ATIUS O

At first glance, you may believe that Atius O is only half Egyptian, as his sire, Shahim Al Nakeeb is of 100% Egyptian blood. However, his dam, Atia oOne (Johann El Jamaal x Fhelka Serondella), carries many Egyptian lines in her pedigree, particularly, a concentrated influence of Ruminaja Ali, through his son, Ali Jamaal. How prevalent is the presence of Ruminaja Ali? Atius O is approximately 75% Egyptian and of the 25% Egyptian blood that comes from his dam, Ruminaja Ali represents 14%! I think his phenotype conveys what his paperwork confirms, regarding the genetic influence of Ruminaja Ali.

Earlier in June, I published a blog on the *Ansata Ibn Halima daughter, AK Fanniya. Her 1983 daughter, AK Shahniya, by AK Shah Moniet,  produced a  daughter named Shameerah, by MFA Mareekh Amir. When bred to NK Hafid Jamil, Shameerah produced a son named Shahim Al Nakeeb, the sire of Atius O. Here, in this real, live, present day show horse, is how a mare like AK Fanniya remains relevant in today's breeding culture, as she is a paternal great-great grandam of Atius O!
