Ansata El Naseri proved to be an exceptional broodmare sire,
and many of his daughters went on to reproduce the excellent
qualities they inherited from their sire. One such mare was Bint
Faras Azali (Ansata El Naseri x Faras Azali, by Fehris), born in
1983. In 1994 at the age of 11 she joined Ansata Arabian Stud
in Mena, Arkansas. At Ansata she produced foals that went on
to become important foundation horses in several countries.
Ansata Farah (Ansata
Hejazi x Bint Faras
Azali, by Ansata El
Naseri) was sold
to
Whitehaven
Plantation and then
later exported to Al
Baydaa Stud in Egypt.
Another full sibling
Ansata Riyal (Ansata
Hejazi x Bint Faras
Azali, by Ansata El
Naseri) was shown to
1998 Egyptian Event
EBC Champion Colt
and exported to Bait
Al Arab in Kuwait. A third full sibling, Ansata Fayrouz (Ansata Hejazi x Bint Faras Azali, by
Ansata El Naseri), was sold to Abraxas Arabians in California. Orienta Arabians in Germany
acquired the full siblings Ansata Azali and Ansata Riyadh (Ansata Iemhotep x Bint Faras Azali
by Ansata El Naseri). Ansata Azali has gone on to found her own dynasty at Orienta, having
produced many beautiful daughters sired by Farres and Al Adeed Al Shaqab.

In 1975 Willis Flick traveled to Egypt, where he purchased
additional foundation stock for Glenglade. One of his new
acquisitions was the mare *Sharara (Kayed x Anzar by El
Sareei), bred by Dr. Sayed Marei’s famed Albadeia Stud.
*Sharara descends from the Hanaa dam line of the Inshass
Stud of Egypt; from a Saqlawi mare who was gifted to ex-King
Farouk by King Saoud. *Sharara was imported to the US as
a yearling, then later bred to Ansata El Naseri to produce El
Sharie. El Sharie was retained as a broodmare by Glenglade
for many years. Under Barbara Berry Mikkelsen’s ownership
El Sharie was bred to Shaikh Al Badi, the 1973 US National
Reserve Champion Futurity Colt, to produce the typey and
influential flea-bitten grey Shadenn. Continuing her long dam
line of excellent producing mares, Shadenn’s daughters have
become invaluable foundationmares. Shadenn produced DSA
Bint Shadenn (by *Shahir) for Dogwood Springs Arabians in
Texas, and Hanaa Al Badia (by *Al Adeed Al Shaqab) for Al
Badia Arabian Stud in Kansas.
