These noble creatures grazing in knee high grass enrich the lives of the Rogers family. Exquisite faced foals frolic in the pastures representing over thirty years of breeding passion and dedication.
Drawing from a palette of bloodlines much as an artist would use colors - Kehilan has woven together the finest in Egyptian Arabian bloodlines with an emphasis on Sameh, *Morafic and Imperial Madheen to create a gorgeous, expressive Arabian full of the charisma and extreme type sought after in the breed. A Vision is always unique to the Creator.
One of the only breeding programs in the World to concentrate on linebreeding Sameh bloodlines, Kehilan has studiously selected the best traits of the Sameh horses; balance, symmetry, strength, intelligence, motion and charisma and combined it with bloodlines that have added beauty, grace, vitality, elegance and refinement. The result is an Arabian of extreme type and classical proportions, that dances with tail held high and with luminous eyes reflecting the magic of the ages.
One of the only breeding programs worldwide to linebreed Sameh bloodlines.
We have linebred the Sameh sire line through his sons *Sultann and *Ibn Hafiza and their sons/grandsons Nabiel+/, Ibn Dahmahn and the ethereal, incomparable Makhsous. The mare lines found at Kehilan are foundation stock primarily representing bloodlines of five of the great historical Straight Egyptian breeding programs in the United States - Ansata Arabian Stud, Bentwood Farms, Gleannloch Farms, Kline Arabians and Somerset Farms. The bloodlines utilized most in the foundation mares are that of *Morafic and his sons; The Egyptian Prince, *Ibn Moniet El Nefous, *Shahks and Shaikh Al Badi blended with mares sired by *Ansata Ibn Halima, Ansata Shah Zaman, Ruminaja Bahjat and *Talal. Important female lines include Ansata Sabiha, Moniet El Nefous, *Magidaa, Bint Samiha, Bint Rissala, Zareefa, Bint El Bataa and Bint Hanaa. Imperial Madheen as well as the tail female line of Ansata Nile Mist, both representing Imperial Egyptian Stud were brought in specifically at a midway point to add their noted type and balance.
A Kehilan Arabian exudes extreme type and classical proportions, it dances with tail held high and is adorned with luminous eyes reflecting the magic of the ages.
At Kehilan we strive to produce a horse that is easily identified as an Arabian and furthermore readily defined as a Straight Egyptian Arabian. With the distinct type, classical proportions and historical character that has defined the breed for thousands of years. Purity of blood, strength of pedigree and genetics are important factors in our decisions. A family endeavor with an average of ten foals a year it has required dedication, passion and perseverance to achieve the vision we have of our ideal Arabian.
