*Tuhotmos Revisited

The straight Egyptian stallion, El Mon Moniet, was a *Tuhotmos son out of a *Tuhotmos daughter. What I found the most fascinating about this particular horse is the intensification of the *Tuhotmos influence, not only expressed genetically but also, phenotypically. He really looked like *Tuhotmos! The sire of *Tuhotmos, El Sareei, was a paternal sibling of  Moniet el Nefous, as both horses were sired by Shahloul (Ibn Rabdan x Bint Radia). So, the only horses in *Tuhotmos' pedigree (who are different) are the dams - the Kazmeen daughter Zareefa and the Sheikh el Arab daughter Wanisa. You have to wonder whether there is any difference at all when you consider that Sheikh el Arab was a son of the Kazmeen daughter, Bint Sabah. The tail female line of  El Mon Moniet traces back to the mare Farida, through the mare *Ein. Consider that *Ein, the dam of Amira Moniet was sired by Anter, a Hamdan son. Hamdan and Shahloul were full brothers! Also, Nazeer, the sire of Abla, was out of Bint Samiha, a Kazmeen daughter. No longer alive, El Mon Moniet was more of a "thinking man's horse", not for everyone but when used correctly, offered a concentrated genetic source of the most revered horses, representing the very core of the EAO breeding program.
