This mare has a very interesting pedigree. I purchased her from Blue Moon
Farms in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. There was something in her sale advertisement that made me just have
to have her. She was sold without papers, they were lost at the time. Paige gave me all the information that Shady was sold
to her and her mother with. All that was known was her age, and that she was a purebred Arabian from that general area. I
started searching immediately, and 2 years later I finally know who she is. As it turns out, Shady and her dam were on
the same owner report as my first mare, KW Isis. Isis and Shady's dam, Bali Hai Tiffany, were used in the same broodmare band.
I called the listed owner, Briggs McGee, and after talking for about half an hour comparing notes, she went to this site and
said the photos looked like the mare she owned,Debzak, so I sent more as she wanted to be completely certain. She has totally
identified her as the mare she once owned.
Debzak, as it turns out, is 81.25% Arabian Foundation Bred, as her
dam is an American Arabian Foundation mare, who also appears in the Arab Horse Legacy video file. Her sire, Ansata Zaki Halim,
is Straight Egyptian, Al Khamsa, and Heirloom/El Deree. He just missed being qualified for American Foundation at being 62.5%,
with the qualifying percent at 75%.
