Allayah was sired by Odysseus HF bred by Hope Farms of Cove, Arkansas and breeders of Egyptian Arabians for over 40 years. Odysseus HF is full brother to HF Sybel who has been exported to Israel and traces to the Queen of the Nile, Moniet El Nefous, through his three grandparents. Once through *Ansata Bint Mabrouka via Ansata Shah Zaman, once through *Bint Mona via The Egyptian Prince and again through Moniet El Nefous' only direct daughter imported to the U.S., *Bint Moniet El Nefous. He expresses those genetic qualities very well both as an individual and even moreso as a sire. As an individual, Odysseus has a handsomely masculine, slightly dished head that is triangular in shape with a prominent jaw. His ears are small and well set and he bends nicely at the poll. His neck is of good length, set and used well and ties in nicely to well-laid back, well-developed shoulders that are free moving. His chest is wide, deep and well muscled. His ribs are well-sprung with a deep barrel and good heart girth. His forearms are long, his cannons short, his knees large and flat. He has good bone, large round hooves and strong pasterns. His topline is admirable with a relatively short back, long hip and flat croup. He drives deep from his hocks and pounds out the trot with riveting action. A masculine, yet beautiful athlete that is tractable, intelligent and gentle, he is easily handled without a chain or whip and most often without a halter. He does not strike, bite, rear, kick or make other aggressive behaviors towards humans. He is proving to be a prolific sire passing many qualities to his foals. He has added correct legs and feet, as well as overall quality, refinement, smoothness of body, thinness of skin, fineness of coat, desert dryness, overall conformational balance, beauty, spark, motion and pizzaz. With limited showings and use, he is sire to a few notable foals which can be found in ourBreeding Philosophy.
