FM Shah Nasaa
FM Shah Nasaa demonstrates how endurance performance, rideability and breeding value can unite in a single individual. Successful in national and international endurance competitions, he distinguished himself through speed, consistency, and exceptional regenerative ability—traits he has passed on reliably to his offspring. The success of his progeny in endurance competition and breeding programs confirms him as a performance sire whose influence reaches well beyond the Straight Egyptian Arabian.
FM Shah Nasaa is a grey Straight Egyptian stallion, born in 2004, standing approximately 15.2 hands.
He was bred by Michael Greineder in Germany and is owned, trained and competed by Angelika Bruckner, Germany. From early on, he combined athletic talent with genetic relevance, earning approvals in both Germany and Austria and establishing himself as a stallion of uncommon versatility.
At the German stallion licensing in March 2011, FM Shah Nasaa was approved. In Austria, he was additionally licensed for Anglo- and Partbred Arabians, underlining his value as a refining sire.
FM Shah Nasaa’s athletic ability was confirmed through both classical and endurance-specific testing. In 2010, he completed the station performance test at Stadl Paura with 7.53 points, placing second overall and ranking as the best purebred Arabian of the test. In 2012, he successfully completed an additional endurance stallion performance test, further validating his aptitude for endurance.
His competition results reflect speed combined with remarkable physiological efficiency. In 2012, he placed fourth over 80 km in Litzelsdorf (Austria) at 15 km/h, qualifying for international rides; second over 80 km in Stadl Paura at 15.8 km/h; and first over 60 km in Airischwand, completed at an impressive 16.9 km/h. Additional placings include podium and top-ten results over distances from 54 km to 90 km in Germany and Austria. Particularly notable are his short recovery times and excellent pulse values, clear indicators of genuine endurance quality.
FM Shah Nasaa’s performance is firmly anchored in a pedigree renowned for functionality and durability. He is by Naskhi, bred at the State Stud Marbach, a son of the legendary Gharib. Imported from Egypt in 1970, this black stallion became important for the Marbach State Stud's breeding program. Heavily concentrated on the Nazeer, the breeding stock of Marbach needed some out-cross. Free of Nazeer blood and deeply rooted in desert-bred lines via Ibn Rabdan, Gharib was known for transmitting athleticism, elastic movement, soundness, size, and rideability with exceptional consistency.
Gharib’s descendants proved successful not only in purebred breeding but also in performance disciplines, including endurance sport.
Complementing the sire line, FM Shah Nasaa’s maternal background contributes additional substance and breeding value. FM Shah Nasaa's dam Dahmraks Asjah Bint Ashira is a daughter by El Thay Shah Manial, a grandson of Ansata Halim Shah, whose blood entered Germany in the early 1980s and became valued for refinement and classic Egyptian quality. The dam line traces directly to the German Elite mare Om El Arab, bred at Badeia Stud and imported to Germany in 1971. She became foundation mare of Sigi and Heinz Merz who named their stud farm in the Black Forest after her: Om El Arab (now situated in California as Om El Arab Int).
Through Dahmraks Asjah Bint Ashira, FM Shah Nasaa is brother to FM Shah Mahes (by Mahadin) who was halter shown.
FM Shah Nasaa is a long-legged, athletic stallion with three correct, rhythmical basic gaits. Walk and canter are particularly outstanding, the latter being long, effortless, and ideally suited to endurance riding. His people-oriented, cooperative character is reliably inherited, especially evident in his Partbred and Anglo-Arabian offspring.
His progeny have been successful in endurance sport up to 120 km, including Shah Haaleh AB (x Heartluck) and the Partbred daughter Lateefa AB, who also competed successfully in A-level dressage as a young horse. Another son, the black Sharaf Fareed AB (x Heart of Fire), continues his sire's riding and breeding career. Having an excellent canter, Sharaf Fareed AB's progeny stand out for their outstanding rideability, showing natural talent across the board, an uncomplicated temperament, and powerful, quality gaits.
FM Shah Nasaa’s daughters, Haria Bint Nasaa AB and Alia Bint Nasaa AB, carry their sire’s legacy forward on the maternal side as valued members of the broodmare band at Angelika Bruckner’s stud farm.
Through his offspring, FM Shah Nasaa has left a clear and lasting imprint.
FM Shah Nasaa represents a modern performance-oriented Straight Egyptian Arabian, proven in endurance and as breeding sire, continuing the legacy of Gharib.
