Paradise City Roh Extended Pedigree

Paradise City Roh

Shaikh Al Badi: [R] A *Morafic [R] son; a multi-class A halter champion as well as U.S. National Futurity Reserve Champion and a leading sire of champion horses.

*Morafic: [R] A Nazeer [R] son, Morafic was imported to Gleannloch Farms in 1965 as a nine-year-old. Prior to that, he was a source of national pride in Egypt, leaving behind 56 get at the time of his exportation, eleven of whom would also later be exported to the U.S. He went on to become one of the most influential sires in Arabian history, and certainly the most influential sire at Gleannloch, siring numerous National Champions and stamping future generations with his refined head and dark eyes via get who became influential sires in their own right, including The Egyptian Prince [R].

Moniet El Nefous: [R] Often referred to as the “Queen” of Egyptian Arabian broodmares, this flaxen chestnut mare bred by the Royal Agricultural Society in Egypt was pure-in-strain Saklawi Jedran and produced thirteen influential foals in her lifetime, including Bint Moniet El Nefous [R] and *Tuhotmos [R], the number one sire of the Egyptian Agricultural Organization’s breeding program until his exportation in 1973, after which he sired National Champion horses in Dressage and Trail as well as halter.

Tammen: [R] The great chestnut stallion owned by Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi; 2002 and 2005 Egyptian Event Leading Halter and Performance Sire; 2004 and 2006 Leading Performance Sire. A producer of fantastic get, especially mares (Tammen produced only 23 sons out of a foal crop of 86, one of which was Kuhaylan Roh), we chose Tammen as a model and source for our breeding program at Blue Jackal Arabians in 2010, and continue those lines now here at Silk Road Arabians, not because of the celebrity status of his owner, but because of how Patrick Swayze used that status to further the educational programs of the Arabian Horse Association, and most especially their programs for Youths. After all, the entire purpose of including real horses in model horse pedigrees is to educate: to ignite an undying interest in the real horses and the real breeds.

Abenhetep: [R] Appearing no less than five times in this pedigree, Abenhetep [R] was a regional halter winner and sire of other regional winners in halter and performance, as well as a paternal brother to National Champions in western pleasure and to National winners in English pleasure and at halter.

*Omnia: [R] Bred by the Egyptian Agricultural Organization, she was imported to the U.S. in 1968 by Douglas B. Marshall of Gleannloch Farms, Texas, and became one of their most influential Foundation Mares. Pure-in-the-tail-line Kuheilan, she was an Alaa El Din [R] daughter and a Nazeer [R] granddaughter.

He was also the sire of several race-winners. He went on to also sire *Faleh [R], a Legion of Merit winner, as well as two-time National Champion in Native Costume who also competed in a 100-mile endurance race. Yet, like Tammen [R], perhaps Alaa El Din’s [R] greatest contributions to the Arabian world were his daughters, who have been described by the famous German Arabian Breeder, Dr. Nagel as “the most beautiful flowers of Egyptian Arabian horse breeding.”
