What do you expect from a top stallion besides type and overall quality? Yes - masculine expression and charisma. And this is what ZEYMOON EL NABIL represents in full spirit. So easy to handle with and without a lead, and a true stallion in each second!
The bay straight Egyptian comes from a famous family and bloodline base. His sire is the "Elite Stallion", the late NABIL IBN NAZEEFA, his dam is the MAYMOON daughter ZENAYA BINT ZEENAH, who was shown only once and succeeded to TOP TEN at the 1986 Asil Cup International show. She is one of the few remianing, exquisite daughters of MAYMOON, a stallion and sire who passed away aged 11 years due to a fatal accident - much too early for such a top quality sire!
The 1977 born NABIL IBN NAZEEFA himself was never shown, at his time it was not necessary to promote a stallion in Europe through shows but by his qualities and success as sire. This is what the bay NABIL IBN NAZEEFA did, he created his reputation as sire by producing excellent sons and daughters! At five-years old, NABIL IBN NAZEEFA passed the 100-day-Stallions Performance Test, a legal requirement in Germany in those days for each stallion breeding, and he finished as Reserve Champion.
ZEYMOON EL NABIL much resembles his sire and dam, even his grandsire on dam's side, MAYMOON. Born in 1988, the time for showing off with show success for a stallion increased and came more and more important. So his breeder and owner, Frank Filsinger from Filsinger Arabians, in Germany, took ZEYMOON to some shows in Europe in 1994 and 1995, and with his overall appearance and balance, his type, his long elegant neck, and his great movements, ZEYMOON won several titles, amongst, European Straight Egyptian Stallion reserve at the Egyptian Event Europe, and Belgian National Champion reserve. This last title was during the time when he was based in Belgium for one year, and had to enter the Belgian Studbook as of breeding. At that time, Belgium was still the country of the great movers, and it came to a surprise for many, that a straight Egyptian can compete and is able to win there. ZEYMOON was - yes, he is a straight Egyptian, accepted from all major organizations of this breeding direction, like the Pyramid Society, the Asil Club, the Al Khamsa, the Blue List - and proving that Egyptians not only have type, but also size, correct legs, long necks and excellent powerful movement!
ZEYMOON also proved his quality as a sire. As his owner stayed in a very private for some years, only enjoying his horses at his studfarm, ZEYMOON did not get the true chance a stallion normally would get by producing a larger number of foals. However, his youngest daughter, the 2006 born MAROUA BINT MINDIF, is the glamour of her sire and her family's bloodlines, and will stay at Filsinger Arabians Stud as a future broodmare and excellent representative of ZEYMOON EL NABIL's prepotency as sire.
