Mother-to-Mother: A Story

Mahfouza (Hamdan x El Mahrousa)
Mahfouza was a 1943 bay mare, bred by the Inshass Stud. Mahfouza's sire was Hamdan (Ibn Rabdan x Bint Radia) and her dam was El Mahrousa (El Zafir x El Shahbaa), a 1937 mare bred by the Inshass Stud. El Mahrousa's dam, El Shahbaa, foaled in 1925, was a foundation mare for the Inshass Stud. An Abeyyan strain mare, sired by a Hamdani stallion, she was purchased by King Fouad in 1931. 

Maysa (Anter x Mahfouza)

When Mahfouza was bred to Anter, she produced the mare Maysa,

*Magidaa (Alaa El Din x Maysa)

Maysa, when bred to Alaa el Din, produced the 1964 chestnut mare *Magidaa.

Bint Magidaa (*Khofo++ x *Magidaa)

Bint Magidaa was *Magidaa's 1970 grey daughter by *Khofo++ and became one of the most legendary and prolific of all straight Egyptian broodmares through her sons, i.e. Ruminaja Ali, furthering the influence of the chain of mares starting with El Shahbaa, El Mahrousa, Mahfouza,  Maysa, and *Magidaa, all over the world.
