AL LAHAB
(Laheeb (by Imperial Imdal) x
The Vision (by Thee Desperado)

1999 Grey Stallion

We are proud to announce the arrival of the exciting straight Egyptian stallion, *Al Lahab, to our farm, Om El Arab International. To us, he is one of the most promising young stallions in the world. He has exquisite type. He has championship conformation. He has elastic, fluid, and airy movement, moving well off his hocks. He has a world-class pedigree.

*Al Lahab was bred by Ariela Arabians in Israel. His sire is Laheeb, who is by Imperial Imdal and out of the *Ibn Moniet El Nefous daughter, AK Latifa. *Al Lahab’s dam is The Vision HG, sired by Thee Desperado and out of The Minstril daughter Belle Star. Besides having today’s popular stallions close-up in his pedigree, the fourth generation of *Al Lahab’s pedigree features a collection of the breed’s legendary straight Egyptians stallions: *Ansata Ibn Halima, Ansata Ibn Sudan, *Morafic, The Egyptian Prince and Ruminaja Ali.

With his ultra type, overall quality and charisma, show ring success came quickly to *Al Lahab. At just a few months of age he was named Champion Foal of Israel. As a yearling *Al Lahab was flown to Europe for the show season. Before long, Inge and Hansjuergen Friedmann, straight Egyptian breeders in Germany, fell under the spell of this extraordinary colt and purchased him for their breeding program.   In his first two seasons of showing in Europe he won the prestigious titles of: World Asil Cup Junior Champion - twice (first as a yearling, then as a two-year-old), European Egyptian Event Junior Champion, and European Junior Champion.

With his personal qualities and world-class pedigree, success came quickly to *Al Lahab as a sire. In 2003, when he was just four years of age, a son of his was named National Junior Champion colt of Germany. Among other champion get, *Al Lahab sired the Junior Champion Mare at an International show in Switzerland and the Reserve Junior Champion filly at the European Egyptian Event. She also won “Most Classic Head” at the show.

We watched *Al Lahab at shows across Europe for two show seasons and also fell under his spell. His ultra type and quality was matched by his equally remarkable kind and willing disposition. We came to realize that this was a stallion that had to grace our breeding program. We are very thankful to the Friedmann Family for entrusting us with their treasure for a couple of years.

*Al Lahab arrived on our farm in August. Even though it is late in the season, we put three mares in foal to him. We are confident that the ultra type our mares will produce with him will reach new extremes.

*Al Lahab means “the flame” in Arabic. We invite you to ignite your imagination with what *Al Lahab may create with your mares. *Al Lahab will stand with us in the U.S. for a very limited time only.

With best wishes,
