Calypta (Varallo x Rapello HT), our first pure bred Arabian mare, was acquired in 1987 at the European championships in Ostend and became the foundation mare of 4 generations. Over the years we started focussing more on straight Egyptian bloodlines and several new foundation mares were purchased like Salome XI (Madkour I x Suhair by Mehanna), Schabaka (Sefir x Salome by Madkour I), Mouna Bint Amarid (GR Amarid x Mouhannas Zera by Maysoun) and Sabiyah El Bukra (Halim El Naarah x Samiha Samantha by Ansata el Salaam).
