HR Ahmar Shaitaan is an HR Roujuan son, foaled in 2001. Considering the critical status of the Mesaoud sire line (within straight Egyptian breeding), a son is sufficient reason for a celebration, balloons, marching bands and blizzard-like confetti, falling from the sky. However, in this particular case, the celebration was short-lived, as HR Ahmar Shaitaan was gelded. Prior to being gelded, he did sire a son, HR Fabah Zahaa, a 2003 stallion out of the Fadaan-sired daughter, HR Tariifah, doubling the Mesaoud sire line in one individual. Unfortunately, just like his sire, the sire line was cut short, as HR Fabah Zahaa, was also gelded.
***While the perpetuation of this sire line is vitally important, we must remember that our brothers and sisters in this community are just like us, saddled with a similar burden of responsibilities, limited by the extent of their resources. That's important to say, especially in these times, when horses, through no fault of their own, find themselves unwanted and unloved. A horse who finds himself (or herself) in a loving home is also cause for celebration. Remember the role we all play, in creating a being who brings joy into another person's life. Be kind, no judging, no criticizing.***
