This page is dedicated to the stallions who had their home at our stud and had an influential part in our breeding program.
EMIRATUS B is one of the best sons of the well-known El Thay Mameluk and out of the elite mare 223 Ibn Galal I. This makes him a valuable breeding stallion, who combines rare bloodlines.
His dam 223 Ibn Galal I is one of the best broodmares at the Hungarian state stud Babolna. She is also the dam of the famous World Reserve Championess 218 Elf Layla Walayla. Emiratus sire, El Thay Mameluk, was born at El Thayeba stud. He is out of the El Thay foundation mare Mansoura and sired by Ibn Nazeema, a very typey chestnut stallion, who fascinated many breeders world wide. Mameluk clearly inherited traits from both: huge round black eyes and good movement from Mansoura, neat little twisted ears from Ibn Nazeema, bright colour and lots of classic type from both sides. He also had a wonderful character and was a pleasure to ride. Mameluk was bought by Sabine von Elm when he was two years old. Over the years he made an international career – being leased to Babolna and finally at the age of 19 being sold to Mr. Talal Al Mehri´s Aljazira Arabian stud in Kuwait, where many breeders used the chance to breed to these bloodlines.
Emiratus B derives from Mameluk´s lease to the Hungarian state stud Babolna. He is the stallion who carries on the very best traits of Mameluk most. Many of his foals look very much like their grandfather and they certainly do have the typical exotic look and charisma. Emiratus qualities earned him a Premium stallion award (gold) at the stallion licensing in Aachen. In 2001/2002 he was on lease to the UK, which resulted in the title Leading Sire UK 2003. He is SCID & CA clear and of Koheilan Jellaby strain.

Ghazal Al Badia is a refined and typey grey colt with a rare and unique pedigree.
This August 2013 colt is sired by the Qatari bred stallion Laheeb Al Nasser. Laheeb Al Nasser spent a significant portion of his breeding career at DeShazer Arabians in Houston, Texas. In 2012 he was sold to Hanaya Stud of Switzerland. Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful Straight Egyptian stallions in the world today, Laheeb Al Nasser is sired by World Champion stallion Al Adeed Al Shaqab and out of World Reserve Champion mare Bint Saida Al Nasser. Laheeb Al Nasser has subsequently sired many of his own international champions.
Ghazal Al Badia's dam Hanaa Al Badia is perhaps the only Al Adeed Al Shaqab daughter bred outside of the Middle East with a dam line to Inshass of Egypt's Saqlawiah mare Anzar.The Al Adeed Al Shaqab / Anzar cross has been a good one, producing two extremely successful young show mares for Al Shaqab Stud of Qatar; Nouf Al Shaqab and Laian Al Shaqab. Remarks Joe Ferriss, respected historian and writer, "This line from Anzar originates in the Royal Inshass Stud, the result of a gift from King Ibn Saud of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to King Farouk of Egypt, as a consequence of diplomatic visits to improve relations between the two countries. The gift was the fine grey mare Hind of the Saqlawi strain, the granddam of Anzar. Horses of this line are often very fine skinned and dry with a special elegance and beautiful facial expression.
