Imperial Imdal+ is one of the more important horses in her pedigree. He represents almost 40% of the pedigree, as he is the sire of Laheeb, Al Maraam and Luiba. Ansata Imperial (Ansata Ibn Sudan x Ansata Delilah), the sire of Imperial Imdal+ is also the sire of Imperial-Alamonra, increasing his influence to almost the equivalent percentage that a grandsire would contribute. We can say something similar about *Ansata Ibn Halima, who represents 12.5% of the pedigree, about that of a great-grandsire. However, *Morafic appears with more frequency than any other horse, approximately 17 times and 18% influence, which is significant, as his position in the pedigree fluctuates between the 6th generation and the 10th generation.
Wadad Zamani, via the mares in her matriline, like Ramses Nagdia, Om el Saad and Yashmak, goes back to one of the most powerful and enduring dam lines in our breed: Rodania, by way of her great-great grandaughter, Bint Rissala, one of two Rodania line mares purchased from Crabbet. However, Wadad Zamani is grey in her coat color and the Rodania matriline exerts itself a little differently than it would if the mare were chestnut.
The blood of Imperial Imdal+, brought forward by Laheeb and further intensified with the multiple lines to *Morafic, only to be combined with the strongest mare line in all of Arabian horse breeding - Rodania, helps to explain her strong, correct body. While the video captures her as a much younger mare (8 years ago), she has only grown more beautiful with age, enhanced with that classic, dry elegance which identifies her as a living daughter of the desert.
