Ansata Bint Bukra (Nazeer x Bukra) PC: Jerry Sparagowski
and Bint Zaafarana (x Zaafarana), a full sister to Talal. These two fillies would be part of a group of very influential Nazeer daughters who founded Ansata Arabian Stud. In fact Ansata owned more Nazeer daughters than any other private stud in the world. Ansata Bint Mabrouka was a magnificent mare of exceptional type, quality and movement and there were high hopes for her. She gave three famous sons and then unfortunately died but those three became world-renowned. They were Ansata Abbas Pasha (x Ansata Ibn Halima), Ansata Ibn Sudan (x Ansata Ibn Halima) and Ansata Shah Zaman (x Morafic). While on lease in Europe Ansata Abbas Pasha sired World Champion Sherif Pascha. Four Ansata Abbas Pasha daughters produced foals in Australia, Al Nahr Janie (x Hannah), Australian National Champion Simeon Savion (x Novina), LF Sumana (x Siralima) and Fayette (x Bint Fay Roufa). Ansata Abbas Pasha’s full brother Ansata Ibn Sudan went on to become the first Straight Egyptian stallion to win the US National Championship and thereafter was an important sire internationally with descent also in Australia and New Zealand. Among his most important Ansata-bred sons is Ansata Imperial (x Ansata Delilah), champion sire for Imperial Arabians and sire of Australian import Royal Amirah. Another important son is Ansata Abu Sudan (out of the Nazeer daughter Ansata Bint Misuna), sire of Ansata Sudarra who founded a dynasty represented by her son Ansata Hejazi and grandsons Ansata Sinan and Ansata Iemhotep, who sired Rhodium Stud’s Ansata Nile Pharaoh who has four lines to

Ansata Ibn Sudan. He won New Zealand’s title of Reserve National Champion Stallion. Ansata Bint Mabrouka’s other son Ansata Shah Zaman by Morafic became a supreme sire. His son Ansata El Shahwan (x Ansata Rhodora) was one of the first Straight Egyptian stallions imported to Australia, imported by the Forest Hill Stud of Peter Pond, current WAHO president. Ansata El Shahwan became a very influential and heavily used sire in Australia. Ansata Shah Zaman was also an excellent sire of mares and one of his most famous was his very first foal Ansata Rosetta, globally celebrated for her immortal son Ansata Halim Shah. Ansata Bint Zaafarana had ten foals all sired by Ansata Ibn Halima. Her sons emerged most popular and included the US National Top Ten and champion sire Ansata El Nisr as well as Ansata Abu Nazeer, foundation sire for Glorieta ranch in the US and his blood is found throughout the Arab world now via his many excellent daughters. He is an ancestor of the Australian import, the black stallion Murano SPI (Bellagio RCA x Lola Baraki). Ansata would return to Egypt again to bring back perhaps the most famous and most beloved of Nazeer daughters in the Ansata program, Ansata Bint Bukra (Nazeer x Bukra). Her huge family from her numerous daughters and granddaughters has spread her influence globally in a way that is almost incalculable. She is renowned in Australia as the granddam of the previously mentioned Ansata El Shahwan, imported by Peter Pond and sire of numerous foals. Ansata Bint Bukra is of course also celebrated for her
famous grandson Ansata Halim Shah. His only son born in Qatar, Thaqib Al Nasser (x Imperial Madanah) won Qatar National Champion and subsequently was imported to Australia for Saba Arabians. The Ansata Halim Shah son Neshan (x Noha) bred by Marbach in Germany was imported to Australia and well used. Ansata Halim Shah is also the grandsire of Ansata Iemhotep, US Egyptian Event Supreme Champion Stallion and international sire of champions who came to Australia. In fact Ansata Iemhotep has two lines to Ansata Bint Bukra. Ansata Halim Shah sired the legendary Ansata Hejazi (two lines to Ansata Bint Bukra), a champion sire widely influential in the US, Kuwait and Qatar, with a son, Laheeb Al Rayyan coming to Australia. Peter Pond imported the Ansata Hejazi daughter Ansata Bint Faressa in utero. Ansata Hejazi is the grandsire of previously mentioned Ansata Nile Pharaoh. A stallion representing a great concentration of Ansata Bint Bukra blood is the Australian import NK Hamoudy (NK Jamal El Dine x Helala) bred by Dr. Hans Nagel. He has seven lines to Ansata Bint Bukra. As one can see the lines to Ansata Bint Bukra quickly add up from her many popular descendants and she is one of the most globally influential Nazeer daughters. In the 1960s as Ansata was blossoming in the US, another farm became enthralled with Egyptian horses: the world renowned Gleannloch Farms. They imported the Nazeer daughter Bint Nefisaa (Nazeer x Nefisa), a lovely mare whose son El Hilal (x Ansata Ibn Halima) became one of the most heavily used and popular sires in North America, with 639
