Introducing Shaman Al Arab, 2020 Ma’naqi Sbayli colt
Lyman Doyle sent these photos of this year’s last arrival, another colt and another Ma’naqi Sbayli: Shaman Al Arab (Tamaam DE x SS Lady Guenevere by SS Dark Prince) was born two days ago. I am leasing his dam from DeWayne Brown.
Shaman, pronounced SHAAH-MAAN, means “the one with a distinctive mark”, shamah. His odd blaze is certainly one. He also takes his name from a handsome Shammar desert-bred stallion in Syria, which I have been coveting for a while. He is the maternal uncle of the young Shaykh Al Arab. I will retain one of the two, not sure which one yet.
Oh, I do love a good white spotting. In the family, Nazarina DE LHF also had a partial penetration of the white facial marking, similar to this. Her dam, Larkin DE, is the great granddam of Tammam DE and the great great grandam of little Shaman here.
Congratulations!
Another strong looking colt. Congratulations, Edouard.
Congratulations! It looks like he has an offset exclamation mark on his face – Shaman is certainly an appropriate name!
Edouard: Good for you man. The world needs more Muniqi line horses!

He is a fine looking colt! Congratulations. Going to be tough to choose. Delay the choice as long as you are able.
