*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.
