Awaiting Further News....
|
|
We received a notice in the mail that Ahmed Fabo is one of the leaders for the USA Equestrian Region 7 Horse of the Year Award!! USA Equestrian used to be called the American Horse Show Association. Ahmed Fabo (Ahmed Fabah X Dahma Saafada), our 5 yr old Babson stallion, is currently ranked # 1 in Region 7! Nationally he is ranked # 29! Ahmed Fabo is home now and will not show the rest of the season. Since we had not planned to show him again until the 2003 season was over, bringing him home did not affect his standing. The results are not yet official. There may be more scores to add in for other horses. We don't know if the US Nationals scores have been added in yet. Although he was qualified but we did not go this year. We will post further news when we know more! |

We're Celebrating! A 2003 Khebir line Babson filly is born! Bint Roulett had a filly by Bedu Sabir on March 23, 2003. She was born at 9:30 in the morning. Her birth makes 15 of the last 18 foals born here daytime foals. Our comfort loving Babson mares seem to say "No mare shall foal before her breakfast is served!" This pretty bay filly weighed in at 100lbs at birth. She was carried for 335 days. Bint Roulett's previous fillies had been 325 and 326 day gestations. We are celebrating this very welcome arrival!! |
Ahmed Fabo wins BLUE at the Scottsdale Show!
| Ahmed
Fabo, our five year old Babson stallion (Ahmed Fabah x Dahma
Saafada) had a very good show at the 2003 Scottsdale All Arabian Show.
He brought home a first, second, third and fourth. We are very
pleased with his performance. He was quiet and relaxed during his
tests as well as while waiting his turn to show.
We didn't tell Sabbah where we were going as we disappeared down the driveway heading for the show. He would have wanted to go play too! |

Rain on the Scottsdale 2003 Show!
 |
On February the 12th
through 14th a big rainstorm hit the Buckeye, Phoenix, and Scottsdale
areas. Rain was heavy with some areas getting 2.5 to 3 inches of
rain. The show grounds on Friday morning were so wet that the
dressage classes had to be cancelled. Saturday's delayed dressage
classes were moved to a new arena and held from 6 PM to 1 AM Saturday
night. Ahmed Fabo's trainer Jackie Alkin put out some Scottsdale
survival gear as part of her barn display wishing everyone the best of
luck while "swimming down the center line!"
The West World facility was better known as "Wet World" for the early part of Scottsdale Week. |

I
lost my beautiful Serabaar on Oct 29th to a stroke. I
am grateful he did not seem to be in pain and that I could be there with
him the whole time. In so many ways it was not as bad as it could
have been, for that I am very grateful for both of us. He left me
quietly with our vet's assistance. He was a very special horse and
I really miss him.
