Halimas Saayid

[ * Fayrid (imp USA) x Serdika by S.Sadik] 

November 2006 Colt 

Saayid has an impeccable pedigree of world-renowned proven bloodlines and Champions.  Bred by Forest Hill Arabians, he carries some of the most sought after genes in the current international Arabian horse industry including that of Anaza El Farid, the sire of Ghazal Al Shaqab who in turn is the sire of superstar Marwan Al Shaqab.  Saayid’s sire is an outstanding young Straight Egyptian son of Faahim (dec’d), and his dam is a daughter of international ‘star’ Simeon Sadik and the incredible Australian show mare Serrefa.  Serdika herself a champion and Australian Top Ten mare is also the dam of the 2006 Australian National Champion Stallion Sadiks Psyche. 

Saayid was carefully selected by Team De-Sharvarll as an outcross sire for our Vox daughters and the Polish-Egyptian division of our breeding program.

We would like to express our appreciation to Peter and Jenny Pond of Forest Hill Arabians NSW, not only for breeding Saayid, but affording us the opportunity of his acquisition.  Saayid will be campaigned at halter.

An exciting week at De-Sharvarll

November 12^th saw the arrival and visit of Jerzy Zbyszewski from the USA.  Better known as “George Z.”, he has an international equine consulting business based in America specializing in importing, promoting, leasing, and exhibiting some of the finest Arabian horses in the world.  His imports include the acclaimed Polish National, Scottsdale, Canadian National and US National Champion stallion *Emanor; Canadian National Champions Kwestura, Zagrobla, Fallada, El Dorada, Pianissima and US Res. National Champion stallion Ganges.

George is also a popular USEF “R” and internationally rated judge.  He has been to Australia in the past and judged at Canberra, but this was his first visit to Queensland. He is also co-author of the book The Arabian Horse: Poland’s National Treasure published by the Arabian Horse Times.

George spent a week here at the invitation of hosts Peter Rutten and Tony Midson discussing issues based around the international Arabian Horse Industry. As well as seeing our horses and projected breeding program in action, it also gave him a chance to visit with our two imported Polish mares, Demokracja US (by Emanor) and Francjeska (by Ganges).  The week also included some local site-seeing showing George the Australia Zoo, the Glasshouse Mountains and the Gold Coast giving him a taste of Queensland.  The visit was invaluable and everyone enjoyed the time spent with this humorous, vastly knowledgeable and most likeable personality.

IN MEMORIUM

Gedye Lattika

1988 - 2007

[*Khundjur x Lamexa by *Mexi]

Lattika was our senior matron and the only daughter of Lamexa [*Mexi x Lambitia by *Ambition] – a truly elegant mare of old world beauty and type, size and substance, plus a soft, gentle temperament with an irreplaceable pedigree.

 In spite of all precautions she was one of the first of our herd to show symptoms of EI infection at just a few days after foaling.  While she did not run a temperature she did manifest the deep wracking cough that this disease causes.  We believe it was this cough and the associated dehydration the virus creates that caused the bowel torsion which necessitated her being euthanized.  We were lucky to find a carer with experience in orphaned foals to take her 6 day old Vox colt to try and save him.  We are so fortunate to have her 2005 pure Polish filly De-Sharvarll Eyelyka by Bittersweet by *Creme Dynasty.

We are told that EI in itself is not a killer virus, but the complications associated with it are!  Our deepest sympathies go to all those who have lost horses due to complications from this unmitigated disaster.

De-Sharvarll Vaneeka

[ Vox x Araluca Angelique by *Destinado ]

We are extremely proud of this win by one of our very special Vox daughters.   Vaneeka is from his initial foal crop and the first of his progeny to be shown.  To be awarded Supreme Champion against the seasoned senior horses was so exciting. This achievement qualified her for the 2008 Australian Arabian National Championships.  She fulfilled all our expectations and more.  We are confident that this tall, incredibly balanced and elegantly beautiful filly has a great future ahead of her.
