Congratulations to Ray and Marcia Ellis of Two Mountain Ranch on their acquisition of Amir El Rashid. Amir El Rashid is an excellent young stallion that was bred with structure and performance in mind both genotypically and phenotypically. As a coming three year old with more growing to do, he exhibited everything we look for in a performance prospect and more at this stage of growth. Starting from the tip of his nose, he has large expansive nostrils on a tapered muzzle on the end of prominent tear bones atop a large jowl. His head is handsome with a good dish and good width between his dark eyes. He bends well at the poll from an upright neck of good length that ties in smoothly to prominent withers and a nicely laid back well developed shoulder (24.5") that attaches to a good length of humerous (15.5"). His forearms (14.5") are nearly double the length of his cannons (7.5") with good bone (8.5") and large joints on nicely sloped medium length pasterns attached to large round black hooves that are as dense and tough as can be. His back is relatively short and strong with a well-sprung rib cage extending to within two inches of his hip bone with 71.5" depth of heart girth. Moving to his hindquarters, the point of his lumbar sacral joint is within 2" to an imaginary line extending across from point of hips giving him a smooth, strong coupling with good depth of hip (20") that are slightly sloping with properly angled rear limbs enabling him to drive deep under himself for good impulsion. His stifle is prominent and appropriately squared with 21" from buttock to stifle joint. His gaskins are well developed and hocks nicely let down with rear cannons about 1" longer than the front cannons. In motion, he carries his tail in a flag position sometimes curling it over his back in exhuberance. This young stallion will be exciting to follow over the years, and we look forward to his essence in full bloom. JEVA Farms LLC is very proud of Amir El Rashid and wishes Two Mountain Ranch the best with him in their future.

Amir El Rashid is sired by Amir El Fareed a JEVA bred stallion who was spotted by an agent for His Royal Highness Prince Bandar Al Faisul as a handsome two year old colt.

Amir El Rashid's dam is *MB Jamillsa, our best producing broodmare. Jamillsa is a culmination of the best attributes of her ancestors - her pedigree has been expertly blended. Her disposition is much like that of her grandam and great-grandam, Hanan, as described in Dr. Nagel's book entitled "Hanan: The Story of an Arabian Mare and of the Arabian Breed". Her head can accurately be described as extreme and exotic with a large, dark, soft, eye. Her muzzle fits perfectly into the cup of a woman's hand and her features are that of quality and refinement. Her thin, supple skin is covered by a soft, fine, shiny coat that sheds out to a "clipped" finish. She was foaled in 1995, is straight Egyptian, Al Khamsa and bay in color standing just over 15 hands. She is graceful and elegant with superb performance potential because of her free moving shoulders, incredible reaching trot and her ability to drive deep up under herself for impulsion. Jamillsa has a long, slender neck with extraordinary flexion, good overall balance, straight legs and a good croup. An outstanding producer for JEVA Farms and our most honored brodmare. The sire side of Jamillsa's pedigree is chock full of champions and champion producer: She is sired by Imperial Saturn, a 1994 United States National Top Ten Champion Stallion, a 1995 and 1996 Egyptian Event Reserve Champion in Country English Pleasure Jr. horses and Open respectively as well as finishing 3rd on the cards in Region 9 Ladies Western Sidesaddle Open(only his 2nd time shown in this class!) behind the National and Reserve Champions. .

Imperial Mistilll was sired by *Jamilll a United States National Top Ten Champion Stallion, a competitive dressage mount in Germany and a son of the incomparable mare, Hanan, of Dr. Hans Nagel's Katherinenhof Stud. Hanan is the dam and grandam of some very well-known arabians and her influence spans the World. In her lifetime, she produced 11 foals, including the aforementioned *Jamilll. She is the dam of Asfour, of the famous Simeon Stud in Australia. Asfour is the sire of World Reserve Senior Champion Stallion, Simeon Sadik and Ibn Galal I, the sire of *Ibn Galal 1-7, a United States Top Ten National Champion Mare. Hanan is also the dam of Salaa El Dine the sire of the more recent import, *Shahir, who is also a multi-champion stallion. *Jamilll's sire is Madkour I the 1972 and 1982 National Champion Stallion of West Germany as well as a multi-National Champion producing sire.

The dam's side of Jamillsa's pedigree is equally impressive being out of the *Jamilll daughter, Bint Jamilla* who was exported to Australia in 1997. Bint Jamilla is out of the *Ansata Ibn Halima daughter, Monisa Halima who's dam AK Monisa Moniet sold for $560,000.00 at the Bentwood Spectacular sale in the 80's.
