Jasir

Jasir was bred by Prince Mohamed Aly Tewfik and exported to Germany in 1925, where he became an important sire for Weil-Marbach, siring approximately 40 get. His daughter, Jatta, out of the Weil mare, Soldateska (Souakim x Sylphide I) was bred to the stallion Halef multiple times, producing the full sisters: Hathor, Haita, Hajar and brothers-Hussein and Hassan. Halef was a son of the mare *Kasztelanka (Koheilan I x Bialgrodka), whom Henry Babson imported from Poland in 1938 and eventually bred to *Fadl, producing the stallion, Fadheilan. The Halef-sired get out of Jatta and Fadheilan share common ground through their ancestral elements, for example, the Polish mare *Kasztelanka, crossed with the Egyptian horses from Prince Mohamed Aly Tewfik's breeding program.  Jasir is by Mabrouk Manial, an influential sire in straight Egyptian breeding, while his dam is Negma,the granddam of *Fadl, the sire of Fadheilan. Jasir established common ground in Germany with the breeding programs in the United States utilizing the bloodlines of horses like Fadjur and Khemosabi, while also offering German breeders an alternative source of Prince Mohamed Aly Tewfik breeding, as compared to the sources available in American programs through Babson Egyptian breeding and the older Egyptian programs founded upon the *Nasr sire line like for example, his son Sirecho and the combination of the blood of *Zarife and *Roda, made available through a popular sire like Howard Marks' Hallany Mistanny. Sometimes, it takes horses like Jasir to prove to cloistered Arabian horse breeders that we are more similar, than we are different.
