There is something quietly compelling about a mare whose story leaves room for questions. What might she contribute? What might another generation reveal? And which possibilities have not yet been explored? Theia Al Jood, a 2021 grey mare, is an intriguing place to begin. Her sire, the Straight Egyptian Kayaan Al Waab, is by Sinan Al Rayyan and out of Bahriya Al Waab by Ashhal Al Rayyan. On her dam’s side comes Luminesa, by Lumiar Amadeus and out of WA Marlaina Lee by Bey Shah. It is an ancestry that brings together distinct strands rather than following a single familiar thread, and perhaps that is where its interest lies. For the discerning breeder, sometimes the most interesting opportunities are not the ones that arrive with everything already decided, but those that leave something to discover. Theia Al Jood, is available as a special opportunity from Al Jood Stud. Those interested are welcome to contact us privately for further information (+974 3066 1116).

Some moments in a breeding program feel quietly significant. For Hadiyah Al Jood, this was one of them. The 2022 born Straight Egyptian mare, home-bred by Al Jood Stud, has welcomed her first foal this year, an exciting colt sired by Naseem Al Rashediah. From Qaysar Al Jood and Alixir through Rhapsody in Black (Thee Desperado x Aliashahm Ra by Ruminaja Ali), and from her dam Hadiya Al Shahania, descending from Al Adeed Al Shaqab and Johara Al Naif (Ansata Shalim x Al Johara by Prince Fa Moniet), Hadiyah carries a pedigree shaped by some of the most treasured lines within the Straight Egyptian Arabian. Now, that heritage has taken on a new form. Her first colt is more than the next generation on paper. He is the first chapter of Hadiyah’s own story as a mother, and a glimpse of what her place within the Al Jood breeding program may become. A new life has stepped through the gate. And this time, Hadiyah is the one who opened it.

Warda, in profile. There are photographs where a young horse simply looks beautiful. And then there are those where you find yourself studying the details. The shape of the eye. The length of the neck. The softness of the expression. The unmistakable look of a filly who is beginning to show us who she is. Warda Al Jood, born 2026, is the second daughter of our beloved Włodawa. Warda’s sire, International Champion AJ Kafu, is by Shanghai EA and out of AJ Kahayla, by QR Marc (Marwan Al Shaqab × Swete Dreams) and the legendary Polish mare Kwestura (Monogramm × Kwesta). On her maternal side, Warda returns to the Polish foundation carried by Włodawa, Pomian × Pilar by Fawor, with the further influence of Ekstern, Alegro, Banat and distinguished Polish families woven through her pedigree. Her sister Walha Al Jood, born in 2023 by Shanghai EA, gave us our first glimpse of what Włodawa could produce with this exceptional sire line. Now Warda offers another interpretation. The same maternal foundation. Shanghai EA appearing again, this time through his son AJ Kafu. And a face that already feels distinctly her own. Perhaps that is what makes a pedigree truly interesting, not simply recognising the names within it, but watching them become visible in a living horse. Warda Al Jood. Still growing. Already making an impression.

WHERE HORSES BECOME THEMSELVES There is another side to a young horse that no pedigree can describe. It is found beyond the show ring, away from the expectations and the measured gaze, in the simple freedom of a pasture. Here, Harib Al Jood is simply a young horse, moving through the grass, exploring his surroundings, finding his balance and gradually revealing the character that will one day define him. Yet even in these unguarded moments, his origins remain unmistakable. Born in 2025, Harib is sired by Harbi Al Adwan, the 2021 Bronze World Champion Senior Stallion, tracing through Asfoor Al Waab (Barraq El Alya × Sara Aljazira by Adnan) and Wadha Al Adwan (Fayad Al Fayyad × Platinum Psylouette by EA Echstravagant). His dam, Sultanat Al Shaqab, the 2015 Silver World Champion Yearling Filly, is a full sister to Platinum World Champion Kahil Al Shaqab and World Champion Wadee Al Shaqab, bringing together the blood of Marwan Al Shaqab (Gazal Al Shaqab × Little Liza Fame by Fame VF) and OFW Mishaahl (Mishaah × OFW Balarina by RSD Dark Victory). A pedigree tells us where a horse begins. But it is in moments like these, in growth, in movement, in temperament, in the quiet discovery of his own way of going, that a young horse begins to tell us who he is. Harib Al Jood is still becoming. And perhaps that is the most fascinating part.

What Begins to Reveal Itself With time, the more interesting questions begin to change. Not, what should she become? But, what is already there, waiting to be noticed? EKS Naadirah, born in 2023, continues to offer those quieter answers. By Barjass Al Zobair (SMA Magic One x FM Gloriaa) and out of EKS Naderina (Nader Al Jamal x EKS Lathina), she carries a pedigree of considerable distinction, yet it is in her own expression that its influence begins to take on a more personal character. There is a particular pleasure in watching a young mare find her balance between inheritance and individuality. The carriage becomes more assured. The poll rises with greater ease. The frame begins to settle into itself, while expression, eye and attitude acquire a character that cannot be borrowed from a pedigree page. For breeders, these are often the most compelling observations: the nuances between the obvious points. A certain lightness through the shoulder. A naturally elevated carriage. The way a horse inhabits space without needing to announce itself. Naadirah is still writing her own definition. And perhaps that is the privilege of breeding, not knowing every answer in advance, but having the patience to recognise one when it begins to appear.

The First Impression Some details speak without explanation. The set of an ear. The stillness before movement. The way a young stallion meets the eye. Majd Al Jood is entering an intriguing stage of his development, where youthful promise is becoming something more defined, his own character, expression and way of carrying the Arabian silhouette. Born in 2022 by AJ Mardan, tracing to Vervaldee (Versace × Giavanna by NV Beau Bey), and out of Felicia RLC (Shael Dream Desert × Camelia K by Donatello K), Majd’s pedigree gains further distinction through our treasured Elle Marin, by Ajman Moniscione and out of Allamara MA, a full sister to the internationally celebrated Elle Flamenca. His early show career gave the first glimpse of what he carried, with Unanimous Gold Champion Yearling Colt – Sopot, Poland, and Silver Champion Yearling Colt – Vesuvio Trophy, Italy, both in 2023. Now comes a different kind of milestone. Majd’s first foals are on their way. Two Al Jood Stud mares are carrying his first offspring, and soon we will have the opportunity to see his qualities expressed through a new generation. For those who follow Arabian breeding closely, this is a chapter worth watching. Majd Al Jood. Still young. Already distinctive. And now, beginning to speak through his offspring.
