From our Arieana Notebook: Tahas was highly regarded for his strength, athleticism, and beautiful movement, traits which he consistently passed on to his foals. At Arieana Arabians, Tahas is significant to us in our pedigrees for carrying forward one branch of the Rahas sire line through his son Haat Shaat, a stallion widely renown for his winnings ways in Park Horse classes and who appears twice in the pedigree of our own rising star and future herd sire Goldfire AA (Blitzen of Pico x Gleeful Pico). Through another son Galahas we find the Tahas cross three times in the pedigree of the Sport Horse and Liberty Champion Ibn Aulrab (Aulrab x Haapey Pico). And we delight when we see this lovely prize-winning action, and we take great pride in the promise that this traditional Mesaoud sire line elegance with superb motion will continue on into the future generations as these two young stallions take their rightful places in the sun with foals of their own.

From our Arieana Notebook: Tamma is long-remembered by those who knew her at Margaret Gray Gizzi's GZ Ranch in Ojai, California as a very sweet and very beautiful mare and one who actually chose Margaret. The story as told to us by Becky Nardi from her family's memory album relates that Margaret Gray Gizzi ("Margie") was horse shopping one day at Kellogg's, and as Margie passed by Tamma's corral, Tamma came running to the fence and put her head on Margie's shoulder. That was it! Home she went with Margie to spend the rest of her days at the GZ Ranch. At first quite thin, skittish, and fearful of men, under Margie's kind and thoughtful care and guidance and with their bonding complete right from the very beginning, Tamma regained her health and vigor and learned to trust again. "It is amazing that Tamma even lived let alone bring forth such an amazing horse as Tahas. It makes my head spin to think that if things had been different that line [Haat Shaat] would never have come to be!" (Personal communications from Becky Nardi. January 9-20, 2006.)
