Rafeef

Leafy Bullet Rafeef Leafy Bullet
GSB #693

Color: Chestnut
Sex: Stallion
Foaled: 1917

Sire: Nasik (Rijm x Narghileh by Mesaoud)

Dam: Riyala (Astraled x Ridaa by Merzuk)

Breeder: Crabbet Arabian Stud
Sussex, England

Sire of 12 registered purebred Arabian foals (7 colts and 5 fillies) including his son *Mirzam (see Masyra) and his two daughters Risslina and *Rasafa who are all of significance mid-pedigree in Arieana's Arabians.

From our Arieana Notebook: Rafeef is highly regarded and uniquely appreciated in the pedigrees of Arieana Arabians for his carrying forth not only his sire *Nasik's brilliant, elegant style and way of going, but for bringing us two lines each in his own pedigree of the incomparables Mesaoud and *Rose of Sharon, thusly intensifying for us the influence of these two greats from out of the past on into our own modern-day CMK Arabian Horse preservation breeding practices.

Lady Wentworth wrote these glowing words about Rafeef: "Good head, long neck, fine action, beautiful galloping stride. Immense eyes and extra long mane and tail. Good shoulder and legs. A flashing beauty of golden buttercup brilliance. Brilliantly carried head and tail. Wanted by everyone." (A Century of Crabbet Breeding. Crabbet Organisation. 2002. p 25.)

Rafeef was also highly appreciated by W.K. Kellogg for his contribution as a sire in the pedigrees of *Rissletta and *Rasafa, and we at Arieana Arabians still see Rafeef's remarkable influence today in our own brilliant, rising star and future herd sire Haat Pursuit with his double Haat Shaat pedigree.

*Rasafa

Leafy Bullet *Rasafa Leafy Bullet
AHR #602

Color: Chestnut
Sex: Mare
Foaled: January 1, 1926

Sire: Rafeef (Nasik x Riyala by Astraled)

Dam: *Rasima (Daoud x Rose of Hind by Rejeb)

Breeder: Crabbet Arabian Stud
Sussex, England

Dam of 4 registered purebred Arabian foals (1 colt and 3 fillies) including Antafa (see Nawari) who is of significance mid-pedigree in Arieana's Arabians.

Line Break

From our Arieana Notebook: *Rasafa was only a suckling foal when she was imported on January 10, 1926 by W.K. Kellogg along with her dam *Rasima. Although considered small at maturity, *Rasafa was an enjoyable mare under saddle. Shown in the Kellogg Ranch's Sunday Shows under English tack by a young girl (photo above), *Rasafa gave a pleasing performance with plenty of animation and a good trot. This same agreeable disposition comes down to us today at Arieana Arabians through her daughter Antafa by Antez (see Nawari).
