MAHBOOB AL HAWAJER

A future star of the breed was born in 2016 at Al Hawajer Stud in the Emirate of Sharjah. It got the name of Mahboob, which in Arabic means the friend, the beloved, or the sweetheart one. No name sounds better to well-known Dr Ghaneim Al Hajri for this son of the great sire FA El Rasheem (2011) and out of the mare Illuminate (2016). Mahoob's big black dark eyes, nicely pointed ears melt the hearts of all the equestrian family members at Al Hawajer and fortunate friends that first realise the genetic he is. Mahboob's sire FA El Rasheem needs no introduction to the world industry as he is just one of the most prolific reproducers of the 21st century. And his offspring are multi-celebrated champions horses throughout the globe. Through FA El Rasheem, Mahboob is a grandson to the US breeding phenomenon Fa El Shawan (2005); therefore, a great-grandson to the legendary sire Marwan Al Shaqab (2000)(Gazal Al Shaqab x Little Liza Fame). Mahboob's dam, the beautiful US-bred mare Illuminate, is a precious daughter by US sire Limagine (2000) (Magnum Psyche x RD Kashandra by Wa Kash) and out of the mare Lumiara Tamara (RSD Dark Victory by Bey-Shah x Momentka). Unquestionably, Mahboob's royal pedigree is one of the reasons why he is so special. He combines Polish, Egyptian, Spanish flares and American powerhouses in a unique mix that have produced a genetic bombshell. The rumours that an exceptional colt is in the barns of Dr Ghanaeim spread over the world. At the time, famed horseman and breeder Willie Brown from EKS Elkasun Arabian Horses in South Africa decides to add something new to his breeding program. After a short time, Willie decides to purchase Mahboob and takes heart by placing his trust in this young stallion. As of today, Mahboob's offspring look beautiful and many breeders around the world start to have an interest in him. Mahboob has already caught the attention of many people within the horse industry. Mr Fahrang Fahzeli from Iran is one of these. Besides being highly appreciated for his attitude, Fahrang is a proven talent scout of the breed and owner of Iran Horse Promotion. His sharp eye can detect any defaults in a horse as he is also breeding and training his Arabian horses. He has always provided Iran with the best colts and stallions. As soon as Fahrang sees Mahboob for the first time, he buys him without hesitation, not just to add to his breeding program, but also to add to Iran's production. Therefore, Farhang decides to create a strong partnership and acquire Mahboob Al Hawajer.
