Zobeyni Arabians

19/12/2024

Friends at Zobeyni 💜
I’ve had a couple of stressful days with Bambi (Zobeyni Aziza) not being quite right. I always worry about colic but quick action, sloppy feed, getting in & monitoring seems to have got it under control. My lovely vets at Stretton Hills Equine Veterinary Practice assured me she is on the mend already. It just shows that knowing your horses & adjusting rapidly is key - Bambi of course was angelic throughout 💜 Thanks to Julie for helping in those first worrying moments 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🥰panic
Update Friday 20th December:
Lots of lovely, shiny p**p this morning & much happier 👍🥰🤞💫

Dreaming of summer at Zobeyni!

Oh so windy at Zobeyni!
So the horses tucked themselves in their field shelters & ate extra hay & we took the dogs for a play at our local agility field at Wags. Peter, I, our daughter Emma & Joe had fun with Caesar, Elsie & Buffy - my little 9 year old Cavalier spaniel Buffy was the agility champion!☺️

Definitions & Delusions
I have been playing with pedigree percentages today. It's a Sunday but it does not feel like work even if the pedigrees I do are a business these days; it's always been a hobby.
I am just a little tired of coming across Crabbet Arabians that Datasource and Allbreedpedigree both insist on describing as Straight Egyptian. I have no problem with Crabbet Arabians being described as part Egyptian, due to their inheritance from the foundation stock that came from Ali Pasha Sherif, but when Bedouin foundation horses that came direct to Crabbet and never set foot in Egypt are described as Straight Egyptian, that is just a bit maddening.
I understand that what it really means is that these lines are accepted by the Asil Club and the Sherif Pyramid Society but, on that basis, I could describe the early RAS Egyptians as Straight Crabbet! The terminology needs to be clearer and not head up the horse's bloodline description way before mention is made of Crabbet.
The great Crabbet sire Oran is described as Straight Egyptian although he was bred in England by Lady Yule at the Hanstead Stud from parents bred at Crabbet. His bloodlines do owe much to the Ali Pasha Sherif lines such as Mesaoud (who really can be described as Straight Egyptian) but he is about 35% Blunt Bedouin imports and 65% Ali Pasha Sherif ancestry.
I tried to add a note to the information on Queen of Sheba on allbreedpedigree to say she was a Bedouin mare and NOT Straight Egyptian - apparently her information is locked.
Meanwhile we have new researchers who just repeat this information with no real knowledge of the horses concerned.
It is all a bit sad. You cannot believe everything written even on an official registration site such as Datasouce.

Still snowy at Zobeyni ❄️
You can’t really see my smart Arab stallion Zobeyni Nurani but at least he’s cozy ☺️💜

My current cover photo is less than a week ago, grazing in the sun …. And now look!🫣 At least they are all cozy ☺️💞

I had to share this of Beccy Gant on the gorgeous Zobeyni Magnus, out on a 16km ride. Look at those two happy faces ….. I think Magnus might think this is more fun than dressage!☺️💜

Facelift at Zobeyni! 🎉
Hoping it will all get done for Christmas, but the horses are fine so that’s OK ✨

Fresh grazing at Zobeyni 🌺 🍂
Klinta Salma aka Sally with her daughter Zobeyni Nefeurina aka Nina & the adorable Zobeyni Aziza aka Bambi had a little prance, said hello to Munirah & Crystal Solitaire across the fence & then got down to eating ☺️ Zobeyni Nurani supervised from his field next door 💜

Lady Anne Blunt drawings, paintings & photos sold off at auction …. Apparently the level of interest in the first lady of the Crabbet and Sheykh Obeyd Studs caught everyone by surprise.
It’s a long time ago now …. But fascinating!

Doing what I love & feeling quite emotional at the appreciation 💜
