First Mishaal/Desperado-bred foal photo!

As our friends and clients around the world know, Arabians Ltd. spent many years searching for an outcross sire for our Thee Desperado-bred herd. After searching the Egyptian Arabian world over multiple times, we finally acquired the German-bred Mishaal HP in 2004. We bred our best broodmares to him, waited on the edge of our seats, and welcomed his first foals in 2005. After three years of raising those babies, we had the first opportunity in 2008 to breed Mishaal HP‘s oldest daughters to Thee Desperado and his sons. Our long wait to see the result of this breeding was finally over on January 12th with the momentous birth of a grey colt (Thee Desperado x Madina RCA by Mishaal HP).

To commemorate this event, Arabians Ltd. is proud to release the first baby portrait of Madina RCA‘s foal! Madina RCA (Mishaal HP x U Liteupmylife), out of one of Judy’s favorite mares, now holds a place in Arabians Ltd. history with the birth of this stunning Thee Desperado colt. As we reflect on this occasion, Jim and Judy Sirbasku would like to congratulate all who have been involved with Mishaal HP and his offspring. Arabians Ltd. looks forward to continued success with our snow-white stallion as a new chapter in our breeding program begins.
