There are a handful breeding programs in the USA that I follow closely, like Carrie Slayton’s in California, and Bev Davison’s in Idaho. They have the same bloodlines as I do, more or less, and we collaborate. Bev now has a few high-percentage Abbas Pasha Saqlawi horses for sale or lease, mostly males and some females. The grey five year colt, SpiritWind AhsahmMoon, is one that caught my eye. The senior stallion Subanet Jabbar SDA is also for sale. He is the sire of my Kinza. He has a nice chestnut 3 year old colt below, SpiritWind Jabani. Jabani is not for sale.
The late Danah Al Khalifa sure knew how to pick stallions for her Sitah-linebred mares. Georgous Rabdaan Muttaawi (Musannaan Al Meemar x Rabda Shaawieh by Burkaan D3) is just one example. He is the sire of the two full sisters Danika and Dhahabiah, bred by Danah. Dhahabiah is the one that died last week, sadly.

Bint Mayadah is doing very well for her new/old owner Steffi Weirich, who took the pictures in her pasture. I am very happy that Steffi took her on.
Badia Al Arab (Monologue CF x Barakah Al Arab by Wadd Al Arab), now a yearling, is slowly growing into an excellent filly. Thrilled about her, and sad about her half sister out of Wadha, which I lost a day after birth to an infection
