Preservation Breeders of Straight Babson Egyptians

Charabs Sharifa was foaled in Wyoming and came to us as a two year old.

We had been to see her sire, Kamars Sharif, several times over the years.  We greatly admired him.  He was a smooth, well balanced and gentle athlete.  Sharif was owned by Ellie Prince and Dorothy Feldman and spent almost all of his life living at Sodergreen Ranch near Cheyenne Wyoming.

Sodergreen is part of the ranch where Mary O'Hara wrote My Friend Flicka.  The landmarks described in the book can be seen while walking the Sodergreen pastures.  Imagine looking at shining mares grazing on a hillside and being told "Just over that ridge is the valley were the Albino and his herd lived!"  It was an experience not to be missed!

Sharifa is a kind, quiet and sensible mare.   She is very friendly  and easy to live with.

Sharifa's beautiful 2005 chestnut colt by Bedu Sabir, Ashkar el Khebir was the first sireline Khebir St. Babson colt born in 18 years.  Sadly he was lost to a opportunistic virus at 10 months.  Photos of Ashkar el Khebir   

A full sister was born in 2007, we are celebrating Khebirs Akelah!

Sharifa's dam Charabs Amurra is one of 3 full sisters and 3 full brothers sired by Charab from Mahroufs Amira.  Of the forty foals sired by Charab from 1973  to 1995, these 6 are the only straight Babsons.   Charab's line has some horses in it that are rare in today's Babson lines.
