Aswad Shahwan
BWA is from the very best Show and Performance lines. His pedigree has no
lack. Every single original ancestor was imported or bred by the FIRST Asil
Arabian’s breeders in
He is a beautiful combination of Babson/Ansata/Pritzlaff/Sirecho
bloodlines.
He is a black stallion: he will produce colors,
black, bay and only 50 % grey when bred to grey mares. Within his bloodlines,
you can find many black and dark bay horses. His coat features rare rabicano
[and sabino] markings, the highlight of his royal and exotic heritage.
He is elegant: he represents the Dahman type. Thus
his numerous qualities include: his dark coat, his ideal classic type, his
excellent conformation, his harmony, his power, his good legs, his very short
back and his long and level croup.
His tail female traces back to El Dahma (APS) of the Dahman Shahwan line: an
eternal Champions’ producer including horses like *Ansata
Bint Bukra, *Ansata Ibn Halima, Anaza
El Farid, Ansata Omar Halim, Sid Abouhom, Ansata Sinan,…He is a second
generation pure-in-the-strain Dahman Shahwan stallion, and thus very typical
of the Dahman Shahwan line.
He is strongly line bred to *Ansata Ibn Halima (Nazeer
& Halima), Fabah and Fa-Serr both by *Fadl.
The international Show Champion *Ansata Ibn Halima ++ was a winner at Halter and Performance, including Park, English Pleasure.
He became a multi-National TOP 10 Champion. Out of his 263 gets, 31 are international Champions and 14 are National Champions.
Out of his 50 Sheykh Obeyd get, 12 are international Champions.
Out of his 8015 grand-get, 591 are international winners.
Out of his 283 Sheykh Obeyd grand-gets, 25 are international Champions.
He
is the only stallion imported to the
Fabah (* Fadl et * Bint Bint Sabbah): Champion and sire of international Champions.
Fabah is the sire of the National British Champion The Shah, 1966, out of the Straight Babson mare Bint Fada (Fa-Serr X Fada).
Fabah is also the sire of El Ibn Fabah+, 1972-96, bay stallion, Top Ten in Native Costume at the National U.S.A. Championships.
Fabah is also the sire of U.S.A. National Champions’ producers.
The last foals sired by Fabah were born in 1975.
Nowadays, every Straight Babson horse
has Fabah and Fa-Serr blood mainly
because the Babson Farm followed the winning method
consisting of breeding Fabah to the Fa-Serr daughters.
Here is an extract from Joey Feriss article about Fa-Serr: “Fa-Serr sired 75 foals, making him one of the most heavily used stallions in Babson breeding. Fa-Serr’s sons and daughters enjoyed popularity both as individuals and breeding stock, resulting in Fa-Serr’s widespread influence. Looking at the number of second generation offspring, Fa-Serr’s sons and daughters produced approximately 1300 foals. Fa-Serr blood is represented in the disciplines of racing, endurance, halter and performance horses, highlighting the versatility of his descendants. Fa-Serr’s sons were very popular sires. The three most heavily used Straight Babson Egyptian sons of Fa-Serr were Faserouf, Negem and Ibn Fa-Serr.
Negem was used extensively within Al Khamsa bloodlines and sired the 1972 Canadian Reserve National Champion Gelding. Negem daughters were equally prized as show mares and excellent broodmares. The mare Shar Sabbah (& Gammousa) produced the champion stallion Ibn Sabbah Bedu +/, winner of 18 Regional Championships, Reserve Championships and U.S. National TOP 10 Awards in the Dressage and Hunter divisions.
The Fa-Serr son, Ibn Fa-Serr was the senior sire at the Babson Farm
until his death in 1986. Out of Fa Deene, full sister to Fa-Serr,
he is inbreed to both *Fadl and *Bint Serra I. The majority of Ibn Fa-Serr’s gets are out of Babson mares
and have carried on the Babson type. Fa-Serr’s very first foal, Faaris (& *Maaroufa)
sired the Al Khamsa stallion El Beshr (&Sirulla),
winner of the first approved Arabian race for purebreds in
One of Fa-Serr’s most successful sons at the national level was Roufas (& Aaroufa), whose wins included a U.S. National Reserve Championship in English Pleasure and U.S. TOP 10 awards in Park, Formal Driving, Pleasure Driving and English Pleasure. The Fa-Serr daughters made an equally significant contribution to the breed. Highly valued for their production ability, few Fa-Serr daughters were shown.
Bint Aaroufa (& Aaroufa) was named as a 1966 U.S. TOP 10 Park horse, a halter champion and dam of champions. Aarouser (& Aaroufa) was a 1973 Canadian National TOP 10 mare and Serr Ra (& Rasima, also the dam of Faar Ra), took honors as the 1964 U.S. National TOP 10 mare.
As
producers, Fa-Serr daughters have exceptional
records: Bint Fada (& Fada)
produced Al Nahr Montego,
a champion and sire of champions who stood at stud in
Bint Fada is
well known as the dam of British National Champion The Shah
(& Fabah), a very successful sire in
Shebaa (& Fay-Sabbah)
produced Bay Rod the 1968 U.S. National Champion in Western Pleasure and sire
of champions. The full sister to Shebaa, Serrasab, was the dam of Sabrah (& Fabah)
who produced the beautiful Fa Halima, 1979 U.S. TOP 10 mare,
1980 U.S. National Champion Mare, Canadian Reserve National Champion Mare and
Reserve International Champion mare in
Another Fa-Serr daughter, Misimma (& Fay-Khedena) is best known as the dam of the beautiful black stallion Fabo (& Fabah).
Fa-Serr’s last foal was Sera Beth, who carried 62.5 percent Fa-Serr blood. She was the grandam of the beautiful Serr Beth (& Ibn Fa-Serr) and Serr Beth’s full brother, Amir Ibn Fa-Serr, a young stallion that stood briefly at the Babson Farm.
Through such horses as Fa-Serr, the Egyptian Arabian has proven its worth. Time after time, Fa-Serr descendants have proven victorious in national competition.”
