In Memory: Legendary Sire The Minstril
The Minstril, 1984-2010
Arabians Ltd. fondly remembers former herd sire The Minstril (Ruminaja Ali x *Bahila), who passed away peacefully this weekend at his retirement home, Paradise Arabians. Paradise did an outstanding job of caring for the 26-year-old stallion in his retirement, and he was loved by all who knew him there. His proud presence is already missed by his former groom Shawn Crews, Arabians Ltd. owner Judy Sirbasku, and The Minstril’s breeders and former owners David and Marion Gardner, who wish to thank Paradise owners Gary and Wanda Kenworthy for their kind, respectful treatment of the horse they all loved so well. His loss will be felt by many in the straight Egyptian and Arabian community at large, for his influence as a sire was international and cannot be overestimated.

A special thank you to all of those who made up the 2010 Arabians Ltd. Team. As Jim Sirbasku used to say, “Together, everybody achieves more.” That is certainly our mantra for the Egyptian Event. To each of you who entrusted those of us from the Arabians Ltd. Show Division with your very best, we’re extremely grateful. No team works harder than the Arabians Ltd. crew at this magical show.
Thank you to David Reissig, Mike Cimino, Mike Danos and Vincent Young for the most amazing setup we’ve ever experienced! Your long hours and unimaginably hard work on making our barn area the most enjoyable ever is appreciated more than you know!
