Azhaar Ezzain

If I were given the choice to pick only one mare at Ezzain, I would pick Azhaar, one of the most extraordinary mares in Kuwait. Through her progeny, like the unbelievably gorgeous Shamsilshmous Ezzain (by NK Qaswarah), she has established a beautiful family of horses, to become an influential broodmare within the Ezzain breeding program. To me, Azhaar is a textbook example of the classic Arabian mare, a living standard of femininity and grace. Azhaar’s sire, Ansata AlMurtajiz, is one of the more significant horses to be produced by Ansata, post Prince Fa Moniet. "Murtajiz" is by Ansata Hejazi and out of the premier Ansata broodmare, Ansata Samsara, a pedigree which is concentrated in the blood of *Ansata Ibn Halima, Bukra, and Moniet el  Nefous.  Zahra, Azhaar’s dam, is by KP Nameed and out of Assal, genetically complementing Ansata AlMurtajiz, as she too, carries multiple lines to Moniet el Nefous through *Tuhotmos, the sire of Nana, who produced Nameeza, the dam of KP Nameed, also through Shaarawi, the sire of Adeeb and finally through Ameer, the sire of Ibn Nazeema, who brings in an additional line to Alaa El Din (complementing the line of Hanan, who produced Ameera). Additional sources of outcross blood come through Messaouda, the dam of Motassem, who was sired by the horse who revolutionized the Marbach breeding program, Gharib. *Ansata Ibn Halima is common ground on both sides of the pedigree, as his son,  Ansata Halim Shah appears twice: through his sons, Motassem and Ansata Hejazi. Also, the Nazeer sons, Hadban Enzahi and Ghazal are present in Madkour I, with an interesting twist, which further complements Azhaar's pedigree. Hadban Enzahi sired the stallion Madkour I (the sire of Ameera), while Ghazal sired Madkour's dam, Moheba II, out of Malacha, who traces to the dam of *Ansata Ibn Halima, through the Sid Abouhom daughter, Moheba.
