Kinza bred to Bashir today for a 2024 foal
This morning Lyman Doyle bred Kinza to Jenny Krieg’s magnificent Bashir Al-Dirri for a 2024 foal. They are from two different branches of the Basilisk female line: Bashir traces to the Peraga branch (*Mirage x Slipper), of which he is the last asil representative, while Kinza traces to the better represented Rabanna (Rasik x Banna) branch. Both stallion and mare blend Crabbet (i.e., Doyle), Babson (i.e., old Egyptian) and Pritzlaff (i.e., new Egyptian lines) seamlessly, so they should be a good match.
Of course, Basilisk is from Ibn Dirri’s branch of the Saqlawi Marighi strain, as I have shown in the new book “The Arabian Horses of Abbas Pasha”.
Below, a recent natural shot of Bashir, from Lyman. He truly is a magnificent horse.
Bashir has one of the best hips I have seen on current stallions.
I great look forward to the results of this breeding.
Fantastic! I am so looking forward to this foal!
Fingers and toes crossed! Bashir definitely needs more foals on the ground.
Thanks, Moira! He’s currently being collected for frozen semen, so I hope your wish will come true.
Oh, how exciting, Jenny! I don’t imagine it will be available internationally, though, will it?
Fingers crossed, Edouard, for a successful breeding and a healthy foal next year!
I’m sorry, Kate. It would have been great, but I simply couldn’t afford that option. We both need to win the lottery!
It really is so expensive to freeze for international use. Winning the lottery would be nice!
GOOD. I’m so glad to hear that Jenny. 🙂
That’s really good news, Jenny!
Edouard, what are your thoughts on the database by the Asil Arabians Breeders Alliance? I couldn’t find anything on your blog about it but would be interested to know your thoughts.
I’m trying to find out what exists today to help easily ascertain which horses are asil and which not. I’ve read around this topic a fair bit but would be good to have some guidance on how a relative ‘amateur’ can navigate this when considering obtaining horses.
Hi Hamza, it’s an important and worthwhile efforts, to which some friends of mine are contributing. I definitely support theThir endeavor. It’s not the only effort ongoing however.
About this topic
Does anyone know if there is a list of stallions whose frozen semen is shipped internationally?
I don’t think there is one, but this is a good idea
I think Kinza is in foal
For my own notes: Kinza confirmed in foal to Bashir Al-Dirri. Last breeding August 8, 2023.
That is wonderful news!
Oh, great! When I was visiting with Terry earlier this month he thought she didn’t take, so it’s great to hear that that wasn’t the case! 😀
