Once we located our foundation mares, of course,  we had to put thought into what stallions we would use in our program. We wanted similar attributes in the stallions we chose. We considered the strengths and weaknesses of each mare and looked for a stallion to compliment them. Using pedigrees as a starting point, we then viewed videos, visited farms, and attended shows like the Egyptian Event in Lexington, Kentucky. We realize it takes years to establish a program that people associate with a recognizable type and quality.  The mares and stallions that we have selected are associated with programs that have achieved this reputation and it is our belief that this gives us a head start towards obtaining that dream.

Our reference sires are pictured below.

Amiin+//  (Ibn Morafic+++ x Ajibah)

Amiin+// is a distinguished working cow horse and halter competitior. He has won numerous championships in halter and working cow horse earning him the Legion of Excellence. He has numerous U.S. National top tens, a Youth National Reserve championship, Scottsdale Top Tens and Regional Championships in both open and amateur competition. He also ranked 7th in AHWs Top Reining Horses of 1995-2004. He is owned by Dan and Summer Rupley and trained by Larry Westmoreland. Larry says of Amiin+//,”He’s an extreme athlete, and he gives 125 percent every time you enter the ring.”

Amiin+// has proven to be a great cross with our mare, Nenaa.

Ibn Morafic+++  (*Morafic x *Kharamana)

Ibn Morafic+++ was bred by the great Gleannloch Arabians. He was 1976 U.S.National Champion Futurity Colt and also 1978 U.S. National Top Ten English Pleasure.

In addition to his distinguished show career in halter and performance, Imtaarif has sired numerous champions in halter and performance. He has consistantly been one of the top sires of champions at The Egyptian Event for several years. He produces pretty heads, good movement and great demanor.

Imtaarif has proven to be a good cross with our mare, Tabia.

Makhsous  (*Sultann x *Nabda)

Makhsous was the cornerstone of the breeding program at Kehilan Arabians. Makhsous’ sire, *Sultann was living out his retirement at Kehilan when Makhsous was acquired. Makhsous passed on Sultann’s athleticism, long neck and correct legs. He sired multiple National halter winners including a National Champion and has sired National champions in other countries. He has also sired horses that are winning in performance divisions.

*Serag  (Anter x Bint Om El Saad)

*Serag was Anter’s last son and maternal half brother to *Serenity Sonbolah a U.S National Champion mare. He produced 22 Straight Egyptian foals in the United States. He was imported by Abbasiyah-International. Judy Parks of Abbasiyah describes *Serag as “quite refined in the bone and he had a very long upright neck, an excellent well laid back shoulder, a long hip with a strong croup and high tail carriage. He had a lovely head, not dished but very Arab and masculine. *Serag’s legs were excellent with clean dry bone and well shaped and proportioned hooves. He was a super moving horse and passed this exceptional movement on to his offspring.”

Vanylla Ice  (The Egyptian Prince x MA Pistol)

Vanylla Ice was purchased by Kehilan Arabians as an outcross stallion. He is a son of the legendary The Egyptian Prince. He was a crowd favorite in Liberty at The Egyptian event. He is just starting his breeding career and he has been bred to Makhsous daughters at Kehilan with great results. We bred our Makhsous daughter to Vanylla Ice and she produced a very nice colt, LAA Nar Azar in 2008.

Makhnificent KA  (Makhsous x Star Bint Hafiza)

Makhnificent KA is one of two Makhsous son's standing at Kehilan Arabians. Bubba, as he affectionately known on the farm, has had a very successful show career including U.S. National Top Ten Yearling Sweepstakes Colt and U.S.. National Top Ten Futurity Stallion. He has also been the sire of Egyptian Event Champions and sire of Event EBC Champion and Reserve Champions. He is famous for his smooth body and topline, and his length of hip and croup are hard to beat. As a sire he is even more consistent than Makhsous.  Bubba adds type, tippy ears, big eyes, smooth bodies and beautiful faces.

We feel Makhnificent KA will make an excellent cross for a couple of our mares and have one mare, Nenaa in foal to him for a 2010 foal.
