A million thanks to Arabian Essence TV for making this video footage from the ECAHO class A show that is being held in Menton this weekend available (and so quickly) of class 9, stallions 4-to-7 years old. Naseem Al Rashediah, entry number 154, is a 2014 grey stallion, bred by Mr. Rashid A. Rahman Al Jasmi of Al Rashediah Stud in Bahrain. A son of the late Al Adeed Al Shaqab (Ansata Halim Shah x Sundar Alisayyah); Naseem Al Rashediah is out of Nabaweyah Ezzain (Ansata AlMurtajiz x NK Nakeebya), a bay mare bred by the late Mr. Usamah Alkazemi of Ezzain Arabians in Kuwait. Naseem Al Rashediah placed third in the class, behind entry number 150, the 2016 grey stallion, Saif Albidayer (Excalibur EA x Nesj El Markhisa) who won the class with 93.08 points and entry number 152, the 2015 grey stallion, D Seraj (Fa El Rasheen x Ladi Veronika), who placed second, also earning 93.08 points. Saif Albidayer edged out D Seraj on type, as he received four 20s, compared to the three 20s earned by D Seraj. It is extraordinary (as well as very interesting) that the sire of Saif Albidayer, Excalibur EA (Shanghai EA x Essence of Marwan EA), entry number 160, placed first in class 10, the 8+ year old stallion class. I don't envy the job that the judges have upon their hands today. In the midst of so many beautiful horses, any of which can be named champion, who to choose?
***BREAKING NEWS****

Congratulations to the owners, breeders, trainers and all who love these horses.
