Ansiba Mujalli
Ansiba Mujalli is a Straight Egyptian stallion sired by Maysoun. The grey stallion Maysoun, foaled in 1985, in Germany, stands as a prominent representative of the Straight Egyptian Arabian horse. Bred and owned by Karin and Günter Maiworm of Maiworm Arabians, Maysoun carried forward some of the most revered Egyptian bloodlines, combining elegance, type, and proven breeding value. Among his most distinguished sons are F Shamaal (Reserve World Champion Colt and European Senior Champion Stallion), German National Champion Stallion Maydan-Madheen or German National Senior Bronze Champion Authentic Dahman
Maysoun was sired by Ansata Halim Shah, a stallion of international renown and arguably one of the most important Straight Egyptian sires of the late 20th century. Ansata Halim Shah was bred in the United States by Ansata Arabian Stud and leased to Germany, where he stood at stud and produced excellent foals.
Maysoun’s dam, Maysouna, was a chestnut mare born in 1978, sired by Ibn Galal and out of Kis Mahiba. She was imported to Dr. Nagel's Katharinenhof from Babolna.
Ansiba Mujalli's dam, the grey Ansiba Joumanah, a 1990 Straight Egyptian Arabian mare, was bred by Ansiba Arabians in Germany. She is the progeny of Shaikh Al Jiwan and Menaifah.
Shaikh Al Jiwan was sired by Ansata Omar Halim, a descendant of the influential stallion Ansata Ibn Halima. Ansata Omar Halim's dam, Ansata Rosetta, adds further depth to this lineage, tracing back to notable horses such as Ansata Ibn Sudan and El Bataa.
Menaifah was sired by Moneef, a son of Hadban Enzahi, and out of Moheba II. This combination brings together some of the most respected Egyptian lines of the German state stud of Marbach, including the EAO bred mare Malacha.
Ansiba Mujalli was born in 2003 at Elke Behrens' Ansiba Arabians, a small private stud in Northern Germany. He exhibits a refined, classic Arabian head with distinct breed type. His profile is gently concave (slightly dished), with a broad forehead, large expressive eyes, and small, finely shaped ears. His body is well-proportioned with good depth of girth and a strong, level back with a a well-laid-back shoulder. His movement is forward and balanced with a high tail carriage. All in all, his conformation makes him an excellent and elegant riding horse.
Although Ansiba Mujalli was not extensively shown, he proved his value as a reliable riding stallion and an important sire for Ansiba Arabians. In 2024, he was even leased to Egypt for a breeding season, making a direct contribution to the Egyptian breeding program. His legacy continues through his 2013-born son, GWS Mashari—bred by Günter Seidlitz—who carries forward the sire line with distinction.

Elf Layla Walayla
Elf Layla Walayla was sired by the beautiful stallion Assad. Born in 1984, Assad was bred by the German breeder Dr. Hans Nagel, who played a pivotal role in enhancing the Straight Egyptian program in Germany by importing Hanan from El Zahraa. Hanan became his foundation mare producing excellent foals knowing for the classic beauty. Assad's sire was Ansata Halim Shah, a sire who does not need further introduction. His progeny have achieved global acclaim for their superior quality.
Assad's dam, Arussa, further enriched his pedigree. Arussa was a full sister to the U.S. Top Ten Stallion Jamilll, sire of notable horses such as World Champion Mare and European Champion Mare Tiffaha.
Bred and born at Babolna stud Elf Layla Walayla's dam was 223 Ibn Galal I, a Straight Egyptian daughter by Ibn Galal I who was chief sire at Babolna in the 1980's. Her dam line traced to desert bred mare Ghazieh from Saklawi strain.
The name Elf Layla Walayla translates from Arabic as 'Arabian Nights', a poetic homage to her enchanting beauty and classic lineage.
True to her heritage, Elf Layla Walayla inherited the refined conformation and expressive features characteristic of her lineage. She exhibited a harmonious blend of strength and elegance, with a well-proportioned body, a gracefully arched neck, and a distinctive head featuring large, expressive eyes. Her movement was fluid and poised, reflecting the athleticism and grace inherent in her bloodlines.
1998 marked a dazzling year for Elf Layla Walayla on the European show circuit. She became a household name among Arabian enthusiasts after earning a series of top honors, including Senior Female Reserve Champion Mare at Aachen's All Nations Cup and Senior Female Reserve World and European Reserve Champion Mare.
Besides her halter show career, Elf Layla Walayla was a valuable broodmare. Before being acquired by Nayla Hayek for her Hanaya Stud in Switzerland she produced her most distinguished offspring: El Nabila by Kubinec. Bred at Babolna he is a stallion who has garnered international recognition. El Nabila B has achieved significant success in the show ring being Brazilian National Champ Senior Stallion and has sired numerous champions, thereby extending the influence of Elf Layla Walayla's exceptional genetics across the globe.
For Nayla Hayek, Elf Layla Walayla brought six foals, four colts and two fillies of whom the mare Hanaya Elissar might be the most notable one. Her second daughter Hanaya Habibtee produced the mare Hanaya Layla who is a worthy successor of her exotic grand-dam.
Elf Layla Walayla was retired from broodmare duties in 2010. She died in 2019 at the age of 28.

Nasik
Born in 1912 at the Crabbet Arabian Stud in England, Nasik was a product of two of the most distinguished lines in early 20th-century Arabian breeding. He embodied the vision of Lady Anne and Wilfrid Blunt, and later Lady Wentworth, to combine type, temperament, and athletic ability into one cohesive and beautiful animal.
Nasik’s sire Rijm, foaled in 1901, was a bay stallion of commanding presence and strong desert type. He was sired by Mahruss II, a horse imported from the Egypt by the Blunts, known for his refined head and fluid movement. Rijm inherited his sire's qualities and was known for his proud bearing, excellent legs, and high-set tail. His dam, Rose of Sharon, was a daughter of Hadban, bringing in the prized Saklawi strain, known for elegance and nobility.
Rijm had a long and successful breeding career at Crabbet and was widely used to consolidate type and temperament. His influence permeated the stud, and he was recognized for consistently passing on sound conformation and a high degree of Arabian character. Besides Nasik, he produced the sires Rodan, Nureddin II and Noam, the successful endurance horses Crabbet and Belka and sire of the broodmares Rijma and Fejr.
Nasik’s dam, Nargileh, foaled in 1905, was one of the last great daughters of Mesaoud, the Egyptian import who revolutionized Crabbet breeding. Through her dam Narghileh, Nargileh also brought in the blood of Dajania, one of the original Blunt foundation mares.
Nargileh exemplified feminine refinement, with a beautiful head, large expressive eyes, and outstanding movement. She was known to produce foals of great intelligence and quality, with a strong emphasis on substance without sacrificing type. She represented the Kehilan Dajani strain, known for its good-minded and functional horses.
Nasik stood at Crabbet for several years, although his early breeding career was not extensive. He did, however, prove his worth as a sire of typey, correct foals.
While Nasik was never among the most heavily promoted Crabbet stallions, he was valued for his refined appearance, excellent legs, sloping shoulder, strong back, and balanced proportions. He stood 15.1 hands. His color had a golden metallic , brilliant sheen.
His conformation was harmonious: a deep chest, strong loins, and clean limbs that spoke to his utility. He carried a slightly higher tail set than some of his contemporaries and showed good hock engagement in movement. His trot was noted for fluidity and lightness, not extravagant, but economical and athletic. Cecil Covey said about him once: 'Superlative style. A real peacock. [...] A highly-strung, excitable temperament, full of fire. Lovely head.'
During his time in Britain, Nasik sired 24 registered purebred foals, often valued for their riding qualities and sensible temperaments. Among them the three mares Rokhsa and Ranya who founded their own families in the USA and Spain respectively. It was only after his export to the United States that his legacy truly began to unfold.
In 1926, at the age of 18, Nasik was imported to the United States by WK Kellogg, founder of the Kellogg Arabian Ranch in California. Nasik’s arrival in America was met with interest by breeders focused on preserving the original type and endurance qualities of the Arabian horse.
In the U.S., he produced the stallion Farana, a bay stallion that became a Stock horse Champion and was US Army Remount Service stallion. Nasik also sired Rifnas, an excellent dressage horse and broodmare producer and the mare Ferdika.
Nasik spent his final years at stud in the United States before he was put down in July 1937 at the age of 29.

Dalal Al Zarka
Dalal Al Zarka was a grey daughter by Rabdan El Azrak or Rabdan for short. The grey Rabdan El Azrak was bred by Prince Ahmed Kemal of Egypt in 1897. After the Prince died, Rabdan was given to Prince Mohamed Ali (the heir of Prince Ahmed Kemal was not interested in continuing his fathers breeding program).
The same happened to Om Dalal, a chestnut Saklawiyah Jedraniyah mare. She was the dam of Dalal Al Zarka. Om Dalal was by Sabbah I out of Bint Roda/Bint Roga.
Through Om Dalal and Rabdan, Dalal Al Zarka, was full-sister to Samhan, a chestnut stallion whose son Ibn Samhan was the sire of Balance, one of the greatest Egyptian race horses, and sire of Kheir. The latter sired Gassir, a grey stallion whose sons Mourad, Sabeel and Zaghloul still have influence today.
Dalal Al Zarka, also known as Bint Dalala or Dalal I, was born at Prince Ahmed Kemal's stud in Egypt in 1903. She was described as an attractive and refined mare with big, expressive eyes, however a bit long in body but good depth.
Dalal Al Zarka had her first registered foal when she was already 9 years old. That grey colt was Gamil Manial, her only son. Gamil Manial left 11 foals of which one son Mansour should be named here. The very masculine Mansour, a grey Kuhaylan Mimri, was the sire of the most influential stallion from Egypt: Nazeer. Nazeer dominated the Straight Egyptian breeding program through his sons and daughters world-wide for decades.
In 1920, when Dalal Al Zarka was 17, she brought the grey mare Ghazalah by her half-brother Kawkab (Saklawi II x Om Dalal). Ghazalah became a broodmare at the Egyptian Inshass Stud. Her family lives on through her only daughter Saada by El Deree.
The second born daughter out of Dalal Al Zarka, was the chestnut Khafifa by Ibn Sahman. Khafifa was the dam of a colt and a filly. The filly was Medellela by Awad. Medallela was the granddam of Moniet El Nefous who was referred as the most beautiful mare of her time. Mainly through her, the family branch of Dalal Al Zarka and her dam Om Dalal is very vital today.
After Khafifa, Dalal Al Azrak gave birth to her last foal, Bint Dalal. Bint Dalal, a grey Hamran daughter was born in 1926.
Dalal Al Azrak died in Egypt in 1931.

Ibn Mahruss
In 1896 the Blunts acquired a big strong chestnut stallion with 4 white stockings from Ali Pasha Sherif. His name was Mahruss (or Mahruss II). At Crabbet Park he was rarely used but through his son Rijm his line continues. His only other son was Ibn Mahruss who was bred at Crabbet but was sold in utero to the U.S. in 1900. Ibn Mahruss dam was Bushra, a bay Saklawi mare. She was a granddaughter by Crabbet’s foundation mare Basilisk, a grey mare imported to England in 1878. Born in 1901, Ibn Mahruss became a leggy chestnut stallion with 4 white stockings like his sire. He was used by Homer Davenport, siring 8 registered foals of whom the stallion El Jafil was most important. El Jafil sired El Sabok. El Sabok is - through his son Stambul - the grandsire of Alla Amarward, one of the most influental American sires. Back to Ibn Mahruss: In 1915 he was sold to Anita Baldwin who enjoyed him as a saddle horse. Ibn Mahruss sired his last registered foal as a 17-years old. His exact date of death is unknown.

KP Noury
The Gold premium stallion KP Noury is a Straight Egyptian born in 2015. His sire is KP Maryoom who was chief sire at Kauber Platte. KP Maryoom is a Kaisoon grandson out of KP Mofida, a Idrees daughter. KP Mofida traced to Malacha, a mare that was imported from El Zahraa in utero to Germany.
KP Maryoom's dam line traces to the founder of the 'M' family of Marbach State Stud. Due to this connection he was leased to Marbach in 2012 and 2014 where he produced 11 foals before he went back to his home stud at Kauber Platte.
KP Noury's dam is KP Naima, a KP Mokeel daughter. KP Naima is a granddaughter of the El Zahraa bred mare Nana. The dark-chestnut Tuhotmos daughter was imported to Germany in 1971 and became foundation mare of Kauber Platte Stud leaving 11 registered foals.
KP Noury is distinguished by an exotic type, a well-proportioned body, an excellent topline, very good movement, and a solid legs. He is now standing at Kauber Platte stud following KP Maryoom as chief sire.
