HI All

We have a new addition at our stud, a striking colt by Asfour and from Wed Albadeia, his name is Simeon Sohar.

I was hoping Mr Nasr Marei if he dont mind would be able to post some pics of Wed as a foal, I have seen her lately and she is just an amazing mare. or if you could email them to me privately if you have nay and dont mind

Thanks and attached is photo of Sohar taken just prior to him arriving.

All the best

Greg Egan

Dear Greg,

CONGRATULATIONS for your wonderful colt, as you probably have noticed in this forum
I am a GREAT fan of Nasr's horses and so my opinion should not be objective...to me when an Arabian Horse has, in a way or another, some ALBADEIA blood, there is a touch of class that makes the difference....this combination with the wonderful ASFOUR is particularly good and the results are so evident looking at your beautiful Simeon Sohar. So, once more my best wishes to him and congratulations to you and your stud farm and if you have other photos, please share them with us

Paola I totally agree with you I have a colt by Nabeel II (Maysoun x AK Bint Nabilahh)and Bint Salamat Albadeia, and though his grandmother is Albadeia but there is just a trait that is very prominent and beautiful that Albadeia horses contribute, and definitely very noticeable. I don't know what it is exactly but it is evident especially with top level horses, and this shows in Simeon Sohar. A lovely colt congratulations Greg.

All the Best,
Dina

Hi Greg! Boy oh boy, what a nice looking colt! Congratulations!! This is awesome and remembering the other horses you have, you are really building quite a formidable stud!!!
THAT is great and I look forward to seeing and reading about all your results!!!

Hi Greg
this is a beautiful photo of a beautiful filly, now the dam of your colt. I expected no less from Albadeia anyway.

Lots of luck with the new edition.

Hansi

Having seen both parents, I'm not surprised that he has turned out to be so good. Congratulations !!

Dear Greg,
Simeon Sohar looks great. I had seen photos for him when he was younger and Marion and I were quite excited about him. He sure grew up to our expectations.
I am thrilled that you think highly of him as well and I hope that he will be a stallion that will give you the foals of your dream and reward you for chosing him.
Attached are two photos taken for Wed when she was stll with her Mother. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos when she was older. These photos were taken by Gabrielle Boiselle.
Thanks for your post.

Nasr

Dear Ralph, Paola, Dina , Hansi and Liz,
As always you are gracious and kind with your words regarding Albadeia horses. I do thank you for taking the time and posting your comments.
By the way Hansi , the new Albadeia Stud Book is out and looks great . Your copy will be sent to you this week.

Thanks again.

Nasr
P.S. Will a get to see you Hansi, Ralph and Liz in the EE in Lexington?

Here is the second shot !!
Nasr

Gosh Nasr, I have not heard from you in a very long time! Too long, I think! So, it is very nice to "discover" this message, along with the lovely photos of Wed Albadeia. As with all the pictures that you post, they succeed in taking my breath away. She is a lovely mare and I like her very noticeable wither in the first photo and her big chest in the second. My kind of horse.

To be able to shake your hand, talk and laugh with you would be a dream, however, my son graduates from 8th grade in June and I think, although I am not sure at the moment that the graduation date conflicts with the EE. If it doesn't, I will make every effort to be there, even if for a day.

Good to hear from you again and it will be better to talk with you.

Ralph

Hi Nasr
You are welcome. I cant wait for your studbook. thanks so much.

I will try to be at the event, and when not in the arena, probably running arround looking at many horses in the stall area, as I can.
And of course, will be at those endurance races, cant wait to find out who is running and winning.
Last year they had 117 entries I think and in this some 11 SE's I think. I hope that the SE's breeders learned a lesson and that this time the number is reversed.Well, we will see. Hate to continue being a dreamer on that subkect.

Take good care and have a safe trip to here and stay safe overthere,
"the fireant piles" let out, and cant find their way back into the nest, ha!.

Hansi

Hi Guys

Thanks so much for you congratulations about Sohar, he is a gorgeous colt and it is very exciting to have him here with the other boys, it is so lovely when people are happy for you in getting a new colt and looking forward to the future, I certainly am and it will just be awesome when the time comes for him to serve mares and then see the results.

Mr Nasr, thanks so much for the photos of Wed, her mother looks like an amazing mare

Thanks again guys and all the very best from us

Bye for now

Greg Egan

Congratulations on your new colt, Greg, how exciting for you. He has great looks and a superb pedigree so I hope he produces lots of champions for you.

Good luck

Barbara

Sohar is so cute! Congratulations, Greg!!!
Does anyone know if Marion Richmond intends to show Wed Albadeia?
Has she produced any other foals in Australia?
Thanks,
Kaely

PS Can anyone tell me what is happpening with the Simeon website?

Hi Greg,

Congratulations. He is lovely. I have been luck enough to see Wed Albadeia at Simeon a few times and it is no surprise that your new boy is so beautiful. You are gathering a wonderful collection of fine Arabians.

Warm Regards,

Tim

Nasr, I will be at the Event all week, so I hope we have some time to talk. I always enjoy your company. We leave for Jordan tomorrow, as I'm judging their Nationals, which I'm really looking forward to. We are spending a week afterwards to see the famous sights.

Congratulations Greg! Sohar is gorgeous and I know that you must be excited about the babies to come with your wonderful collection of mares. It is a thrill to bring home such a fabulous horse! Congratulations!

Greg

Congratulations on your new colt Simeon Sohar, you really have some lovely arabians and no doubt S Sohar will grow into one of the most beauitful Asfour stallions in Australia, his breeding certainly is unique.

Good luck with him and cant wait to see the breeding results from your beautiful mares.

Cheers
