Something in the way she moves....

Taghira B is a straight Egyptian Arabian mare owned by Gigi Grasso and Paolo Damilano of Alfabia Stud in Italy.

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.-Lyrics by George Harrison, from the song Something

When I saw this picture that Gigi had taken, I was impressed with the driving power in the hind end and how well she uses the muscles in her back. In this photo,  her back is not hollow and stiff. It's relaxed and connected between the energy in her hind end and in her front end. It curls down, in an arc, from the front end to the hind end, as if her hind end is going to go under her body. Everything that you feel from the photo is of a horse who is moving forward and is supple and creating this power that is really going to get you somewhere. There is no neck shot straight up and a head held so high, that it looks more like a submarine periscope, driving the back down and eliminating any connection between the moving points of her body. When I think of extreme movement, I think of this mare and this most wonderful photo. She is living proof, a confirmation of the quality horse which Babolna has been producing consistently in their breeding program.

Taghira B is sired by El Thay Mameluk and is out of the Zohair daughter, 211 Zohair-2. Taghira B is one of the horses Babolna produced , using El Thay Mameluk for breeding.

The mare, 211 Zohair is by Zohair [Alaa El Din x Zebeda] and out of 28 Farag [Farag x 9 Tamria]). The interesting aspects of Taghira's pedigree are the multiple sources of Kateefa, through Alaa El Din (the dam of this stallion) and the dam of Farag. Also, if you examine the pedigree even farther back, you will see that Layla is also a multiple source mare in the pedigree. Layla was a Dahmah Shahwaniyah and she appears in this mare's pedigree through Farag but also through Kamar (and to further underscore the importance of this mare, Layla is the dam of Sid Abouhom). We also have multiple sources of Moniet El Nefous present in this pedigree, both through the sire lines and through the dam lines.

BUT WHERE DOES THAT OUTSTANDING MOVEMENT COME FROM???
Can we attribute this spectacular movement to Alaa El Din, as he has demonstrated his influence through the female side of the pedigree or is this movement characteristic of the athletic capabilities of the Kuhaylah Rodaniyahs through Kateefa? Something to think and reflect about, on these cold winter days and great horses like Taghira make cold days so much warmer.

Keep wishing, keep dreaming, keep hoping...life is good,
Ralph

*Simeon Sachi

*Simeon Sachi is an Asfour son (Malik x Hanan) out of Simeon Sheba (Ra'adin Royal Star x 27 Ibn Galal V). He was bred by Marion Richmond, of Simeon Stud in Australia and purchased by Anne-Louise Toner of Al Atiq Arabians in Maryland, USA. I liked the combination of bloodlines in Sachi's pedigree, blending EAO blood with Katharinenhof, Babolna, Babson and Sirecho bloodlines. Alaa el Din, Bukra, Hamdan, Yosreia and her daughter, Farasha...all the horses that I love, were here, in one pedigree. I focused on the Babson mare Allah Ateyyah, an Ar-Ra'ad daughter (Faaris x Dahma Al Zarka) out of the Fay-el-Dine daughter, Khamsa, who when bred to Sireff (Fa-Serr x Sirefa), produced the mare Ra'adin Hilal. Bred to *Tuhotmos, she produced a chestnut beauty, Om Khamsa. All of these wonderful old-time horses were part of Sachi's pedigree.

I will never forget meeting Sachi, as he was a wonderful surprise, unexpectedly more typey in person, than in any picture I had seen of him. As Anne-Louise slid open the stall door, I was greeted by a most beautiful, short, wide head, with large, elastic nostrils already working overtime. Crowning the top of his head were smaller, sharp, tippy ears. Huge jowls, looking like they had been chiseled out of the finest marble, were placed on each side of his head, leaving enough room for an extra-large man's fist to fit in the throatlatch comfortably. His eyes were big, round, black and so shiny, they sparkled like fine jewels. "This is Sachi?" I remember asking Anne-Louise. And she smiled. 

THIS IS REALLY SACHI???

Sachi's personality was child-like, as he was friendly, very inquisitive and curious about people, underscoring the breed's history of intimate closeness with man. He wanted to know who I was. As we haltered him and snapped the lead chain and started our walk to an outside ring, I looked over his body, which was smooth, short-coupled, with a nice angle to his shoulder, well sprung ribs and a very round, full, well-muscled hindquarter. His legs were beautiful, with a nice ratio of forearm-to-cannons and lovely pasterns, which suggested to me that this horse would do extremely well in some type of performance discipline. He was a most correct horse and strong. When Anne-Louise let him loose and he started trotting across the diagonal, I could not believe the extended trot I was witnessing. The angle of the shoulder that I had just admired, allowed this horse an incredible freedom, resulting in a powerfully floating gait, which literally ate up the ground in front of him.

I haven't seen Sachi since this day, almost 7 -8 years ago. I wondered how he had matured and if he looked like any one of the other Asfour sons who I also admire like Simeon Stav, Simeon Sharav, Simeon Sadik and Simeon Safsal. I wrote to Anne-Louise and asked for a recent photo of Sachi and when I opened the file, I smiled. Everything that I once loved about this horse and wanted to capture for my own, is still here, alive and well in this magnificent horse.

EnJOY,

Ralph

Atiq Hazaya

216 Haszuna B was a much valued daughter of Ansata Nile Pasha, out of 227 Ibn Galal I (Ibn Galal I x 202 Ibn Galal). Up until she died recently, 216 Haszuna B lived in Israel, at Idan Atiq, far from the Babolna pastures where she was raised. One can say that 216 Haszuna B was the anchor in Idan Atiq's breeding program, allowing Kuti and Tzviah to incorporate the blood of a mare like 227 Ibn Galal I, her dam. Haszuna's tail female line goes back to the Hadban Enzahiyah mare, Hind, through her daughter Fasiha, a half-sister to Yosreia. The chestnut stallion, Galal, was a son of Farasha, a celebrated daughter of Yosreia. Bred to Mohga, the black daughter of El Sareei and Yosreia, Galal sired Ibn Galal, who was double Yosreia and therefore, double Hind, top and bottom. Ibn Galal is the sire of both Ibn Galal I and 202 Ibn Galal, who together produced the mare 227 Ibn Galal I, the cornerstone of the Idan Atiq breeding program. Before leaving Babolna for Israel, 216 Haszuna B produced the beautiful chestnut mare, Hora B by Halim Shah I, who also was purchased by Idan Atiq. However, after arriving in Israel, 216 Haszuna B produced one colt, after another. No fillies. The sons were very nice but Idan Atiq yearned for a daughter. This past breeding season, something happened, something changed.

216 Haszuna B foaled Atiq Hazaya, a filly by Atiq Hilal, an up-and-coming stallion at Idan Atiq, who is a son of Laheeb, out of the mare Hila B, who is sired by Salaa el Dine and out of Haniya B, a 227 Ibn Galal I daughter (sired by Efendi B, an Ansata Nile Pasha son). When bred to 216 Haszuna B, these common blood elements are intensified, on both sides of the pedigree, specifically for Hind, Hanan and the Ansata blood through Ansata Nile Pasha, Ansata Halim Shah and Ansata Imperial. As you can see from the photo, her feminine charm is accentuated by a very shapely hindquarter, round and curvey, with much fullness and hinting at the power that will drive this filly across the ground, in true wind-drinker fashion. I also see the influence of horses like Sirecho and Sameh, who appear in the paternal side of the pedigree, through Asal Sirabba and Romanaa II. Expressive, with beautiful eyes, Hazaya will eventually join Hora B, in furthering the line of the much revered 227 Ibn Galal I for Idan Atiq Stud.

Many thanks to Tzviah Idan for telling me about such a sweet filly and for this picture of Atiq Hazaya, taken last week.

Majiid EQ

Majiid EQ is owned by John and Susan Fox of Equinox Arabians, Eatonton, Georgia and was recently leased to Vincenzo Pellegrini of Assa Egyptian Arabians in Treviso, Italy for the next three breeding seasons (2010, 2011 and 2012). I exchanged messages with Vincenzo and in addition to breeding, his plans also include a few shows with Frank Spönle holding the lead line.

Majiid EQ is sired by the Salaa el Dine son, Shahir IASB and out of Miss Maggie Mae, a daughter of The Minstril, out of Ruminaja Ali's dam, Bint Magidaa. When I studied his picture, I was confused. I knew the horse was not bred by Imperial Egyptian Stud but he really looks like an Imperial-bred horse. He is balanced, with many rounded lines and curves. He is scopey, with a longer neck and roominess in his throatlatch, a quality which is missing in today's Egyptian horses. He has nicely muscled forearms and that big Imperial hindquarter. That's what I find so appealing in him and so familiar. He has substance. He has muscles. Everything flows together...everything looks like it belongs on the horse. So, when I studied his pedigree, I smiled when I saw Salaa el Dine, as he is an Ansata Halim Shah son. This horse, Ansata Halim Shah was one of, if not THE epitome of balance, when he was alive. For me, he has become with time, even more so, the standard by which I measure all horses. As I kept looking at the pedigree, I realized that the stallion Shahir is out of an Imperial-bred mare, Imperial Im Phayana, an Ansata Imperial daughter out of Imperial Phanadah (*Ibn Moniet el Nefous x *Pharrah).

Do you know who Imperial Phanadah is? She was a phenomenal broodmare for Imperial Egyptian Stud, producing sons and daughters who have gone on to spread the Imperial influence, farther and wider than anyone thought possible, in her day. This pretty chestnut-colored mare also produced Imperial Phanilah, the 1994 World Champion Senior mare, who was owned by Al Shaqab, up until her death in 2007. Shahir's dam, Imperial Im Phayana was Imperial Phanilah's full sister. Imperial Phanadah also produced by Ansata Imperial, the full sisters to Phayana and Phanilah: Phanusa and Pharida. By Imperial Imdal, she produced the stallion Imperial Pharaj and the bay mare, Imperial Phandala, who is now with Anne-Lousie Toner of Al Atiq in Maryland. By Imperial Al Kamar, she also produced the stallion, Imperial Pharouk and the mare, Imperial Pharasha (who is now with Al and Judi Parks of Abbasiyah, having produced a lovely colt by Abraxas Moonstruk.) Bred once to the stallion, *Ibn Safinaz, she also produced the mare, Imperial Phateena.
For me, there are no words to express the powerful feelings I experience, when horses from long ago, materialize in front of me and are no longer dead...they are very much alive. All it takes is for the horse to stand a certain way or maybe, turn his head a little this way or place his hoof just so and a very much missed horse, whom you never thought you would see again, is suddenly standing in front of you. I get all choked up. It is interesting to study Majiid EQ from this perspective and look for the influence of Imperial Im Phayana, Ansata Imperial, Imperial Phanadah and her dam, *Pharrah.
It will be exciting to see the impact that Majiid EQ will have in Europe, both as a sire and as a show horse.

Best wishes to all and Happy New Year 2010,
Ralph

2 MOONS

In December, we enjoyed a phenomenon in our night-time sky which does not occur frequently, maybe every 2-to-3 years: two full moons, one at the beginning of the month and the second, at the end of the month, which we called a "blue moon".

"Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own..."-from the song, Blue Moon, lyrics by Lorenz Hart and music by Richard Rodgers

Majid Alsayegh is the breeder and owner of the 2003 stallion, Badraan Al Majid, who is pictured above. Already the owner of an *Ibn Safinaz daughter, Imperial Safemaa (out of the full sister to El Hilal, Negmaa), Majid wanted to incorporate more of Imperial's influence into his program and leased the Imperial Madheen daughter, Imperial Mahzeera (out of Maar Bilahh) from Anne-Louise Toner. He bred Mahzeera to Imperial Al Kamar, producing Badraan, whose name means two moons.
Two moons, you ask?
Well, Imperial Al Kamar, whose name means "the moon" is a son of El Hilal, whose name means "the crescent moon". Two moons in one horse.

“The moon, like a flower
In heaven's high bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night.”-William Blake

I see Maar Bilahh in Badraan and this comforts me, less than a month after her death. Badraan, like his grandmother, has a wonderful temperament. He is a sweet horse, kind and loving. Also like Maar Bilahh and her sire El Halimaar, both of whom were influenced by *Ansata Ibn Halima (he appears 3 times in the pedigree of Badraan: through El Hilal, Hossny and El Halimaar), Badraan's head shape is familiar: short and wide, with very expressive, liquid black eyes. Maar Bilahh's most captivating, most enchanting feature was her eyes. Badraan has that timeless look about him, maybe even, a traditional look. Large, elastic, nostrils frame one end of his head and wonderfully short, sharp, tippy ears frame the top of his head, underscoring all the features which endear sweet-looking horses like Badraan, to a human heart. This is a horse to hug and to whisper promises of wither-scratches and pockets filled to over-flowing with cut carrots. Like Maar Bilahh, he is smooth-bodied, harmonious, with substance, including a muscled chest, which flows into a nice shoulder, topped with a generous wither, testifying to the presence in Badraan's pedigree of strong-bodied horses like Sameh and his daughter, *Serenity Sonbolah. With good, strong legs and hard, round feet, Badraan was conditioned in endurance, doing well in limited distance, up-to-15 miles with good recovery rates.

Majid plans for Badraan to eventually compete in a 25-mile ride. It is important for Majid, that Badraan is tested athletically, before using him for breeding purposes. Majid tells me,

"He has certain qualities that would be an asset to the Egyptian breed such as a good temperament, good strong legs, and well formed, circular feet. The farrier always has good things to say about his feet! Important for a good riding horse!"

Badraan has proven that he possesses the correct conformation and the intelligence to handle a demanding discipline like endurance racing, however, those physical qualities and his temperament are strong reasons why Badraan should be bred to select, straight Egyptian mares. He has much to offer the breeder looking for an authentic Egyptian horse.

Happy New Year,
Ralph

A Love Song for a Queen

Maar Bilahh died last week, on December 19th. She was 25 years old.

The sweet-faced daughter of El Halimaar and Bint Nabilahh (Farasha's daughter, Nabilahh, produced Bint by the stallion *Morafic), Maar Bilahh was bred by the Cruz family of Rancho Bulakenyo and was purchased by Barbara Griffith of Imperial Egyptian Stud. In an interview with Nancy C. Ryan of Arabian Horse World, Jody Cruz said,

"...my father was able to buy some amazing horses, he bought a 'barren mare' named Bint Nabilahh for nearly nothing and when she arrived, she was pregnant by Shaikh Al Badi. We then bred her to our stallion, El Halimaar and she produced a filly named Maar Bilahh, who kind of won the world over."

She was an Egyptian Event Supreme Champion Mare, an East Cost Champion Mare, a Region 15 Champion Mare, a U.S. Top Ten Futurity Mare, an Israeli National Champion mare and a Middle East Reserve Champion mar

"You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.”-from the song, You’re Beautiful, written by James Blunt, Sacha Skarbek and Amanda Ghost

When she was sold to Ariela, I knew that I would never see her again and my heart broke, to think of it. I loved the mare very much and in my fantasy day-dreaming, I thought that I would be able to one day buy her. Already a successful broodmare at Imperial Egyptian Stud, the beautiful foals that Maar Bilahh would eventually produce in Israel, made her absence a little more tolerable. In America, she produced by Imperial Madheen, the stallion Imperial Mahzeer (who eventually became the herd sire for Al Nasser Stud in Qatar and sired Bint Saida El Nasser, the 2002 Reserve World Champion Mare at the Salon du Cheval) and the mare, Imperial Mahzeera who produced the full brother and sister by Imperial Al Kamar, the grey stallion, Badraan Al Majid and the bay mare, Medallela. Before being exported to Belgium, she also produced full siblings by *Simeon Sachi (Asfour x Simeon Sheba): Melissa Al Atiq and Mishaal Al Atiq. Also in America, by *Orashan, she produced the mare, Imperial Orbillah, who produced 3 stallions (MB Talmaar, MB Talman and MB Tamaal, all by the Amaal son, Talmaal) and MB Bilaza, a daughter by the Ruminaja Ali son, Anaza el Nizr. In Israel, by Imperial Imdal, she produced a daughter, Mar-Halla and two sons, Mahbub (2000 Israeli Reserve National Champion Stallion) and Muhajjal (1997 and 2000 Israeli Reserve National Champion Colt). The mare Mar-Halla has foaled two mares, Maar Silahh by El Thay Mashour (Madkour I x El Thay Bint Kamla) and Mar-Hiba by NK Hafid Jamil. Mar-Hiba has already produced a colt, Ibn Kamaahr by Kamaahr (Al Maraam x Imperial Kalatifa). By Al Maraam, she produced a son, Al Safir AA (who sired the successful stallion, Al Hakim) and by Al Ayad, she produced her last filly, Maar Miri AA, who is pictured with Maar Bilahh in the photo.

"Maybe I can go to Ariela Arabians in Israel and visit her?" were thoughts that crossed my mind, from time-to-time. Even though the reality of owning such a horse was not realistic, just knowing that she was alive and being a good mother to her babies was comforting. But now, she is really gone, forever and no matter what happens; even if I am able to go to Israel, I will never be able to see Maar Bilahh again. I will never see her at any gate, her left foreleg lifted in anticipation and her ears pricked forward, in anticipation of the human that was coming to visit her and shower her with affection. I will never be able to wrap my arms around her neck and squeeze her as hard as I could and hear the happy, little grunt that she made. I will never feel the weight of her head on my shoulder, as I proceeded to scratch her on her wither. She really loved people. If my jacket pocket was large enough, she would have jumped into it.

"Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose." -From the television show, The Wonder Years

The Queen is gone and she has taken a little piece of the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She was not a tall horse but yet, she had a lot of substance. In her company, the combination of her personality and her beautiful type was enchanting. The following photo of Maar Bilahh, as the Israeli National Champion mare, shows her in superb show condition (I want to remember her like this):

I wrote to Chen, as soon as I learned the news because I knew how much she loved Maar Bilahh and how sad she must feel over her death. If there was one person who would understand how I feel about Maar Bilahh, it would be Chen:

"...Now, her stall is empty and I have a big hole in my heart. I really miss this old lady. She had a part in my life for the last 15 years and was the horse who has been here the longest with me at Ariela Arabians. I'm doing my best to remember that she had very good life, always with the people who loved her."

Her legacy will continue, through her sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters, thanks to Ariela, who recognized the potential of this very special horse. Your presence made life so much better "Marbie" and while I will miss you, I know that you will live on in your progeny. They will keep your memory alive and remind the world what a special mare you were. And maybe, sometime in the near future, I will have "my own private Marbie" to love and cherish.

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up."-Neil Gaiman

Good-bye Maar Bilahh...it was very good to know you,
Ralph

KAH POW! KAH BAM! KAH RETTA!

"I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams
I had high hopes...."-Tracy Chapman, from her song, All That You Have is Your Soul

I "stumbled" upon this beautiful mare, while I was looking for another picture. Who is she? Her name is Kah Retta, she was bred by the Babson Farm and she was foaled in 1981. That's right, 1981. Do you remember where you were in 1981? In 1981, Anwar Sadat was assasinated and Hosni Mubarak became the Egyptian President. Both Pope John Paul II and the American President, Ronald Reagan were shot in assasination attempts. Martial law was declared in Poland by General Wojciech Jaruzelski and the Solidarity Labor Union was outlawed and its leaders, including Lech Walesa were imprisoned. The movie Chariots of Fire won the Academy Award for Best Picture and the song, Bette Davis Eyes won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. Dallas was the number one TV show and 42nd Street won the Tony Award for the best musical. In 1981, the world was changing and for me, as a college student, the world was a fresh, new place, full of opportunity and big dreams, for all who could seize it or so I believed. It is really hard to believe that 27 years have passed by and that this mare has somehow faded into obscurity. I was so surprised to find her. How did I not know about her? In the later years of the Babson Farm, the blood of *Asadd++ was introduced to the program through a stallion named Sahadi Shikari. I knew this and I always thought this cross was interesting, as there is common ground through Ibn Rabdan. I knew it and I accepted it and yet, I did not move on it. I contacted her owner, Jennifer Graef, in order to learn more about her. Jennifer told me:

"I bought her first in 2003 from a less then desirable situation where she was wasting away in a field with a bunch of young horses and one rotten round bale. She is a beautiful mare. She has such wonderful dark eyes. She really embodies the Arabian breed."

She is gorgeous, with a softness that ignites the desire to wrap my arms around her neck and bury my face in her soft coat, filling up my senses, all the way down to the deep, deep part of my core being; the special place that is reserved for something extraordinary, for great beauty that is not easily comprehended and the resulting joy which fuels my dreams and encourages my spirit, even in the darkest days. As special as Kah Retta is on the outside, her pedigree is unique, a blend of key horses that one does not find too often. I recognize and appreciate the concentrated sources of Kuhaylan Rodan breeding in Kah Retta's pedigree, as her sire, the 1978 stallion, Sahadi Shikari is not only a pure-in-the-strain Kuhaylan Rodan; his dam Kameela, is predominantly Kuhaylah Rodaniyah as 3 of her 4 grandparents are of this strain. WOW! That's amazing. However, the concentration does not stop with the Kuhaylan Rodans, as Haretta's pedigree is influenced by Saklawi and Dahman sources. Sired by Ansata Abbas Pasha who traces to the most beautiful Saklawiyah mare of all time, Moniet El Nefous (see my previous article, ENCHANTMENT), Haretta is out of the mare, Henretta, who was sired by Ibn Fa Serr, who traces to *Bint Serra, who is also a Saklawiyah. These Saklawi sources on the bottom of the pedigree combine nicely with Lubna, a Moniet El Nefous daughter, who is the dam of *Sultann, the sire of *Asadd++, on the top side of the pedigree. The entire pedigree is balanced by the Dahman sources on the bottom, through *Ansata Ibn Halima and through the tail female line of the pedigree, *Bint Bint Sabbah.

I use allbreedpedigree.com a lot. I checked the progeny records for this mare and I see two horses listed. Let's look at the first mare, the 1985 mare, Rou Ketta, who was sired by the all Babson and Ibn Fa Serr son, Serr Rou. This is incredible, while Serr Rou has the tail female to *Maaroufa, this stallion has 3 lines to *Bint Serra!! This mare, Rou Ketta, in turn has produced 2 mares: the 1989 Ruala Sereta by Serhabbas and the 1995 mare, Ruala Aleeta by Ansata Ali Abbas. Both these daughters have common ground, in that their sires are Ansata Abbas Pasha sons. Remember that Kah Retta's dam is an Ansata Abbas Pasha daughter!!! The Saklawi sources are magnified, not only through *Bint Serra but also through Ansata Abbas Pasha. It makes me think about what Judi Forbis once said about the Dahman strain being a blend of Kuhaylan and Saqlawi influences. And here, in this mare, we have concentrations of both strains, anchored by the Dahman tail female line.

The other mare produced by Kah Retta is a Thee Infidel daughter, Khara Infidel, which again, is a unique combination and what I find really exciting about this cross is the intensification of the Ibn Rabdan blood. The cross of Thee Desperado on Bint Magidaa is a pedigree that is rich with Ibn Rabdan blood through horses like Anter, Farasha, Zaghloul, Mahfouza, *Morafic and Ibn Galal I. I don't see that this mare has produced any progeny but allbreedpedigree may not be updated with the most recent information.

Visiting the Craver Farms website, earlier this week , I was reminded by what Charles and Jeanne Craver were able to accomplish for the Davenport breeding group. It is a contemporary example with much relevance for the straight Egyptian breeding group. There is a lesson to be learned here. We need more mares like Kah Retta, with her blend of bloodlines that introduce a bit more variety or diversity into the genetic stream of Egyptian breeding. Over the years, through appreciation and recognizing that the more popular bloodlines offer reliable consistency in producing the type of horses that people desire, we have moved uncomfortably closer to limiting the choices in our gene pool by increasing the supply (or oversupply) of particular bloodlines, while sacrificing the bloodlines of key horses.

It is difficult to describe the powerful feelings that a horse like Kah Retta generates. To trace her silhouette with my finger, the familiarity of gently sloping, smooth, harmonious and generously curved lines, the electricity that collects in the tips of my fingers, matched only by the rapid beating of my heart, as I recognize a horse that is faithfully authentic to her heritage and yet, another reminder of a horse that I knew a long time ago and despite the years that have accumulated between the day I met him and today, I still remember him.


PS Thanks Jennifer
