Happy Birthday to Desperados Fatinah (Thee Desperado x Fariha Magidaa by *Shahir IASB) who turns 17 today!
Icon. An Influencer. A Gentleman of The Breed.
Thee Desperado, The Minstril and AK Amiri Asmarr by The Egyptian Prince, was so flawlessly beautiful the year he was pinned Champion Stallion at Scottsdale, that it truly didn't matter what type of Arabians you favored - you absolutely loved and respected this horse - hands down. Thee Desperado was simply that good.
Thee Desperado's pedigree boasted several close up crosses to the immortal *Morafic and "there ain't nothin' wrong with that." He counted on that *Morafic and Ruminaja Ali blood along with his tail female line of *Nabilahh, Farasha and Yosreia, to catapult him onto a siring level that only very few had reached - Thee Desperado literally exceeded that level. His color, like his sire's, made him unique as well, but then Ali's finest, it seems, came bathed in bay.
His influence as a sire, on a global level, leaves us dazzled to this day and that is an entirely separate post. Today it is just about the horse. Thee Desperado. The Icon that always stood proud. Thee Desperado was born in 1989 and died a few years back.
We thank the photographer, of course.
Jeff Wallace for The Horse and The Brand.
