Another Peek into the Archives

Desert Bred Arabians was blessed to have found quality horses early on to form the foundation of our breeding program. Our horses are of Saudi Arabian bloodlines, or Saudi related thru the old classic lines. In these bloodlines, you'll find names from the strains developed from the Bedouin tribes of the Arabian Peninsula: Hamdani, Abayyan, Dahman etc. The history of how these horses came be and then found their way to teh USA is very intriguing. Some sources to visit for the history is www.desertbredarabians.com, www.alkhamsa.org and www.bluearabianshorsecatalog.org.

Pictured below is Al Fea, one of the many mares responsible for passing on her tremendous qualities to her descendants.

This conformation shot of Al Fea is adorable - doesn't she have the cutest expression? I love the perky ears! lol

Al Fea's tail female line is Hamdani. Her lines include Al Hamdaniah, Nasr, Exorchorda, Turfa and Fadl.

Here is Al Fea being shown, years ago, at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield.

One of the daughters Al Fea produced, by imported stallion Furtha Dhellal, was Desert Feall. Feall produced several horses for our program, all who share many common traits - her sweet personality, stamina and a canter to fall in love with!

At left is DB Bey Barz, one of Al Fea's 'grandbabies' :). Bey Barz is one of our young stallions in training for sporthorse events.

Here is Bey Barz warming up for the Al Khamsa convention earlier this year.

Full sister to Bey Barz is DB Fatima (left) who is coming on 5 years old this year. Fatima shares her brother's athleticism and agility. Endurance or showing, we are sure she will shine in whatever she finds herself.

An older full brother to Bey Barz and Fatima is DB Fame. Because of his sweet personality, Fame earned the nickname Friendly around the barn, and he just oozed personality :). DB Fame went on to carry his junior rider owner on many endurance rides and always top ten'd. HIs canter was smooth as silk and his owner had a great time competing with him.

Do you have any Al Fea stories or pictures of her descendants? Please share!
