Bint Alyssa

Bint Alyssa (Thee Rebel x Ansata Alyssa)

While searching for information on both *Ansata El Wazir and *Darrag, I stumbled upon Bint Alyssa, a 1999 grey mare and a daughter of Thee Rebel, a Thee Desperado son, out of Ansata Alyssa, by Ansata Halim Shah and out of Ansata Raqessa (*Ansata Ibn Halima  x Ansata Regina). She is Dahmah by strain, tracing through the Bint Sabah (Kazmeen x Sabah) family to El Dahma in her tail female line. Her dam carries 4 lines to *Ansata Bint Bukra (Nazeer x Bukra). She is also line bred to *Ansata Ibn Halima, who appears closer up in the pedigree than *Ansata Bint Bukra does and therefore, his percentage of influence is almost 40%! Bint Alyssa was bred by John and Melinda Bacot of Mariah Arabians in Arizona, USA. The most interesting thing about Bint Alyssa? Her dam, Ansata Alyssa. Not only is she the dam of Bint Alyssa, she is also the dam of Thee Rebel! Three-quarters of the pedigree is dominated by the genetic influence of this mare! The other thing that caught my attention is *Ansata El Wazir, the maternal great-great grandsire of Thee Rebel, as well as the maternal great-grandsire of Ansata Alyssa. I also found it interesting that the 1934 stallion, Nazeer, as far back as we find him in the pedigree, still contributes approximately 34% genetic influence, despite the presence of horses like *Ansata El Wazir and Asmarr (*Zaghloul x Nagliah), who do not carry any lines to Nazeer in their genetic heritage. How is Bint Alyssa represented in the present day? In the sources that I have available to me, Bint Alyssa was bred to the Al Lahab son, Uranos, out of a Thee Desperado granddaughter named Usurei. In fact, the pedigree of this stallion is super concentrated in the blood of The Minstril (Ruminaja Ali x *Bahila), twice through Thee Desperado, as well as twice through Belle Staar. However, what is super interesting in this stallion's pedigree is Kasr El Nil, a maternal great great grandsire of Uranos, who happens to be a *Tuhotmos son! This line complements the two lines present in *Ansata El Wazir as well as the multiple lines to Moniet el Nefous through horses like *Morafic, *Ansata Bint Mabrouka, Mouna and *Ibn Moniet el Nefous. Bint Alyssa produced a daughter, LF Uriyah, by Uranos, in 2014, bred by La Fame Arabians in Germany.
