Egyptian Breeder Profiles

ATUM (Silver SK x Aleah Al Moutribah)

ALEAH ARABIANS Robin Lee Deming, New Mexico Ruminaja Ali was the first straight Egyptian Arabian I saw at U.S. Nationals and he took my breath away,” says Robin Lee. “He was my ideal of what an Arabian horse should look like. I decided that I wanted to breed that type of Arabian and contribute to the small percentage of Arabians that are straight Egyptian to help carry on their heritage. “There are two horses that come close to my ideal. One is Hadban al Shaqab, a perfect example of the classic desert Arabian and I am so blessed that he has come here to Aleah Arabians. Of the horses I have bred it would have to be Atum. A grandson of Al Adeed al Shaqab, Hadban’s maternal brother, Atum has substance, type, in your tent loving personality, has the elusive black coloring and is stunningly beautiful. And, his other grandsire is Thee Desperado. To me two of the all time greats of the breed!

“I consider one of my greatest acheivements to be getting others involved with the Arabian horse and seeing the pleasure they have in just owning and loving these magnificent creatures. Each one absolutely steals your heart away. “Where breeding is concerned I believe to introduce hybrid vigor, a breeder needs to incorporate outside bloodlines into their own band of mares. I am always on the lookout for that perfect next outcross. “One way to promote the Egyptian Arabian is to get together with other straight Egyptian breeders in your area and hold open houses and invite the public to come and participate. Also, I have always enjoyed showing at the open class A and Regional shows. Another is to support the clubs and shows that have straight Egyptian classes and donate breedings to your straight Egyptian stallions to the Futurity Auctions and get them out there for people to use. “My fondest wish is that every horse sold or placed from my farm have a loving home and be well cared for. I believe the straight Egyptian Arabian horse has a bright future as all top stud farms and breeders eventually go back to a straight Egyptian to add more type and stamina. They are the original Arab and will always be!”

EGYPTIAN DREAM ARABIANS Gerald Johnston “Imperial Imdal was the first Egyptian horse I ever saw,” says Gerald Johnston. “The horse that comes the closest to my ideal Egyptian Arabian is my own three-year-old colt, Adnan Aljassimya (Nisr Al Rayyan x Athena Al Zobair by *Al Adeed Al Shaqab). He has great bloodlines and is a future star. “My greatest achievement as a breeder of Egyptian Arabians is having shown two of them to straight Egyptian show championships. I would like to see more events for Egyptian Arabians at more shows.
