I was born in Northern California, USA. I have had a passion for horses, more specifically arabian horses for as long as I can remem- ber. My earliest memory of it was when my fa- ther was on a business trip in Arkansas, USA, and brought me a little blue brochure. It was from Ansata Arabian Stud, I was hooked. After finishing school at the University of Colorado, I was focused on a career as an auditor in Los Angeles, also modeling part time and raising 2 small boys. In 2006 I moved to Colorado and bought my first horse, a Straight Egyp- tian stallion, Danseurs Rafiq by El Hadiyyah, not knowing what the pedigree meant, just on an emotional whim. Some months later I leased a Straight Egyptian mare, SDR Ho- stan Granat and bred the 2 of them for my first Straight Egyptian foal, Nasmat Asfour in 2007. I learned everything I could about Straight Egyptians. I named my program “Wadi Al Nasmat” Vally of Breath, because the horses have provided me a sense of re- fuge and peace and calm. It’s had to believe but I’m expecting my15th foal crop in 2021, in my 3rd generation of breeding. I have sold many horses over the years mostly to the Middle East, namely to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and occasionally to Eu- rope or in the USA. On a typical day, I feed the horses, clean up after them and look over everyone. We have 10 mares giving birth this year and I just finished bringing one into the barn to get ready to have her baby! Besides taking care of the horses and the ran- ch, we sometimes have Golden retrie- ver puppies and 4 (human) boys that keep me running.
