The 19th annual Breyerfest, held at the Kentucky Horse Park, was amazing for the Arabians Ltd. staff and horses who attended! The attendance topped 6500 people–it’s the busiest weekend of the year for the Park, and Thee Desperado and his accomplishments were honored in a huge way as his model was officially debuted!

At the Egyptian Event Europe August 2nd & 3rd, our dear MC Alexsis won her third title since traveling to Europe earlier this summer. She was named Reserve Senior Champion Mare with Frank Spoenle on the lead! The Event, held at the beautiful Castle of Pietersheim in Lanaken, Belgium, is an exciting show, and we’re glad that Alexsis had a chance to show off her beauty and bloodlines to great acclaim there! As much as we miss her here, it’s wonderful to see her star shining so brightly in a different part of the world.
Congratulations to LF Triumphant Star (Thee Desperado x Princess Tammen), who won Reserve National Champion at the 2008 Youth National Championships this week! She was trained by Ted Carson and shown to her win by Nicholas Dean in the Arabian Mare Breeding JTH 17 & Under Championship Class.
This beautiful 3-year-old was bred by our friends Gary and Sandra Fernandes of Lyday Farms, who are Thee Desperado Lifetime Breeders and have had incredible success by using him in their breeding program! LF Triumphant Star is owned by the Butler, Smith and Collins families. Star was also Reserve Junior Champion Mare at the 2007 Egyptian Event, trained and shown by Lyday’s trainer Bryan Jeffries!
Star is a full younger sister to LF Starzafire, who is now owned by HRH Prince Abdulla bin Fahad al Saud of Saudi Arabia.
Our young sire The Sequel RCA continues his rise to follow in his famous father’s impressive hoofprints. Every year at the Egyptian Event, the Egyptian Breeders Challenge (EBC) auction offers breeders the chance to bid on breedings from their favorite stallions. The resulting foals from these breedings are eligible to compete as yearlings in an exclusive cash prize class! At the 2008 Egyptian Event, The Sequel RCA shone as his EBC breeding was sold for the highest price at the 2008 auction!
