Remember HC Abla Raqqas, a beautiful grey mare I blogged about in March of 2022? She is a 2013 Hadidi daughter, out of Ravenwood Sensation (Ravenwood Majesty x Ravenwood Cody). HC Abla Raqqas' pedigree unites several key breeding programs across the world, namely Gleannloch with Marbach, The Babson Farm, Albadeia, Pritzlaff (by way of Rafter G and Ravenwood Ranch), plus as an added bonus, an infusion of additional EAO blood through the harder-to-find stallion, Akhtal (Amrulla x Hagir).

HC Abla Raqqas was bred to Christine Emmert's home-bred stallion, Ameer El Koloob (Nour Al Kamar MH x *DHS Tarah), recently exported to Diane Wilson, Australia. Ameer El Koloob expands the pedigree of HC Abla Raqqas to include the breeding programs of Martha Murdoch's Rocaille Ranch by way of Ursula and Willi Poth's program, Rancho Bulakenyo and the EAO-founded programs of Shams El Asil and the Rabab Stud. A few weeks ago, the beautiful filly you see pictured above, was born to HC Abla Raqqas!  Congratulations Christine & Dan!
