Wow–MC Alexsis has been in Europe for only a month, and she’s already been named Senior Champion Mare AND Best in Show!! Shown by Frank Spoenle for her new owner, Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi of Ajman, United Arab Emirates, Alexsis competed against 15 great mares at the International B Show in Halden, Norway on June 28th and 29th!
Alexsis had ALL 20s (a perfect score) in Type, ALL 20s in the Head & Neck category, all 19s for Body, 16s for Legs, and all 19s for Movement!!! What a score!
“Lexi”’s longtime owners, Karl, Jacki, and Erika Breckon, are so proud of her success. They have been blessed with a little piece of Lexi in her youngest foal, a colt by Thee Desperado. The chestnut colt was born by embryo transfer after she left for her new home.
Congratulations to the Sheikh on his first win with Alexsis and to Frank for his usual great showmanship!
Congratulations to Leslie Nord! Her mare Alia Valentino (Thee Desperado x Ali Maarlia) earned Top 5 at the recent Region 9 competition in Ft. Worth, Texas. Shawn Crews led Valentino to her ribbon, and she was 3rd on the judges’ cards in a very competitive class. This beautiful grey mare is a wonderful competitor!
A huge congratulations to Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi of Ajman, United Arab Emirates, on his purchase of the Top Ten US Nationals AND two-time Egyptian Event Reserve Supreme Champion Mare MC Alexsis (The Elixir x AK Athena). Sheikh Ammar purchased Alexsis from Karl and Jacki Breckon & Jim and Judy Sirbasku.
Alexsis has traveled safely to her new home and is settling in.

Full brothers Bellagio RCA and Mirajh RCA are the poster boys for the 2008 Egyptian Event! A photo of the two stallions are featured on the Pyramid Society’s homepage and in print ads for the 2008 Egyptian Event! Bellagio and Mirajh both won championships at the 2005 Egyptian Event, shortly before Mirajh left for his new home in Egypt.
At the Lone Star Classic in early April, Arabians Ltd. showed 2 horses and brought home 2 championships! Arabians Ltd. junior sire The Sequel RCA (Thee Desperado x La Marsala) was Champion Stallion, and 2-year-old filly KBF Starlight (left) (Thee Desperado x MC Alexsis) earned a Champion Mare ribbon for owner Carolyn Busch. Starlight will show at the Egyptian Event this year, and Sequel is welcoming some gorgeous babies this foaling season!
April 5-6th, Arabians Ltd. hosted its semi-annual client-only seminar, and this one was its biggest ever! We welcomed over 120 clients from all over the country for a weekend filled with experts sharing knowledge and, as always, a huge celebration of the Egyptian Arabian horse.

This weekend, we had 2 additional reasons to celebrate. First, exactly 19 years ago on April 5th, Thee Desperado was born! As he was presented in his beautiful Egyptian Event 11 Year Leading Sire blanket, a hush fell over the crowd, followed by cheers. With a birthday celebration fit for a king, Desperado “met” his Breyer horse likeness, enjoyed a carrot cake, and was serenaded with an acapella, folky rendition of “Happy Birthday” by the famous Dash Crofts, who owns one of his daughters with his wife Louise.
