Profile of a World Champion
Khidar is an Ansata Sinan son, out of a mare named Elizja, a Belgian
National Champion Mare bred by Maghreb Arabians. Do you know that Khidar
is 75% Egyptian? Of course, his sire is 100% Egyptian but his dam
Elizja is 50% Egyptian through the stallions Malik (Hadban Enzahi x
Malikah), Shaker El Masri (*Morafic x Zebeda) and Hindi (Korayem x
Hindia). What I found really interesting about Elizja, besides her
Egyptian ancestry is her sire, Esta-Ghalil and dam, Aica. They are paternal
siblings, as they are both sired by Ibn Estasha (Malik x Estasha).
However, both sire and dam are similarly bred, as the maternal lines of
each horse include classic, older Polish lines. For example, to find
Miecznik (Fetysz x Koalicja) in both maternal lines was a very sweet
surprise. The expression of this similarity is expressed magnificently
in the phenotype of this wonderful horse. In the early 2000's, Khidar
was shown in the most significant venues globally, where he earned many
champion titles like Belgian National Champion Stallion, All Nations Cup
Senior Champion Stallion, European Senior Champion Stallion and World
Champion Stallion. Bred across a wide variety of bloodlines, Khidar's
influence continues through sons like Mountassar Al Zobair or a grandson
like Shanghai EA.
