Photo of the day: Shariff Bagdady, 2010, asil colt from Hungary
This young fellow is the latest member of one of my favorite asil Arabian lines from around the world, that of 25 Amurath Sahib, from Hungary. He is by Laszlo Kiraly’s stallion, Dahhmany Bagdady (Wahhabit x Tisrina B) out of Laszlo’s Sarife B (El Thay Mameluk x 205 Farag II).
I love this boy, and we are so proud to have some of the Davenport bloodlines represented in him!
Wonderful colt!! But given his breeding how could he be anything else? So he’s got Sig Bag6 on top combined with Davenport/Craver Kohaylan, and New Eygyptian on the bottom. Interesting to see Alaa El Din doubled up.. Also he’s tail female to Rodania.. How did the Blunt Rodania line mares end up in Eygypt? I thought the Eygyptians only kept a few Stallions from their crabbet purchase in the early days of the RAS..

I may be wrong but i think he is tf El Dahma. Lady Wentworth sold Bint Riyala and Bint Risala to Egypt along with the batch of stallions.
The Bint Riyala and Bint Risala lines in Egypt are very important. Notable are *Rashad Ibn Nazeer, Ameer AlBadeia, *Asadd, Samim, Alaa El Din, Kaisoon, Farag…. just to name a couple of stallions!
Edouard: Please excuse my blunder,,, Got Alaa El Din mixed up with Laszlo’s excellent colt.. The old synapses skipped ahead a bit.So Jeanne and Edouard, the Eygyptians also bought Bint Riyala and Bint Risala when they got the stallions from Lady Wentworth and kept the mares and put them into production? And then those mares founded,(so to speak) lines of their own?
Also: With the Blunt lines plus, the Sig Bag6 to old Babolna Asils,plus the Davenport, plus the New Eygyptian, Laszlos colt would be considered a blended outcross? Kind of like Bold Ruler was in american Thoroughbreds? Laszlo you have done a very good job!

Handsome colt with great breeding. Congratulations Laszlo.
As for Rodania, perhaps the most famous tail female Rodania straight Egyptian in modern times was Hansi Heck-Melnyk’s imported mare Serenity Sonbolah (Sameh x Bint Om El Saad), the 1971 US National Champion Mare. Hansi also imported four other tail female Rodania horses from Egypt: Serenity Luftia (Nasralla x Nazeera), SF Bint Mamlouka (Mashhour x Mamlouka), Serenity Sagda (Anter x Samia) and Serenity Bint Noha (Nader x Noha) and theses lines have been associated with performance champions (some race winners, too). Gleannloch also imported tail female Rodania straight Egyptian horses which had great success in performance. Gleannloch’s lovely performance winning Dalia (Morafic x Romanaa II) who produced US Reserve National Champion Imperial Imdal. Tail female Rodania Egyptian horses have quite a record of producing quality performance horses.
Thank you Jeanne,Bruce, Edouard and Joe!
This colt , our new family-member , Shariff is my (our) proud. His sireline is the old Babolna-import, Siglavy Bagdady, and on the Dam-side He is the the line of 60 Adjuze OA. 1876.
Yes, Shariff has many Rodania- blood in his veins through the maternal grandsire , El Thay Mameluk ( K.R.) who is now chief sire in a stud in the Sultanat Oman) , and through Farag too. I planned this colt since more than ten years, with consecvent breeding.Shariff Bagdady has 25 percent old Babolna blood, 12.5 % Davenport (thank you Jeanne and Charles Craver) and 62.5 % egyptian blood (Salaa El Dine ,etc…)We had many foals in the last two decades, but..
He is a character , kind and fiery at next moment. It’s good to see, how moves.He is very fast.
Shariff is a gift of life for us- I think.
I hope, he will be a sire – horse in a few years.
Best wishes ,
László
Congratulations Laszlo! He is gorgeous. I love his ears and his white “sideways” diamond and also your description of his personality: kind and fiery.
All my best to you and your wonderful horses.
Elena
Thank You Elena.
How is your Shuwayman Sabbah colt? He has an interessant pedigree too!
László
What a super colt. Congratulations! I would love to see more pictures of him as he matures…
Dear Laszlo,
Congratulations on your beautiful colt, an important individual who can help push these rare lines forward.
With best wishes,
Tzviah
Thank You Jenny and Tzviah,
I will send some pictures of our Shariff in the future if it will be possible.
I hope this colt will be a sire horse in three or four years. It is a big temptation making fantasy pedigrees of Shariff’s descendants, but I have to carefully, because he is only 3 weeks old now.
Best wishes from Hungary,
László
