FACTS Asfour left Germany as a weanling and conquered Australia. He did that perfectly right: His sons and daughters are national and international show winners. A successful stallion has to prove himself through his get. Asfour has more than met that challenge! Through the class of his offspring he made his Australian home - the "Simeon Stud" of Marion Richmond and her parents, Ruth and Peter Simon - world-famous. Many of his sons and daughters were exported to foreign countries - to Egypt, Germany, Great Britain and the Middle East. His best-known sons to date are the full-brothers Simeon Stav and Simeon Sadik, the latter is known as the "black pearl" from Australia! PEDIGREE Is there anything to say about Asfours pedigree? Obviously, the names speak for themselves. His sire Malik (Hadban Enzahi x Malikah by Ghazal), though small in size, was one of the "giants" of Egyptian bloodlines in Europe. His get is known for extreme type and excellent movements. The roster of his winning get include the international champions Milak "AA", Ibn Zareefa and Zahda-Yama (to name but a few). Not to mention his champion producing son Ibn Estasha! Asfours dam was the undisputed "Egyptian Queen of Europe", the legendary Hanan (Alaa El Din x Mona, Inshass). Click
here to see his pedigee! Asfours owner, Marion Richmond, really loves this stallion. Never ever would she consider to part with him. However, his get occasionally are for sale. But Asfour - never! A wise decision - because he sired some of Simeon Studs most spectacular horses. Think of his lovely daughters Simeon Salome, Simeon Sukari or Simeon Shiraz. Reasons enough to love Asfour... |
