The *Ibn Hafiza daughters were bred by Cowling. As was one stallion who has "slipped through the crack." Since I wanted to repeat the same breeding that produced Star, I spent 2 years trying to find CAS Azure Star.

           The *Ibn Hafiza daughters came here around 8 years ago. Zarife Katun was bred to her granson SAR Casure Star. She was diagnosed with EMP soon after being bred. We kept her mobile until the foal was three months old. Hisani Mustajil was sold and gelded before he settled a mare. This tragedy coupled with the fact that the two other mares have only produced 1 filly each is going to make the FTSM w/*Ibn Hafiza group tough to survive, since both mares are 20.

           This year I leased the IBN SIRECHO son LE ENCORE. They were both bred, not yet confirmed in foal.

           SAR Casure Star has crossed very well with Egyptian-Crabbet-Polish mares. He produces foals with long legs and Abbayan characteristics. He has been bred to Amira Tiffany three times and has produced three very nice fillies: Amira Malika, Amira Jaleezah, Amira Jasmine and has been bred to her for a 1998 foal. Tiffany is Crabbet/Polish/ Egyptian, a *Tuhutmos granddaughter she has a nice head and is about 15.1. Her two mature daughters are taller than that. Malika and Jaleezah have done quite well in the show circuit.
