Bashir al-Dirri, 2015 Saqlawi Jadran stallion
Lyman Doyle took this photo of Jenny Krieg’s young stallion Bashir al-Dirri (Tamaam DE x Sarita Bint Raj), a 2015 Saqlawi Jadran stallion tracing to Basilisk. He carries some of the very last lines in Al Khamsa to the stallions *Mirage, *Euphrates, and *Al-Mashoor. Photo by Lyman Doyle.
This stallion has superlative action and near perfect conformation. Jenny, Lyman and I had agreed to breed SS Lady Guenevere to him, but it was his first time breeding a mare, and could not get the job done. There will be other occasions, I am sure. Meanwhile, if you are interested in breeding to him, you can reach out to Jenny Krieg.
He’s a very handsome young horse! Are there any videos of him showing his movement?
yes on facebook on the dole arabians page
Thank you, headed over there, and just splurged on videos. He does have a nice trot!
Since I have been deep in the lines tracing back to *Mirage tonight, I’m revisiting this post. In addition to having a new-found appreciation for how special Sarita and Bashir are, I do need to point out an error in this post, as he was foaled in 2014, not 2015. ^_^
I need to breed him to Pippa for the next foal. He is such a good horse.
I think that is an excellent idea! He’s probably old enough that he could do shipped semen for other mares, as well, if there was enough of a demand. Has he been able to successfully cover any other mares this spring?
Thank you, all! I am very proud of Bashir!
I don’t know if the Doyles have planned any breedings with him this year. He had been continuing his training — being introduced to ground driving.
Lyman sent me some videos last year of Bashir in trot, canter, and gallop. Impressive.
Oh, and I think he will finally be included in the Al Khamsa online roster with the next update.
Oh my goodness look at that female line. Mirage, and even Naomi hidden in there. Very nice
