Arabian Horse Times and Jeff Wallace European Summer Tour of 2015
Eks Alihandro
(Marwan Al Shaqab to Ruminaja Ali to Nazeer x OFW Psylhouette by Padrons Psyche to Patron to Nazeer and to a Bloomerod tail female line of Polish/Russian descent)
Bred by Willie Brown of South Africa and Owned by Prince Abdul Aziz of Athbah Stud and managed by Ward Bemong. Alihandro is standing at Giacomo Capacci Arabians in Italy where he is beautifully managed and cared for.
I have always heard how amazing this young stallion is but it was not until Giacomo’s Open House this year that I laid eyes on the mighty Alihandro. I was beyond dazzled and still thinking about that moment quite often. Honestly, I can’t wait to see him again as he carries all the good of the brilliant show and breeding stallions that stand behind him, such as Marwan Al Shaqab, Gazal Al Shaqab, *Padron, Padrons Psyche, Fame VF+ and Bey Shah+, along with the immortal *Bask++. It is very few horses that take only the best and leave the rest – Alihandro is one of the few.
And yes, he is a Paris and Aachen Gold Champion and more, with Giacomo Capacci at the lead, but it is the Essence of Alihandro that will leave you awe-struck and wanting more.
Alihandro, like his sire Marwan Al Shaqab, is a King.
Thank you Erwin Escher for a beautiful photograph of a horse laying claim to the entire arena.
