Asal Sirabba (Sirecho x Habba) |
Asal Sirabba, a 1958 grey mare bred by Mrs. John E. Ott, was sired by
Sirecho and out of the Babson mare, Habba. By virtue of her pedigree,
she is representative of the type of horse that defined the breeding
program of Prince Mohamed Aly Tewfik (Nasr, Fadl & Mabrouk Manial).
When combined with the other horses in the pedigree bred by Abbas Pasha
Hilmi II, Ahmed Bey El Sennari, Prince Ahmed Kamal, the percentage of
native Egyptian blood reaches almost 98%! Which means that the
percentage of Blunt desert breeding was very low in this mare, about
2%. Think outcross power. The only Blunt desert-bred horse appearing in the pedigree is
Kazmeen, the sire of Bint Sabah.
Asal Sirabba produced four daughters: one daughter sired by *Ibn Moniet el Nefous named AK Nadira (1976) and the other 3 daughters sired by *Ansata Ibn Halima: Silima (1966), Raalima (1967) and Siralima (1971):

- Raalima was a prolific mare for Bentwood Farm, producing daughters by the stallions, *Ibn Moniet El Nefous, TheEgyptianPrince and Shaikh Al Badi. Among those daughters are AK Shahlima, Bint Raalima, Ak Tarifa, AK Zayaadah, Thamin Amira, Latifa Raqqasa and Our Kibriya.
- Silima, when bred to Hadbah, produced the stallion Anchor Hill Halim, who went to Germany and became a successful sire, having produced daughters like Mona I, Moregha, *HS Mayeda amd *Moshana.
- Siralima was bred primarily to *Ibn Moniet El Nefous and produced AK Monalima, AK Jamila, AK Il Malika and AK Latifa, who was sold with her Imperial Al Kamar filly (Imperial Kalatifa) to Ariela Arabians in Israel. AK Latifa produced four foals for Ariela, who matured to become Israeli National Champion horses!
Imperial
Kalatifa, by Imperial Al Kamar, when bred to Imperial Imdal, produced the
multi-champion halter mare, Loubna. This wonderful World Champion Mare has earned more
prizes, in more countries, as proof of her outstanding beauty. She is now owned by Sheikh
Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi of Ajman Stud.
