Written in Her, Carried Forward Some pedigrees are best appreciated not simply by the names they contain, but by the generations of character and distinction they bring together. EKS Naderina is one such mare. Born in 2015, she carries a distinguished heritage through her sire, Nader Al Jamal (Ansata Sinan × Savannah CC by Thee Desperado), whose lineage brings together some of the most recognisable influences in Arabian breeding. On her maternal side, she descends from EKS Lathina, a daughter of WN Star of Antigua, with her ancestry tracing further to KAR Hadi (El Perfecto × Gual Hassika by Pepete). It is a pedigree rich in celebrated bloodlines, each contributing another chapter to the story of a mare whose place in our breeding program we hold in great esteem. Now, that story has taken on a new expression. In 2026, EKS Naderina presented us with her beautiful first Al Jood Stud bred daughter, Nawal Al Jood, sired by AJ Kafu. A young filly who represents more than a new arrival; she is the meeting of two carefully chosen pedigrees and the first opportunity to see a new generation take shape through Naderina. For us, there is something particularly meaningful in witnessing a mare’s own heritage begin to find expression in her offspring. The qualities we admire in her become part of a story that is still unfolding. We look forward to watching Nawal grow into her own individuality, carrying forward a maternal line that we are proud to be part of.

The Next Chapter, Carried Within There is a different kind of promise in the way a mare moves when the future is already taking shape within her. Almiya Al Shaqab, our beautiful Straight Egyptian mare, enters a new chapter this season as she awaits her very first foal for Al Jood Stud in Qatar. Almiya carries a lineage woven through some of the most treasured names in Straight Egyptian breeding. Her sire, Farhoud Al Shaqab, descends from the immortal Al Adeed Al Shaqab, whose influence remains deeply etched in the story of Qatar’s Arabian horse. Her dam, Johara Al Shaqab, brings together Imperial Mahzeer and Sahaba, a daughter of Adeeb. Further back, her maternal heritage reaches Bint Maggie Mae, daughter of the legendary Thee Desperado and Miss Maggie Mae, with the distinguished families of Bint Magidaa, Khofo and Magidaa woven into her ancestry. It is a heritage shaped across generations, where celebrated bloodlines meet in a mare now poised to pass that inheritance forward. Her own journey has already brought distinction, including Silver Champion Junior Filly at the 2024 Al Rayyan Peninsula Show. Yet there are milestones that cannot be measured in medals. This season, hers will be the quiet anticipation of a first foal, the beginning of a new branch of her own story, where the generations behind her become part of those still to come. As she moves beneath the trees, carrying herself with the grace that first drew us to her, we look forward to meeting the next generation she will bring into the world. Almiya Al Shaqab. An inheritance, becoming a beginning. Proudly owned by Al Jood Stud, Qatar.

The Shape of Possibility There are moments when the future seems almost close enough to touch. In the light, in the lines of a mare, in the particular way she carries herself, we are reminded that the possibilities we spoke of yesterday are already taking shape before us. Abha Dawahr, born in 2018, brings together the influence of ZT Magnofantasy and Gual Alba, with her roots reaching back to the distinguished breeding of Ses Planes in Mallorca and the enduring Abha line within her maternal family. Each generation has contributed something of its own. A quality preserved, a characteristic refined, a thread carried forward without ever making the next chapter entirely predictable. And so, as we look at Abha Dawahr, our thoughts return to the possibilities that lie ahead. One day, her own foal will stand beside her. A new individual, carrying familiar names within its ancestry, yet expressing them in a way that belongs to no horse before it. We cannot know what that first expression will be. The shape of the head, the carriage of the tail, the character that emerges as the foal begins to discover the world. But we know where its story will begin. And for now, that is enough to make the anticipation all the more beautiful. Abha Dawahr. A future still unwritten, with generations behind it.

Nawal Al Jood | A Line of Her Own There is a moment when curiosity begins to take shape. A young filly starts to look beyond the familiar, taking in the world with an alertness that hints at the individuality still unfolding within her. Nawal Al Jood, our 2026 filly by International Champion AJ Kafu out of EKS Naderina, is beginning to show us more of herself with each passing day. Her pedigree brings together distinguished Arabian bloodlines, from Shanghai EA and AJ Kahayla to QR Marc and Kwestura on her sire’s side, and Nader Al Jamal, Savannah C, EKS Lathina and Kar Hadi through her dam. Yet Nawal carries something more personal within our program. As the first daughter we have bred from EKS Naderina, she represents a new generation from a mare whose influence we are only beginning to explore. She also shares her maternal line with our beloved EKS Naadirah, connecting two future mares through the same family while leaving each her own path to follow. For now, Nawal meets the world on her own terms: attentive, curious, and entirely at the beginning of her journey. Her ancestry tells us where she comes from. The filly herself will tell us, in time, who she is becoming.

THE WORLD, STILL ENTIRELY NEW At just one week old, the world is still an unfamiliar place, full of new scents, new discoveries, and things yet to be understood. For now, there are no titles to live up to, no expectations to meet, and no reputation to uphold. Only the instinct to explore, the curiosity of youth, and a future that has yet to reveal its shape. Yet, behind this little filly stands an ancestry that invites admiration. Born in 2026, she is sired by EKS Alihandro, World Champion, whose distinguished lineage brings together two influential Arabian families. His sire, Marwan Al Shaqab, is by Gazal Al Shaqab out of Little Liza Fame, by Fame VF+. His dam, OFW Psylhouette, is by Padrons Psyche out of Hafati Julianna, by RSD Dark Victory. A pedigree rich in celebrated names, each contributing to the heritage carried by this young filly. And on her dam’s side, there is a milestone equally close to home. Venetzia Al Jood, proudly bred by Al Jood Stud, welcomes her second foal and her first daughter. By Versace out of Elstrella Meia Lua, she represents a distinguished branch of our own breeding programme. After giving us Razeen Al Jood in 2025, her son by Fa El Rasheem, Venetzia now introduces a daughter, another expression of her maternal influence, with possibilities that time alone will reveal. There is something compelling about this meeting of generations: the renowned ancestry behind her, the mare who has brought her into the world, and the individuality that will gradually emerge as she grows. For now, she needs no grand introduction. She is simply a week-old filly discovering her surroundings, carrying a remarkable pedigree without yet knowing what those names mean. And perhaps that is part of the fascination. We can admire where she comes from, appreciate the thought behind her breeding, and look forward to what she may become, while allowing her the time to become entirely herself.

THE BEAUTY OF WHAT IS STILL UNFOLDING There is something captivating about a young horse who has not yet learned to hide his curiosity. A lifted head. An attentive eye. A moment of stillness, with the world just beyond his reach. In Harib Al Jood, even the simplest expression seems to hold a question, a spark of character beginning to find its shape. As he grows, there will be much to discover in him. The influence of distinguished ancestors, the promise of his breeding, and the qualities that may one day set him apart. Yet, for now, it is these little glimpses of the horse himself that make watching his journey so rewarding. Born in 2025, Harib carries the blood of Harbi Al Adwan, the 2021 Bronze World Champion Senior Stallion, and Sultanat Al Shaqab, the 2015 Silver World Champion Yearling Filly. Through his sire, he traces to Asfoor Al Waab and Wadha Al Adwan; through his dam, he brings together the renowned lines of Marwan Al Shaqab and OFW Mishaahl, with close family ties to World Champions Kahil Al Shaqab and Wadee Al Shaqab. An exceptional heritage gives a young horse a remarkable place to begin. What follows is his own story, written gradually in his expression, his presence, and the character that time will reveal. And so we watch Harib, not simply for what he may become, but for the pleasure of seeing him grow into it. Harib Al Jood. A young spirit, with his own story still ahead.
