The Summer Classic show sponsored by the Georgia Arabian Horse Association was great fun.  Lily of Paradise (Thee Desperado x Lily Langtry HG) won the SE Senior Mare halter class and championship along with the Amateur to Handle Class with Ms. Sue Ward at the lead.  Her bunkmate, El Razeel Al Ameen (Pimlico RCA x Noir Desir by Alixir), performed in Dressage Training Level 1 & 2 for the first time bringing home the Reserve and Third place honors.  The show was held at the beautiful International Horse Park in Conyers, GA.  It was a fun time and the horses gained valuable show experience in addition to their lovely ribbons and wins.  Thanks to our great trainer, Vanessa Koper-Hanscom, for all her support and handling and to our great friends Sue Ward, of Blue Sky Arabians, and Mr. Cole of Belvedere Farms for showing Ms. Lily to her wins.

We are thrilled to announce that Jasoorah has sold to Inga Applequist of Rosecrest Arabians in California.  After winning at the 2013 Egyptian Event many people wanted this lovely filly for their own.  Many thanks to Ricardo Rivero and Tara Carpio for assistance with the sale.  We are excited to see Jasoorah grow in her show career and as a brood mare.

Every year Straight Egyptians from all over the world come to the Kentucky Horse Park in early June to compete.  This year we are very proud to announce that our very own Jasoorah Al Ameen (Pimlico RCA x Noir Desir by Alixir) won Most Classic Head; Reserve Champion in World Class Fillies and The Extended Futurities; and was crowned the 2013 Silver Champion Junior Filly for the show!

We are thrilled and grateful to Belvedere Farm’s Tara Carpio who trained Jasoorah and her staff for caring for her every need and to Ricardo Rivero who showed her to the win.  Small breeders can make a splash at the big shows and we just proved it!  Come for a visit and meet this incredible breed of horse.  We know you will fall in love too!

Our handsome gelding El Razeel (Rascal) competed in his first event ever during the Western Carolina Arabian Horse Show in April, 2013.  Rascal has been training hard and it all paid off when he took the blue ribbons and the division championship in Intro Level Dressage.  Winning in Intro Levels A, B and C, Rascal was ridden to the win by his companion and trainer, Vanessa Koper-Hanscom.  Many thanks to Vanessa for her dedication to teaching Rascal and showing the world that Egyptian Arabians can rock the Dressage ring!  Rascal is working to conquer the next level of Dressage – Training Level.  Look for him at the 2013 fall WCAHA show.

Rascal is available for purchase.  He is a big boy, loves his work, and could be your next win in the ring.  Interested parties please give us a call or an email.

At the end of March, 2013, our lovely filly, Jasoorah, competed at her first show and won not only the Straight Egyptian halter classes, but also won the Open Halter classes bringing home the blue ribbons and the championship!  Jesse, as we call her, is a big, bold, fluent moving gal with incredible Arabian presence.  Thanks goes out to Tara Carpio of Belvedere Farms for training and showing her in her first show and to her first win.  Next stop is the Egyptian Event coming up in June.  She will be shown in the Extended Specialty 3-year old Fillies Class.  Jesse is sired by Pimlico RCA out of our black Alixir mare, Noir Desir.

If you are looking for a foundation mare to start your breeding program and a definite show girl, Jasoorah Al Ameen has it all.  Interested parties please give us a call or email.

We are extremely proud and excited to announce the international sale of Noor Al Noufous (The Singleton x Noir Desir by Alixir) to Saudi Arabia.  She was purchased for breeding and show purposes and we can’t wait to hear all about her career in the years to come.  Many thanks go out to Liz Salmon and Charley Suarez for their assistance in making this sale happen.

August 25th 2011 is not only my daughter’s 20th birthday but it is also the birthday of our latest foal here at Al Ameen.  Our wonderful mare, Gazaala, presented us with a fabulous colt early this morning.  The little man arrived at 6:45 am and promptly began to show us that he is important, smart, and doesn’t need to be taught anything–he’s got it, thank you very much!  Sired by the majestic Ansata Qasim of the legendary Ansata Arabian Stud & Highview Egyptian Stud, this colt is royal indeed.  Mom and son are doing well in their mare-ternity suite here on the farm and we are wildly excited about his future!  2011 has been the year of the boys for Al Ameen Arabians and we couldn’t have asked for a more fantastic lineup!

On Monday, 4/25 the local chapter of the 4-H came to Al Ameen to meet and learn about the Egyptian Arabian.  Children and parents alike enjoyed learning what makes an Arabian and Arabian and the horses loved all the attention!  The stars of the “meet and greet” were definitely our two new colts.  Moms were proud to show the crowd their little men and the boys, well, they loved showing off for the crowd!  We loved sharing our farm and our horses with the club and hope to see them again soon.

On Saturday morning, 4/23 Dafiinah MCE (Thee Infidel x Masira Bay) delivered a big, substantial colt by the handsome stallion Mishaal HP.  Strikingly handsome the newest man to arrive at Al Ameen Arabians is spunky and not afraid of chasing down what he wants—milk from mom or a butterfly across the paddock!!  We congratulate Debbie and David Myers of Gardensgate Plantation on the newest addition to their herd.  It’s raining men here at Al Ameen and we love it!!
