Ferlita Arabians, Arabian Breeder in California

*Laheeb

(*Imperial Imdal+   x  *AK Latifaby *Ibn Moniet El Nefous)

Twice Israeli National Senior Champion, European Reserve Junior Champion, Israeli National Junior Champion and World Top Ten Junior Stallion, LAHEEB is the one of the most widely celebrated international Arabian stallions, and the very first straight-Egyptian stallion to be utilized in the Polish breeding program, an honor extended for both his superior phenotype and genotype. As a physical specimen, LAHEEB personifies all that is treasured in the Egyptian Arabian: unsurpassed breed type; dignified presence; an ultra-exotic, perfectly proportioned head; a high set, gracefully arched neck; superb balance and strength of coupling; smooth shoulders and quarters of good length, strength and slope; a well muscled, horizontal topline with a highly placed and proudly carried tail; good three-dimensional substance with plentiful width, depth and muscular development; squarely placed limbs with clean, dense bone and wide sinewy tendons; and a free-moving, animated stride with a distinct aristocratic carriage.

Intensely line-bred to NAZEER through many of his best get, LAHEEB was an obvious choice for Polish breeders because of the unprecedented achievement of the Tersk-bred ASWAN son PALAS, not to mention his daughter PARMA, at all the State Studs. The precious blood of NAZEER has been a key component of Poland's world renowned “Diamond Cross”, in which direct descendants of his line were mated with those tracing directly to SKOWRONEK, specifically the sires NEGATIW, BANDOS, NABOR, EUKALIPTUS and PEPTON. Through LAHEEB, the Polish breeding program now benefits from the influence of the best NAZEER sons – ANSATA IBN HALIMA and MORAFIC – as well as the precious “Pearl of the Nile” - MONIET EL NEFOUS. LAHEEB's great-grandsire is US National Champion ANSATA IBN SUDAN, considered by many to be the best example of the Arabian stallion of his generation. Identical accolades could also apply to LAHEEB's sire, IMPERIAL IMDAL, who gained worldwide fame as both a show horse and sire of the highest possible caliber.

LAHEEB is in all ways his father's son, legendary show horse and sire IMPERIAL IMDAL, a stallion whose influence has raised the worldwide standard of the Arabian horse. He was the ultimate international icon - twice Egyptian Event Supreme Champion, East Coast Champion, US Reserve National Champion and World Champion Stallion – all who had the good fortune to see him on the occasion of any of these wins would agree that he was THE undeniable champion, exemplifying nothing less than the quintessential Arabian stallion. He was a tremendously successful sire with champion get dispersed around the world, including: Egyptian Event Supreme Champions VA SIRIUS, HADAYA EL TAREEF and IMTAARIF; World & Italian National Champion Stallion MOROC; World, All Nations Cup, UK International, Asil Cup and Israeli National Champion Mare LOUBNA; All Nations Cup Reserve Junior Champion Colt AL MARAAM; Middle East Junior Champion, twice European Egyptian Event Champion & World Top Ten Stallion MOSALLI; Israeli National Champion Stallion MAHBUB; Israeli National Champion Mare TANJARAH; and Asil Cup Champion Stallion TAHIR.

LAHEEB has been an unqualified success as an international sire with several outstanding get to his credit winning in the toughest international competition, such as: European, Asil Cup, Egyptian Event Junior Champion, All Nations Cup Reserve Junior Champion & World Top Ten Colt AL LAHAB; Polish National Senior Champion, European Reserve Senior Champion, World Top Ten, All Nations Cup, Poznan International & Polish National Junior Champion Filly/Best in Show EMIRA, Polish National Reserve Junior Champion, Warsaw Summer Show Champion, European & All Nations Cup Top Five Champion POGANIN, Polish Spring Show Junior Champion Filly/Best in Show WIEZA BABEL; Polish National Junior Champion Colt ZLOCIEN; Polish National Reserve Junior Champion Filly SIKLAWA; Poznan International Junior Champion Colt PERSEUSZ; Israeli National Reserve Junior Champion Filly DUMKA; Israeli Spring Show Reserve Junior Champion Colt NOB; Kohelian I Stakes winner PANCERZ, and Polish National Top Five winners GALILEA, EGEA, ESTORIA, EMESA and ARIADNE
