The best thing that happened to Ibn Moniet El Nefous when he got to Bentwood Farms was to meet Mrs. Sara Stroube White who was later to become her best friend. She 22 would be his personal groomer since the stallion arrived, she would ride him every day, would then take care of him and take him back to the stables, and it was always Sara who would introduce him to Bentwood’s sightseers. There was a great connection between Sara and Ibn Moniet El Nefous. The latter would respect David Gardner, Stan White and the other trainers, but he just loved Sara. He was very fond of her and whether Ibn Moniet El Nefous had been running freely with Sara, and someone had tried to hurt her, he probably would have attacked that person. He was a stallion wholly understood and appreciated by all Bentwood’s people and members of the syndicate . On his twentieth birthday, they had a weekend party for him called ‘The Bentwood Spectacular 1984’. More than 1,000 people gathered on the farm to see Bentwood’s horses, the Glenn Campbell’s show, the Dixie jazz band and a parade of all Ibn Moniet AHM | 258

La cosa migliore capitata a Ibn Moniet El Nefous quando arrivò a Bentwood Farms, fu Mrs. Sara Stroube White che diventò la sua migliore amica. Lei fu la sua groomer personale da quando lo stallone arrivò, lo cavalcava ogni giorno, dopo lo curava e lo portava nella scuderia ed era sempre lei che lo presentava ai visitatori di Bentwood. Tra Sara e Ibn Moniet El Nefous c’era un grande feeling, lui rispettava David Gardner, Stan White e gli altri trainer, ma amava lei. Era molto attaccato a lei e nel caso Ibn Moniet El Nefous fosse stato a correre in libertà con Sara e qualcuno avesse provato a farle del male, probabilmente lui avrebbe attaccato questa persona. Era uno stallone totalmente compreso e apprezzato da tutte le persone di Bentwood e dai membri del Sindacato. Al compimento del suo ventesimo compleanno gli fecero una festa con un weekend party intitolato “The Bentwood Spectacular 1984”. Più di 1.000 persone si radunarono nell’azienda a vedere i cavalli di Bentwood,
