stallion Rashad Ibn Nazeer) became the dam of US National Champion Serenity Sonbolah (x Sameh), a truly magnificent mare who was admired by so many in the US. Later her influence would be felt internationally. She is the granddam of popular Australian sire PVA Sonbali (Ruminaja Ali x Imperial Sonboleen) among others. Another Nazeer daughter who remained in Egypt was the lovely Nagdia (x Zahia). She was a foundation mare for famed Albadeia Stud. This female line gives us the incredible sire and World Champion Al Adeed Al Shaqab. This is also the dam line of the beautiful Simeon import, Ibtehag Albadeia who has two crosses to Nagdia. Even if only for sentimental reasons, the EAO would never part with Nazeer’s very first daughter, Dahma II (x Futna). She had seven foals at the EAO and four of her daughters would carry her legacy forward. The first being Richard Pritzlaff’s mare Bint Dahma (x El Sareei) who has significant impact in the US, though rarer in Australia and New Zealand. It would be Dahma II’s third daughter, Deenaa (x Sameh) who would become influential in many nations. Firstly, she is the female line of the Qatar National Champion Thaqib Al Nasser (x Ansata Halim Shah) who became a key sire at Saba Arabians in Australia. But Deenaa is also the dam line of Simeon Stud’s muchadmired international champion sire Anaza Bay Shahh (x Shaikh Al Badi). His 3/4 brother Anaza El Nizr (x Ruminaja Ali) was also imported to Australia becoming a well used sire. Of course the Dahma II line from Deenaa becomes globally renowned for Anaza El Nizr’s full brother Anaza El Farid, most famously the grandsire of international champion sire Marwan Al Shaqab. It was only a matter of time before others managed to pry away from Egypt some choice Nazeer daughters. Among the first to leave Egypt were two mares imported to the US in 1958 by Richard Pritzlaff, the lovely black mare Bint El Bataa (x El Bataa) and the beloved Bint Moniet El Nefous (x Moniet El Nefous), the only daughter of Moniet El Nefous ever to leave Egypt. Bint El Bataa would go on to distinguish herself in Australia from her son Sankt Georg (x Ansata El Salim). Though he died unexpectedly he nonetheless left 27 get including the incomparable broodmare Simeon Safanad (x 27 Ibn Galal-5), who produced a string of incredibly influential

horses internationally including World Champion Simeon Shai (x Raadin Royal Star) and the magnificent black stallion in the UK, Simeon Sadik (x Asfour). The lovely Nazeer daughter Bint Moniet El Nefous was a treasure who never left her home farm at Rancho San Ignacio and from there she gave Richard Pritzlaff 13 exceptional foals all of which bred on. Australia was the beneficiary of one of her finest sons, the handsome chestnut Rasmoniet RSI (x Rashad Ibn Nazeer). Though he was on lease in Australia for only one season, he sired over 30 foals leaving a fine contribution from his dam
Bint Moniet El Nefous. Rasmoniet RSI’s full sister Bint Bint Moniet is dam of renowned sire Moniet El Sharaf (x Ibn Moniet El Nefous) and he is the grandsire of Australian import The Fugitive. Another brother to Rasmoniet RSI is Alcibiades who sired Australian import R.G. Perseus who is also a grandson of Bint El Bataa. Other Nazeer daughters would soon follow to North American shores, eventually leaving their impact internationally. Ansata Arabian Stud in 1959 brought into the US three Nazeer yearlings, one colt (Ansata Ibn Halima) and two fillies. The two fillies were Ansata Bint Mabrouka, a full sister to Morafic
