LM Fellini
Bred by La Movida Arabians of Ferdinand Huemer in Austria, LM Fellini was born in 1997. This chestnut stallion was a son of Essteem (Fame VF x Espressa by El Shaklan), the first European Triple Crown winner and sire of first female Triple Crown winner Essteema. Through Essteem, Fellini traced in direct male line to the desert-bred stallion Mirage, whose descendants through Bay Abi and Bey Shah shaped much of modern American show breeding. Essteem, imported to Austria in 1993, brought this distinctive sire line to continental Europe, where it became an important influence in the La Movida breeding program.
LM Fellini’s dam, MFA Forgetmenot (Fame VF x Benraz Fantasy by Benraz), was bred in the United States by Sheila Morgan and imported to Austria for La Movida Arabians. Like Essteem, she was sired by Fame VF, making LM Fellini the product of a deliberate half-brother–half-sister mating. Through that concentrated breeding LM Fellini carried the unmistakable stamp of Fame VF.
MFA Forgetmenot’s dam line traced through Nisreen to the desert bred mare Dajania, one of the foundation mares of Crabbet Park.
LM Fellini was shown as a young stallion. As colt he achieved a Top Ten placing at the World Championships in Paris in 1998. The following year, he placed fourth in his class at the All Nations Cup in Aachen, confirming his consistent quality and appeal among international judges.
In 2004, Fellini reached one of the highlights of his show career when he was awarded a Gold ribbon and named overall winner at the stallion licensing in Aachen. This recognition reflected both his conformation and his movement, as well as his balanced disposition under presentation.
Beyond his show accomplishments, LM Fellini was valued above all for his temperament and strong bond with people. According to his later owners at Matahari Arabians in Germany, he was a stallion of remarkable intelligence, sensitivity, and honesty. He approached work with willingness and attention, responding readily to human cues and forming close relationships with his handlers.
LM Fellini was described as a stallion of pronounced Arabian expression, marked by a dry, finely sculpted head, large eyes, and an elegant outline. His conformation showed harmonious proportions and a naturally arched neck that he carried with ease and animation. He possessed a ground-covering walk and canter, and showed natural talent for collected work, displaying aptitude for dressage movements such as the passage. These qualities made him not only a show horse but also a versatile riding stallion with genuine athletic potential.
Through his conformation and quality, LM Fellini was also approved as a breeding stallion within the Barb horse studbook in 2009, a rare distinction for an Arabian.
While LM Fellini was primarily valued as a riding and performance stallion, he also passed on his qualities to a select number of offspring, demonstrating his consistency as a sire.
AH Kuda
The black Arabian stallion AH Kuda was foaled in 1999 in the United Kingdom, bred by Anne Hawke. His striking presence and rich black coat made him an immediate standout in the show ring. In 2002, AH Kuda stood at Georgian Arabians under the ownership of Samantha Halworth, who described him as “a vibrant, black, show-stopping stallion who turned heads everywhere we exhibited in 2002.” Though he remained there for only one season, he left a lasting impression by siring two colts: the exotic bay SG Kai and the homozygous blue-black SG Indigo, whose first foals were born in 2009.
AH Kuda’s dam, My Midnite Dancer (black, 1991, by MS Rafiq x My Raven), contributed both color and elegance. Through MS Rafiq she traces to Gdansk, while on her dam’s side she is a great-granddaughter of Aladdinn and Bey Shah, two of the most influential sires of the late twentieth century. My Midnite Dancer belongs to the historic Basilisk dam line. Basilisk was a Saklawiyah imported from Arabia in 1878 by Wilfrid and Lady Anne Blunt for their Crabbet Arabian Stud in England.
His sire, the bay Pilot (1987) by Fawor x Pipi, was bred at Janów Podlaski Stud in Poland. Pilot represents the Kuhailan Afas sire line through Comet and had a successful show career, winning the title of Polish National Junior Champion in 1988 before earning both British International Champion Stallion at Towerlands and International Champion Stallion at Blommeröd, Sweden, in 1996.
Pilot’s influence extended well beyond Poland. He stood at Millfield Stables in the United States from 1992 to 1994, served twice as Chief Sire at Janów Podlaski (2000–2001 and 2010–2011), and was Chief Sire at Halsdon Arabians in the United Kingdom between 2002 and 2009. Among his most notable offspring was the World Champion Colt G Tamin (1996, out of Shahteyna by Bey Shah).
This record of achievement set a high standard for his progeny — a standard AH Kuda would uphold through his own successful show career.
AH Kuda’s show career reflected both his heritage and his individual quality. His first major international appearance came in 2000, when he placed fifth in his class at the All Nations Cup in Aachen, Germany. In 2003, he returned to the British circuit, earning the title of Reserve Champion Stallion at the South East Regional Arab Horse Show.
He reached a new level of recognition in 2007, achieving 91.5 points and a Gold Medal at the UK International Arabian Horse Show (UKIAHS). This success established AH Kuda among the leading stallions in the United Kingdom. His performance career continued well into the following decade: in 2009, he was awarded Silver Champion Stallion at the Midland Group Arabian Festival; in 2010, he placed second in his class at the Internationale Tage des Arabischen Pferdes in Germany and third in his class at the All Nations Cup in Aachen. AH Kuda concluded his competitive record triumphantly in 2011, capturing the title of Gold Champion Stallion at the Midland Arabian Festival.
Although used selectively at stud, AH Kuda proved a consistent sire of type and refinement. Besides the already mentioned sons SG Kai and SG Indigo, he also sired lovely daughters like the black mare FAB Vanity Fair (2003, out of Simeon Safira), Hawa (2006, out of Orientalia D’Or), Avalon Shiva (out of Emilia Bint Eternity VI) and another black mare by the name of TA Arabella (2007, out of AH Anoushka).
More than a beautiful black stallion, AH Kuda proved through his show and performance record that he possessed both substance and the kind of athletic, rideable quality that defines the classic Arabian horse.
Emandoria
Few mares in the modern Arabian breeding embody both heritage and achievement as completely as Emandoria, the 2004 grey mare bred at Michalow Stud in Poland. Renowned for her refined beauty, perfect balance, and unmistakable presence, she represents the pinnacle of the Polish “E” family — a female line that has produced champions for more than half a century.
Emandoria is by Gazal Al Shaqab (1995), the internationally influential bay stallion bred by Al Shaqab Stud in Qatar. He was a son of Anaza El Farid and out of Kajora. During his lease to the Polish State Studs in 2003 and 2004, he revolutionized Polish breeding, siring some of the most successful show horses of the era, including Pianissima, Etnologia, and Emandoria. His get are celebrated for their expressive heads, balanced conformation, and undeniable show charisma.
Emandoria’s dam, Emanda (1996-2023, by Ecaho out of Emanacja), was one of Janów Podlaski’s most valuable mares and a direct descendant of the legendary Emigracja. Being from the first foal crop of Ecaho, Emanda was tall and aristocratic, with a luminous silvery coat, animated trot and exotic type.
Emanda was a World Senior Champion Mare herself and an Aristocrat Dam with five champion offspring. Her daughter Emandoria extended that success, becoming an Elite Aristocrat Dam with eight champion progeny. Remarkably, Emanda and Emandoria are the only mother-daughter pair in Arabian horse history to both hold World Senior Champion Mare titles, linking generations of excellence within the E-line that traces back to Emigracja through Emanacja.
Emandoria’s show career ranks among the most distinguished in modern Arabian history, spanning more than a decade and three continents.
Emandoria quickly established herself as a leading Junior filly. In 2005, she earned Polish National Reserve Champion Filly (Janów Podlaski), European Reserve Champion Filly (Verona, Italy), and World Champion Filly at the Salon du Cheval, Paris — her first world title. The following year, she continued her success by winning Champion Filly and Best-in-Show at the Polish Spring Show (Bialka, Poland), as well as European Champion Filly in Moorsele, Belgium.
Emandoria made a successful transition to senior competition. Highlights include Reserve Champion Mare at the All Nations Cup in Aachen (2009), Bronze Medal at the European Championships (Verona, 2009), and Bronze Medal at the World Championships (Paris, 2009).
From 2010 onward, she dominated major international A-shows winning All Nations Cup Senior Gold Champion Mare, European Senior Gold Champion Mare, and World Senior Silver Champion Mare.
Emandoria achieved her career peak in 2013 by sweeping the senior Triple Crown, winning Gold in the All Nations Cup Aachen, European Championships, and World Championships in the same year.
Her longevity and continued excellence were recognized in 2018 when she received the Platin Cup Champion Mare title at the Salon du Cheval, Paris — one of the highest honors in Arabian horse showing, highlighting her enduring influence and elite status.
Emandoria has proven herself not only as a show mare but also as an exceptional broodmare, passing on her refinement, charisma, and type to a generation of internationally recognized horses. Her first notable offspring, H Emandila H (by El Nabila B, 2008), continued the family tradition as a broodmare herself, producing H Emelia H, an East Coast Champion Mare. The following year, her son Royal Emanuel (by Eden C, 2009) established his own reputation, earning multiple US National Top Ten Stallion titles.
In 2010, Emandoria produced Emerald J (by QR Marc), who became a multi-international champion, including Gold Champion Colt at the Al Khalediah Arabian Horse Festival in 2012 and Silver Champion Stallion at the All Nations Cup 2017 and is now recognized as an influential sire in his own right.
Her daughter AJ Emana (by AJ Mardan, 2014) has achieved top honors in the Middle East, winning Gold Champion Mare titles at both the Dubai International and Sharjah International Arabian Horse Shows in 2018. Her most recent notable offspring, Emanolla (by Vitorio TO, 2015), won Polish National Gold Champion Filly in 2018 and placed among the top competitors at the World Championships in Paris in both 2018 and 2019.
Through these offspring, Emandoria has not only extended her influence internationally but also reinforced the strength and consistency of the E-line, combining Polish breeding excellence with modern global show standards.
Alidaar
The grey Straight Egyptian stallion Alidaar was foaled in 1984 in the United States, bred by Mildred and Russell Jameson of Ruminaja Arabians. A full brother to the renowned sire Ruminaja Ali, Alidaar carried an exceptional pedigree, combining some of the most influential lines of modern Egyptian breeding. Over the course of his life, he became a key figure in international Straight Egyptian programs in Europe and the Middle East.
Alidaar was sired by Shaikh Al Badi (Morafic x Bint Maisa El Saghira), a grey stallion celebrated for his elegance, type, and influence as a sire. Shaikh Al Badi was remembered for his lively yet controlled energy, noble head, and perfectly balanced silhouette, with a gracefully arched neck blending into powerful shoulders. He achieved success in the U.S. show ring, earning multiple class A halter championships and the U.S. National Futurity Reserve Champion title at age three. Over his lifetime, he sired nearly 700 foals, many of them champions, and became one of Morafic’s most prominent sons. His sire Morafic was foaled in 1956 at Egypt’s El Zahraa Stud. He was imported to the U.S. by Gleannloch Farms in 1965. A champion in the U.S., he became a leading imported Egyptian sire of national winners and producers, transmitting refinement, type, and elegance to his descendants.
Alidaar’s dam, Bint Magidaa (by Khofo x Magidaa), was widely admired for her refinement, expressive eyes, upright carriage, and short, well-proportioned back. As a filly, she impressed all visitors to Ruminaja Farms with her type and presence, foreshadowing her extraordinary career as a broodmare. Bint Magidaa produced multiple exceptional foals, including the full-brothers Ruminaja Ali, Ruminaja Bahjat, Ruminaja Fayez and Alidaar himself, as well as influential daughters such as Bint Bint Magidaa and Miss Maggie Mae.
In 1991, Alidaar was exported to Europe, purchased by Willi and Ursula Poth, founders of Dobel Stud in Germany and later breeders in southern France. The Poths were dedicated to Straight Egyptian Arabians and had imported prominent stallions including Ibn Galal (Magdi), Mehanna, Sherif Pascha, Mohssen and Alidaar himself. In the mid-1990s, a half share of Alidaar was sold to Jürgen Wölk, who later acquired full ownership.
Alidaar was subsequently leased for breeding in Germany (Authentic Egyptian Arabians / Kolster family) and Switzerland (Hanaya Stud / Nayla Hayek), extending his influence across Europe. In 1998, Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Khalid Al Thani of Al Rayyan Farm, Qatar, purchased him. He was later leased to H.H. The Emir of Qatar for Al Shaqab Stud, before returning to Al Rayyan Farm, where he continued to produce high-quality Straight Egyptian foals.
Alidaar began his show career in the United States under the management of David Gardner of Arabians Ltd., Texas. Between 1986 and 1990, he competed in Region 9 events, earning one Championship, one Reserve and multiple Top Five placings. He was recognized as a U.S. and Canadian Top Ten Futurity Stallion.
In Europe, Alidaar impressed judges from the outset. At Menton in 1991, he received near-perfect scores in his first French show. He went on to place seventh in Paris (1993), second at Aachen (1995), and Champion Stallion at Frauenfeld (1995). He won the “Platinum Cup” in 1997. In Qatar, he twice earned National Reserve Champion titles and placed second twice in the Qatar International Show for stallions 11 years and older.
Though overshadowed by his celebrated full brother Ruminaja Ali, Alidaar established his own reputation as a sire of refined, expressive, and well-conformed progeny. Among his notable European offspring were the stallions Classic Shadwan, who stood at Rothenberg Stud, Miad Al Shaqab, winner of a gold ribbon at the German stallion licensing and later a sire at Birkhof Stud, Germany and Classic Rayan, all of whom reinforced Alidaar’s reputation as a prepotent sire.
Alidaar died in September 2010 at the age of twenty-six, leaving behind a significant legacy of over 200 registered offspring, including influential sires and broodmares that continue to shape Straight Egyptian breeding in Europe and the Middle East.
WM Daraschad
WM Daraschad is a grey stallion, born in 2021, standing at approximately 15.0 hands. Bred and owned by Marbach State Stud, Germany, WM Daraschad was crowned winner of the German Stallion Licensing in 2024 and has subsequently been licensed as breeding stallion at the German Arabian Horse Association.
At the licensing, WM Daraschad was praised for his elegant conformation and movement. He demonstrates considerable reach and engagement in both walk and trot and shows efficient, balanced use of his body over the jump. Marbach highlighted his combination of 'refined Arabian type with clear riding-horse points and a solid foundation,' noting his natural aptitude for sport. His performance reflects not only his individual qualities but also the carefully selected bloodlines from which he descends.
WM Daraschad’s sire, Mosri Al Dahab, is a grey stallion born in 2004 by Dahab out of the German Elite mare Mosila. Dahab, best stallion of the 2006 licensing in Alsfeld, carries a mix of Polish and Egyptian breeding.
Mosri Al Dahab has competed successfully up to the M** level dressage (equal to Third Level in the U.S. system).
WM Daraschad's dam, Dahi, is a grey German Elite mare by Insh Allah out of the Elite mare Dukna. As part of Marbach’s broodmare band, Dahi has established herself as a consistent producer of quality offspring, especially sons. Notably, she is the dam of WM Devdas, another licensed stallion who is an excellent show jumper. Dahi’s dam line traces back to Murana I through Dschadaah and Dinarsad. Dschadaah remains historically significant as the only Marbach-bred mare to have been named a World Champion Mare.
WM Daraschad exemplifies the careful breeding philosophy of Marbach State Stud, which emphasizes a balance of type and performance. As a 2024 German Stallion Licensing winner, WM Daraschad is a notable addition to the contemporary Arabian horse breeding landscape, offering both aesthetic appeal and athletic potential to breeders and enthusiasts alike.
Mandana
The flea-bitten grey mare Mandana was foaled on May, 1st 1989. Bred in Germany by Irmtrud Mundinger of Mundinger Stud in Sallenbusch, she was awarded Premium mare. Mandana stood almost 15.4 hands, and was admired for her harmonious conformation and classical Arabian type. The Mundinger family sold her in 1991 and later entered the ownership of Nicole Barth in 1999.
Mandana was sired by Amwal El Shaklan, bred by Irmtrud Mundinger and used at her stud. Amwal El Shaklan was sired by El Shaklan. El Shaklan (Shaker El Masri x Estopa), foaled in 1975, was one of the most significant sires of the late 20th century. Bred in Germany, he became a truly international stallion, renowned for transmitting his characteristic beauty, balance, and charisma to his descendants. His influence extended across Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, shaping generations of modern Arabians known for their refinement and show presence.
Amwal El Shaklan’s dam Seja (by Hadban Enzahi out of Sethnacht) was bred by Marbach State Stud.
Mandana’s dam Mecca (by Mali out of Winette) was also of Marbach breeding, tracing to the Murana I damline over Dinarsad.
Mandana proved a consistent and valuable broodmare. Between 1994 and 2010, she produced six foals: two fillies and four colts. Her last four foals she had with Nicole Barth, a filly and a colt by Al Lahab and two colts by CH El Brillo.
Though Mandana was primarily a broodmare and family horse, she was shown in halter, placing first in her class at Arabica and second in her class at Orientalica.
Mandana passed away in December 2022, after more than three decades of life. She had spent over twenty years with her devoted owner Nicole Barth, to whom she had been given as a birthday gift and who shared a close and enduring bond with her. Letting Mandana go was deeply difficult for Barth, as the mare had been a treasured companion and friend.
