In loving memory and celebration of a beautiful horse, Adahs Alexander.
Adahs Alexander (Alex), (3/4/93 - 11/20/23), a life long partner gave up the fight. Alex, a purebred Arabian horse was sired by my stallion Bara El Shabbat and out of my mare Jameel Adah.
Alex was an extremely sensitive horse with a very confident attitude that made the training interesting! The training and nurturing made for an invincible bond. He always had to check on me as well as his pasture mates to make sure all was right with the world. The connection was so strong that he knew more about you than perhaps you knew about yourself.
His many accolades in dressage and hunter performances are definitely noteworthy, but the best was was his first dressage performance at the age of 3, as he did the “Cha Cha” up the centerline rather than a nice relaxed rhythmic straight centerline. And, the best outstanding performance was the test he performed in late January of 2023 at the age of 30, making for a letter perfect performance inductee to the Dressage Foundation.
Alex was a survivor of Cushings disease after being diagnosed at the age of 18. He was very resilient and determined. I will always cherish the memories and lessons of strength, sensitivity and forward motion that he taught me.
