hee Infidel is the granddaddy in the barn right now, and as the last son of Bint Magidaa, one of Judy’s all-time favorite mares, he enjoys senior sire status,” says Shawn.
“Judy is so proud of him, and prizes him for his special nick with *Mishaal HP daughters and vice versa. A lot of Mishaal’s great ones are out of Infidel daughters, for example the mare Lola Sig (x Thee Phoenixx), Egyptian Event Reserve Supreme Champion Mare for the Linjawis.”

According to Judy, Thee Infidel’s foals inherit his height, attitude and charisma, his upright build, a beautiful short face, and an ability to compete well not only against straight Egyptians, but in open competition as well. An English pleasure winner under saddle himself, Infidel has also passed along his wonderful motion, legs, and athleticism to his foals. “He’s very tall, and very similar to Ruminaja Ali,” adds Shawn. “Because he’s bay, many people think he looks like Desperado, but I cared for Ali and let me tell you — Thee Infidel walks like Ali. When he’s coming down the barn aisle you’d better get out of the way, because he’s 1,100 pounds of testosterone. He’s very imposing.” It’s that kind of commanding presence that has convinced mare owners to breed over 250 Infidel foals, making him a new Arabian Horse World “Sire of Significance.” Congratulations, “granddaddy.”
