with the most popular sires being of mixed bloodlines, you wouldn’t expect that to put off anyone, but many German breeders still prefer straight Egyptians. Overall, straight Egyptian lines still make up the majority of all stallions coming up for registration. In 2009 however, there was not one straight Egyptian among the two-year-olds, which is unusual and may well be a sign of the times. The two-year-old gold winners were certainly a highly variable group, having not much in common besides meriting gold ribbons. Cafra Arabians’ Jaipur (WH Justice x Exotic Pure) was actually the tallest horse in the show with an impressive 15.3 hh, but still clearly far from mature. He is also quite untypical of WH Justice’s foals, which seems to go along with his being bay; Justice’s greys and chestnuts appear to run toward a certain recognizable type, but the bays are totally different and also much rarer. Jaipur’s dam Exotic Pure is a double Kubinec granddaughter with a Spanish dam line, so again this is an interesting mix. The remaining two “golden boys” were a lot smaller, in the case of Gazwan Al Nasser just around 14.2 hh, but well-balanced and again with enough frame and substance to not actually look small. Gazwan Al Nasser was bred in Qatar and represents that country’s most successful lines, being by Gazal Al Shaqab out of Ftoon Al Shaqab by Al Adeed Al Shaqab. A small, refined bay horse with an exquisite head, he has also been shown successfully and is now at the Ismer Stud. Last but not least, was another big-looking small horse, Jumanci OS, by WH Justice’s oldest son Ajman Moniscione out of Praetoria, a straight Russian mare by Kubinec. Bred and owned by Osterhof Stud, he reflects his sire’s double Padron breeding and has also done very well at the shows since he was a yearling. Praetoria, one of Osterhof ’s best producing mares, had another son at this show, the four-year-old grey Emotion, by Eternity Ibn
