A Mirror For The Ages John Tone and long headed by stallion Fadjur, a foal of 1952, was especially influential in the 1960s and 1970s. The Arabian community recently lost Marjory “Marge” Tone, but Fadjur remains influential to this day, perhaps most notably through his daughter Jurneeka, dam of Khemosabi. The best-known straight Egyptian breeders and importers are probably Doug and Margaret Marshall of Gleannloch Farms in Barksdale, Texas; Barbara Griffin of Imperial Egyptian Stud in Maryland; Don and Judith Forbis’ Ansata Don Forbis. Arabians in Mena, Judith and the late Ark.; Wisconsin’s Bill and Pat Trapp of Arabest Arabians; the Willis Flicks’ Glen Glade program; Bob and Christine Fauls’ Chapel Farms; and several hundred others who share in the spoils at the annual Egyptian Event at the Kentucky Horse Park. Egyptian and Egyptian-related Arabians have garnered national titles as long as there have been national championship shows. So have Spanish and Spanish-related mares and stallions. Spain has one of the world’s oldest studbooks of record, and Spanish bloodlines are loaded with individuals whose importance to the breed cannot be overstated. The list of straight Spanish national and world champions is long, but three highly visible Spanish Arabians come to mind immediately: sires *Barich De Washoe and *AN Malik, and *Abha Hamir, Marietta Salas’ gorgeous U.S. National Champion Mare. *Barich De Washoe (Zurich x Aldebaran II, by Malvito) was imported from Spain in utero by Steen Ranches in 1965. In 1972 he went to Bruce Clark and Jerry Alexander at Bru-Mar-Ba Arabians, where 118 | AR ABIAN HORSE TIMES
his breeding career really took off. He sired 469 foals, many of whom became champions and national winners, and sires and dams of champions. *Barich De Washoe daughters became valuable capital long before their sire’s 1991 death.
*Barich De Washoe
*AN Malik (Galero x Ispahan, by Alhabac) became the pride of Jay and Dorothy Stream’s Greengate Farm in San Luis Obispo, Calif., the day he stepped off the truck in 1972. At Greengate, where he spent the rest of his life, he sired 430 offspring. One of those was 1990 Canadian National Champion Dorothy & Jay Strea m with *AN Malik. Stallion Top Contender (x Rho-Sabba, by Khemosabi), who also owned three U.S. National Top Ten Stallion titles, and had regional, Scottsdale and Buckeye halter and pleasure driving championships to his credit for his breeder, Bud Adams. Bud Adams and his wife, Louise, were well-known breeders, first in New Mexico and then in Scottsdale, where Chuck Kibler was their trainer for many years. Stallion Bask Flame (*Bask x Mudira, by *El Mudir) was their other headline sire. They bought his dam, carrying Bask Flame, in March of 1978. Janice
