Shadenn came into the Schmelzles’ life as an
aged mare but she produced the exquisite
Hanaa Al Badia sired by the incomparable
Al Adeed Al Shaqab. Born in 2008, Hanaa
Al Badia is the fulfillment of balance and
harmony in the flesh and in pedigree. Her
ancestry is the perfect balance of the stock
of Gleannloch, Ansata and Egypt’s renowned
Albadeia Stud. In fact this statement can also
be applied to her sire Al Adeed Al Shaqab, one
of the world’s most celebrated international
champions and a sire very much in demand.
Al Adeed Al Shaqab symbolizes the perfect
balance of influence from two of Egypt’s
most important foundation sires because
he imparts the classic look of Nazeer with
the structure and powerful reaching motion
of Sid Abouhom. For this reason he won
universal acclaim as Salon du Cheval World
Champion Stallion, US Egyptian Event
Supreme Champion Stallion, and Qatari
National Champion Stallion, to name a few.
Even with only one replacement daughter
for Shadenn, the Schmelzles made the ideal
choice in Al Adeed Al Shaqab as a male line
at their farm. The success of this combination
is illustrated in two much talked about mares:
Nouf Al Shaqab and Laian Al Shaqab. Both
are by Al Adeed Al Shaqab and from mares
who trace to Sharara’s full sister Nagwa.
Nouf Al Shaqab has many wins including
2008 Qatar International Show, 2nd in Top
5 Yearling fillies, and 2009 Egyptian Event
Europe - Gold Champion Filly. Following in
her footsteps, her full sister Laian Al Shaqab
went on to win 2009 Qatar International
Arabian Championships - 1st Place Yearling
Fillies, 2009 Egyptian Event Europe -
Bronze Champion Filly, 2009 Qatar Emir’s
Cup Arabian Show - 1st Place Yearling
Fillies, 2010 US Egyptian Event - Reserve
Champion Junior Filly, 2011 Egyptian Event
Europe - Silver Champion Junior Filly, 2011
US Egyptian Event - Champion Mare and
Unanimous Supreme Champion Female.
With this kind of proven formula, great
things are in store for Hanaa Al Badia.
