A new mare
A new mare has joined my preservation herd of old American Arabian bloodlines. In what is by now a long-standing Edouard practice, she is 23 years old..
She is a Kuhaylat al-Krush tracing back to *Werdi. Her name is Nuri Al Krush. She was bred by Trish Stockhecke of Ontario, Canada, from the Krush stallion Janub Al Krush out of the Krush mare Mystalla. She carries some of the very last lines to the desert-bred imports *Haleb and *Azra in Al Khamsa. She has produced two outstanding colts before, one for Trish, gelded, and another for Kim Davis in Illinois. This latter one, dead in a freak accident, was the colt of the century in my opinion (photo below). I also owned her two half-sisters, and still own a daughter from one of these sisters, Mayassa. She will be bred to my Jamr al-Arab, to line-breed to Hanad (Tripoli, Sanad, Mainad, Ibn Hanad, Ameer Ali), but also he will complete her physically, with his short back, stronger coupling, and long hip. I am grateful to Laura Fitz for letting me have her.
Fantastic news! Will we be getting pictures of her soon? 🙂
Congratulations, Edouard! May she have foal as spectacular as her last.
Did Kim Davis take that picture? She is very good with a camera.
She did.
Congratulations! May she produce a beautiful foal for you!
Thank you!
Although breeding the older mares is challenging-the rewards of successfully producing a rare and valuable foal from the older mares-out weighs all the unsuccessful attempts….the adage that nothing truely worth having is very easy to get..blessings on your attempts and your eventual success’s !!!
