This black mare, of the Ma’naqi Sbayli strain tracing to Haidee, is the maternal grandmother of my SS Shadows Aana. Her formidable build, her high withers and her very deep girth, are some of the reasons I like this line so much. Mares like her can be the cornerstone of an entire breeding program.
She is looking glorious at age 21. How time flies. She was a young mare when I saw her at Carol Lyons in 2002. Her origin is so well authenticated, and so is her filly’s by the Doyle stallion Chatham. It does not get more mazbut than that. Photo by Lyman Doyle.
