Arabians Ltd has certainly brought some exceptional Arabian horses to the Egyptian Event over the years. Even before the appearance of Thee Desperado, Leading Sire at the Egyptian Event for well over a decade, the famous farm’s roster of show horses read like a “Who’s Who” of Egyptian Arabian well-bred royalty.

This year their show horse line-up is as impressive as ever, and even more global than usual. “It is possibly the most international group of show horses we have ever presented at the Egyptian Event,” says farm manager Shawn Crews. “We have well over two dozen horses being presented at the show and a quarter of them are owned by Arabian breeders in other countries.”

Included in the group of international “stars” are Mia Bella RCA (Bellagio RCA x PrincessMiaMinuet) owned by the El Gamil Stud in Egypt (Mohammed Hammad, Agent). A yearling bay filly, Mia Bella RCA is out of a full sister to Botswana (Thee Desperado), 2009 Egyptian Event Supreme Champion. El Gamil also recently purchased IV Ever Sinan (*Mishaal HP x II Di IV), 2010 Egyptian Event Reserve Junior Champion Stallion, from OGM Arabians, Southlake, TX.

Another well represented Middle Eastern country is Saudi Arabia and owner Osman Linjawi. Linjawi owns Lola SIG (*Mishaal HP x Thee Phoenixx) and Thee Scarlet Rose RCA (*Mishaal HP x Thee Scarlet Lady). Purchased from Eric and Stacey Mlak (with thanks to Mohammed Almatrodi, Agent) Lola SIG will be competing in the Three-Year-Old World Class Filly competition this year. She was Reserve in the two-year-old class in 2010. Thee Scarlet Rose RCA won the Yearling’s in 2010 and is the filly to beat in the Two-Year-Old Futurity at the Event this year. Thee Scarlet Rose RCA and Mia Bella RCA were bred by and purchased from Rock Creek Arabians, breeding farm for Arabians, Ltd.
 
Swiss breeder Nayla Hayek has several horses with Arabians Ltd at the 2011 Egyptian Event. She is showing Gameelah LDA (Thee Desperado x Magidaat Al Gamal LDA), purchased from the mare’s breeders Dan and Louise DeRusseau, Cedar Creek, TX, and HF Imtoxicating (Imtaarif x Kohela). International handler Frank Sponle will show Imtoxicating at the Egyptian Event this year and, following that show, will take the mare on to the Egyptian Event in Europe.

Although the Arabians, Ltd. Egyptian Event show string has a decidedly international flavor this year, the backbone of the exceptional group remains their devoted American clientele. Few farms can boast a closer customer base than Arabians, Ltd. They are well known for their client friendships, customer service, satellite farms and terrific Egyptian Event parties!
