Daalimaar Al Sharif, 2015 Dahman Shahwan in the USA and his siblings
I saw this horse, Daalimaar Al Sharif last year at the Al Khamsa Convention in Fayyetteville, Arkansas, and liked him instantly. He has style, presence and power. I just looked at his pedigree, and was pleasantly surprised at how diverse it was, the Julian/Gulastra, the Hallanny Mistanny, the Sirecho, and a drop of Ibn Halima (just enough) on top of the Serasabba tail female. In general, I am impressed at how Babson and Babson-related breeders in the US have been working with their horses, and how the younger generation of these horses is turning up.
one of his young brothers, promising:
another brother, WC Sir Habbas Azeer, also out of this mare, well built and equally stylish:
and yet another sibling. That mare needs to produce some fillies too!
Oh, that’s a nice producing family!
Nicole Godski’s Babson-plus breeding program is really doing good stuff. I was super thrilled to see that she was showing her horses in sport horse performance competitions, rather than just the run-of-the-mill Arabian shows. This is exactly the sort of thing these horses need for wider exposure to attract more people to the breed and toward preservation breeding for the future — people have to know they exist before they can even think about breeding them!
Ellen May had a gelding down there last year that I thought had a similar look and balance to Daalimaar – Dahman Al Lothar. Luckily, Dahman Al Lothar had a breeding career before he was gelded.
I second what Edouard, Kate & Moira said! 😉
Excellent horses and excellent program.
