Blackwood farm welcomes the arrival of El-Masri Ghazal (pending).

On 7 July 2018 at Moyston, Victoria, Halimas Danielle successfully completed her third 80 km ride. This amazing little mare is now beginning preparations for her first tilt at the Tom Quilty to be held in Scottsdale, Tasmania, in October.

The beautiful El-Masri Gamilah (Laheeb Al Rayyan x Halimas Fayshana (x Fayrid imp USA) is in foal to GR Amarillo (imp Germany) (Classic Shadwan x Halim’s Asmara (x Ansata Halim Shah)) with the foal due in October 2018. Amarillo stands at Seven Oaks Arabians and we would like to thank Leigh Jamieson of Seven Oaks for the opportunity to use this wonderful stallion. Amarillo is a maternal grandson of the legendary Ansata Halim Shah and a paternal grandson of Alidaar. He is also a full brother to the outstanding German stallion G R Amaretto and the German champion mare G R Amaretta. This will be Gamilah’s first foal and we look forward to its arrival with great anticipation.

Sadeek successfully completed a number of 80km rides and had recently completed his first 100km ride, finishing 3rd , with Daniel Noble aboard. We wish him and his new owners every success in the future.

We are pleased to announce the sale of the very athletic El-Masri Nadeem to Toft Endurance.  Having just completed his first 20 km ride Nadeem impressed with his smooth, long action.  Nadeem is out of the very beautiful Halimas Haleekha who is also the dam of El-Masri Sadeek who is successfully competing in endurance having recently completed his third 80km ride.

We are both pleased and a little disappointed to announce the sale of El-Masri Jadeed to HH Sheik Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. 

Blackwood Farm welcomes the arrival of the beautiful bay colt, El-Masri Tahyesh (pending).  This colt is earmarked as a future sire of the stud.  He is everything a sire should be; an outstanding individual with a world class pedigree.    By Jadaan Al Shaqab (Ashhal Al Rayyan x Torfa Al Shaqab (x Al Adeed Al Shaqab)) and out of Lady Rosemary of Seven Oaks (Asfour x Simeon Sagee (x Imperial Madaar)) Tahyesh combines the very best of Australian and international bloodlines.”

We are pleased to announce the safe arrival of a beautiful new grey (born chestnut) colt foal by Arinya Park Al Amar out of our wonderful mare, Halimas Fayshana. This is Fayshana’s second foal and is proof positive of her exceptional qualities as a broodmare. As yet unnamed, this extremely typey little fellow has a beautiful head and a long fine neck set on a well laid back shoulder. Fayshana will now be bred to Halimas El Nizr for a 2015 foal.  Photo: Laureen Schmidt
