Above: Leilet el Eid (OG) — “If you have seen the romantic picture of a little grey filly smelling the flowers of our garden in the November cover story, then you will like to see her progress and growth in the past five months. This is a Ghallab daughter, an OG, and we believe that she will do very well with a wide variety of stallions.” Left: Oukht el Kamar (DS) — “‘The Sister of the Moon’ is the first filly of our DS Bukra mare Cinderella SEA. Sired by the Kohailanin-type Goubrane, our bay Sajed son of the Akhtal sire line (himself a black), we were hoping for black but are thankful for this iron grey who, we suspect, is likely to turn flea-bitten, a typical Bukra characteristic.” Facing page: “Kawkab el Shark (SG) is a Gabbar daughter and out of Aneeda EAO, double Akhtal, and perhaps our most feminine mare at the present time. We breed her to stallions of the Anter sire line, away from her Moniet tail female line. Kawkab el Shark is our single most true Saklaweya: ‘not perfect in any way, but simply irresistible.’ Kawkab is a linebred double Akhtal, with considerable DS infusions up close in her pedigree. Her outstanding filly is El Sit, seen in full motion on youtube viewable from my Facebook page: The Egyptian Alternative.”
