The Legacy, Up Close Seiyaar Al Jood is beginning to give us those moments making us pause and wonder what his pedigree might become. Born from two champions, his story brings together two remarkable branches of modern Arabian breeding. The sire of this 2024 born colt, D Seraj, Gold World Champion and International Champion, carries the extraordinary influence of FA El Rasheem, with the celebrated legacy of Ladi Veronika and, further behind her, the enduring influence of Versace and Nisrs Natevka. On his dam’s side, FM Gloriaa, Bronze World Champion and European Champion, brings the elegance and presence of WH Justice, alongside the ethereal influence of Psity of Angels, daughter of Psytadel and Nathanya JC. It is a pedigree filled with horses who have already left their mark. But standing this close to Seiyaar, the names on the page begin to feel less like history and more like possibility. There is the expression. The balance. The quiet intensity. The unmistakable character that makes you look twice. And perhaps that is what makes breeding so compelling. We can study generations. We can trace champions. We can follow the threads through a pedigree and understand the choices that brought them together. But eventually, all of that history has to become a horse. And here he is. Not yet the finished story. Not a promise that can be measured today. But a young stallion beginning to show us, piece by piece, what those generations may have placed within him. Seiyaar Al Jood. A pedigree written by champions. A future still waiting to reveal itself.

A star may awaken. But eventually, it must find somewhere on earth to cast its light. Perhaps that is what we are seeing in Tala. Standing between the fading gold of the day and the long horizon ahead, she carries something that cannot be measured by a show ring, a photograph, or even a pedigree page. She carries direction. The sire of this remarkable 2023 born mare is the World Champion Excalibur EA. He gathers the influence of Shanghai EA and Essence of Marwan EA by Marwan Al Shaqab. Tala’s dam, Missila Aljassimya, the 2022 ABWC Supreme Gold Champion, contributes the celebrated combination of Valentinus To and the highly celebrated mare RP Miss Surprise by WH Justice. Behind her stand names that have already travelled far. Before her lies everything that has yet to be written. And perhaps that is the most intriguing place for a horse to stand, not at the end of a story, but at its horizon. Because a remarkable pedigree tells us where a horse has come from. It is the horse herself who makes us wonder where it might lead. Proudly owned by Al Jood Stud.

When a Mare Becomes a Beginning A pedigree can tell us where a mare comes from. But sometimes, it is only when she is preparing to become a mother that we begin to wonder what she may carry forward. For Omsia Al Waab, that moment is approaching this coming season. Foaled in 2018, Omsia carries the distinguished influence of Sinan Al Rayyan (Ansata Sinan × Al Wajba Al Rayyan by Safir) on her sire’s side, while her dam, Shahira Al Nasser (Ashhal Al Rayyan × Bint Saida Al Nasser by Imperial Mahzeer, out of Saida), brings another carefully preserved thread of Straight Egyptian ancestry. Her pedigree is not simply a collection of celebrated names. It is the result of generations of thoughtful decisions, influences carefully carried forward, each generation adding something to a story that has been unfolding for decades. Now, as Omsia prepares to welcome her first foal for Al Jood Stud, another possibility begins to take shape. Not a finished chapter. Not an outcome already written. Just the quiet anticipation of what might be. Because a mare’s significance is not only found in the pedigree she carries, but in the potential she has to pass that legacy forward. We cannot yet know what her first foal will bring. We can only prepare, hope, and trust in the generations that came before her. And perhaps that is one of the most beautiful parts of breeding: standing at the edge of a new generation, knowing that the story is about to continue, but not yet knowing exactly how.

The Moment It Opens Some things are not created in a moment. They are revealed in one. Long before a flower breaks through the earth, something has already been happening beneath the surface. Roots have formed. Seasons have passed. What cannot yet be seen is quietly preparing what will eventually appear. Perhaps breeding is much the same. Before Shadya Al Jood ever took her first breath, generations of carefully woven influence were already there. The sire of this beautiful 2025 filly is TM Itaipu, a stallion that carries the heritage of the legendary El Tino, and through his dam Faizah Carol, herself a daughter of the dream-maker Shael Dream Desert and Fanny Carrol (by El Nabila B x Chiara K). Her dam, D Sabaheyyah, brings another remarkable branch of that story, through Fa El Rasheem and D Sahabah, a daughter of the ever-influential WH Justice and KAR Hacina (by El Perfecto x Gual Hassika). Names on a pedigree chart can only tell part of the story. The rest is revealed when those generations finally come together in something entirely new. In 2025, that possibility first opened before our eyes. And before long, others began to notice too, as Shadya has been awarded several Champion show titles throughout Spain and France. But that was only a first glimpse. A young flower does not reveal its full character in the moment it first opens. There is still colour to deepen, form to develop, and beauty yet to unfold. Shadya is still very much at the beginning of her story. The first opening caught our attention. The unfolding is what we will be watching.

A pedigree is more than a collection of names. For a breeder, it is a record of choices, generations, hopes and influences. Waiting for the right individual to bring them together and give them a presence of his own. Meyrath Al Jood is beginning to do exactly that. This 2022 Straight Egyptian stallion is reaching an age where the promise of youth is gradually becoming something more tangible. His refinement is becoming more defined, his presence more assured, and his character increasingly unmistakable. Sired by the legendary Sinan Al Rayyan, an exceptional son of Ansata Sinan, and tracing to the beautiful influence of Ansata Sharifa, Meyrath carries a distinguished paternal heritage. His dam, our homebred Maraam Al Jood, adds a deeply cherished chapter to his pedigree — weaving together the influence of Marajh KA, Alixir through the beautiful RSL Faith, and Thee Desperado through the exotic black mare Rhapsody in Black. These names tell us where Meyrath comes from. But standing before him, they begin to tell us something more. We see the pedigree translated into expression. Into balance. Into carriage. Into presence. Into that unmistakable quality that cannot be read from a page, but must be experienced in the horse himself. This is perhaps one of the greatest rewards of breeding: watching generations of influence gradually cease to be names in a pedigree and become something living, individual and unmistakably their own. Meyrath is not simply carrying his pedigree forward. He is beginning to give it a presence. And as he continues to mature, we look forward to seeing even more of his inheritance come to life.
