz. Photo courtesy of Tzviah Idan.

Small correction by Stephanie. The correct name of the stallion is 212 Farag II-3, not 32.
Best wishes,

Tzviah,
where comes the number:212 from? Steffi’s beloved stallion, Farag’s official name is “simply” Farag II-3″ – I think.
Best wishes,

Dear Tzviah and László,
too many numbers before and behind each name
The correct name of my stallion is FARAG II-3.
Best wishes

Hi Stephanie, Welcome here. I love your horse. What other horses do you have from these same Amurath Sahib bloodlines?

Hello Edouard,
thanks for your welcome. First I have to say, that this is a very interesting site. I do not become tired, to look at it again and again and again
In January I found Farag´s sister Farag II-1 at a horsedealer in very bad condition. I bought her immediately and in the meantime she became a nice little princess and the boss of the herd although she is only 148 cm
She is from Farag II out of 238 Rajan, so she is a 75% sister to Farag II-3.
Since spring I try to get her in foal from Farag II-3, because of the concentration of the Amurath-line, but because of her bad status in the beginning of this year (and maybe long time before) it does not work till now
You can find more pictures and the pedigree on my website http://www.tierportraits.beep.de (klick on “Farag-Arabians” please).
Kind regards
Stephanie

Wow, Stephanie, I just went to your site, and your horses are beautiful!
Best wishes for success with them, and with preserving the lines of Farag II-3 and Farag II-1!

Dear Ms. Stephanie,
I was given a postcard of Farag II – 6.
I must admit my ignorance which is probably laughable, but I have never seen such amazing coloring for any horse before! When I was a kid I thought all horses had black hair (mane and tail) until I saw my first Palomino horse, and thought: “A Blonde Horse!”. I didn’t know there could be horses with what looks to be the equivalent of “strawberry blonde” coloring of mane and tail!
Farag II – 6 is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Is he (or she) one of your horses?
Again, PLEASE forgive my ignorance, I’m just an old city gal!
