Aswad's ancestral elements are Egypt 1, Blunt and Egypt 2 as defined by Al Khamsa Inc.

Aswad is the perfect outcross stallion for breeders that know the importance of returning to the desert source for substance, strength and stamina. The Babson and Pritzlaff Egyptian / Al Khamsa Arabian horses remain an important source for proven athletic traits whether you are producing purebred Arabian athletes or looking to infuse Arabian blood into your breeding program regardless of the breed of horse that you wish to improve or outcross.

Ansata Ibn Halima is recognized throughout the world as a key source for maintaining classic Arabian type and beauty. "He was three times U.S. Top Ten Stallion, and earned numerous performance championships.  Moreover, he sired 260 foals, among them 14 National winners, including U.S. National Champion Mare and Stallion." [excerpt *Ansata Ibn Halima, The Gift By Judith Forbis]

Aswad Shahwan BWA is one of few remaining Straight Egyptian stallions that is "non Nazeer in Sire Line" thru *Fadl [Saklawi Jedran ~ Jamil El Kebir]. He has zero Moniet El Nefous breeding, carries 5 lines to Ansata Ibn Halima (by Nazeer), and is 50% Babson bred with the remaining blood being "Pritzlaff" through Safaara RSI and Elbateer RSI. Aswad is El Dahma (Ali Pasha Sherif) in dam line thru *Bint Bint Sabbah ~ A Dahmah Najibah (Shahwaniyah).

Amir Seralim BWA is the sire of Aswad Shahwan BWA. Please enjoy this very informative article.
The Significance of Amir Seralim BWA by Debra Schrishuhn

Amir Seralim BWA 1993 black stallion (Ru Amir Ser x SC Salima) is the only viable source of both of his parents and four grandparents within Heirloom, and is the only registered foal of his dam. Ru Amir Ser, a Straight Egyptian Babson, was a son of Bint Gammousa 1963 bay mare (Negem x Gammousa, full sister to champion-producing Shar Sabbah) and Ru Amir Ser is her only extant son in Heirloom.

Ru Amir Ser's sire, Amirs Ser Rah (Amir Ibn Faserr x Bahrou), sired 12 purebred foals, but Ru Amir Ser was the only Heirloom foal. Both Ru Amir Ser and his sire are also lost to the Straight Babson gene pool. Bint Gammousa remains extant among the Sheykh Obeyd Straight Babson population. Amir Seralim BWA is the only registered foal of his dam SC Salima (Ansata El Alim x Safaara RSI), making him her only link to the entire Arabian breed, not just Heirloom, Sheykh Obeyd, Al Khamsa, and The Pyramid Society. Her sire had only two Heirloom foals and his other daughter Solimah 1991 (x Solafisa) has never produced a foal, so in effect SC Salima is Heirloom's only link to Ansata El Alim (*Ansata Ibn Halima++ x *Ansata Bint Zaafarana).

SC Salima's dam, Safaara RSI (Faarad x RSI Sara), was a unique breeding (no full siblings) and of her 11 purebred foals, SC Salima was her only Heirloom foal. *Ansata Bint Zaafarana's blood is found through three offspring: her daughter Ansata Zareifa (three living Heirloom descendants of breeding age), Ansata El Alim, and Ansata El Nisr (whose line is well established).

So if Brandywine Arabians had not bred Amir Seralim BWA to ensure the continuance of his line, Heirloom would have lost Ru Amir Ser (Straight Babson already lost to the Babson line), Amirs Ser Rah (Straight Babson already lost to the Babson line), Bint Gammousa (Straight Babson), Ansata El Alim (vector of *Ansata Bint Zaafarana), SC Salima (otherwise lost to the entire Arabian breed), and Safaara RSI.

That's a lot of ancestors funneled down into one horse. And these are not backyard horses—the Babsons have impressive close ancestors in their pedigrees and performance credentials. Amir Ibn Faserr competed successfully in Western Pleasure. His sire Ibn Fa-Serr (Fa-Serr x Fa Deene) was one of the major sires at the Babson Farm. Babson historian Diana Johnson gives him the title of the third most prolific sire within the closed Babson group, after foundation sire *Fadl and his son, 1955 National Grand Champion Fa-Serr (also a black horse, by the way).

Bahrou was a daughter of Fabah (*Fadl x *Bint Bint Sabbah), assessed by Babson Farm manager John Vogel as "probably as consistent a sire as any horse I’ve ever known.” (Joe Ferriss, “An Interview with Babson Farm Manager, John Vogel,” Khamsat, 14: 4: 34-35) Fabah sired many National winners in halter and performance and producers of National Champions in halter and performance. Negem (Fa-Serr x Fay-Negma), another black horse, was herd sire for Char-Shar Farms throughout his life.
