During the 2008 Egyptian Event, Paradise owner Wanda Kenworthy received a special gift–a new “filly!” Her miniature donkeys, Fred and Ethel, produced Lucy, an adorable little jenny! Ethel, an first-time mother, wasn’t quite sure what to do with Lucy, so Wanda has taken over the duties while Lucy is still small enough to fit in her lap (we’ll see how long that lasts!). Welcome to Lucy, who will have a great life here among the happy group of animals here at Paradise!

Strikingly gorgeous straight Egyptian Arabian 2-year-old stallion Thee Fyresteed (Mishaal HP x Thee Crystabelle) will return to the home of his ancestors for his new owner, Naser Moushtaha.

At the 2008 Egyptian Event, Thee Fyresteed won the Male Championship in the Most Classic Head contest, and he was purchased the same day by Jon and Mindy Peters of El Capitan Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. Just days later at the Event, Naser Moushtaha of Egypt bought him to take home for his own breeding program! There was much buzz about Fyresteed during the show, and many admirers visited him at the Paradise stalls.

Paradise would like to extend a very special thank you to those who helped make this year’s Egyptian Event such a fantastic success for us! Paradise owner Wanda Kenworthy worked tirelessly with the help of clients Tim Follis, Valerie Clinkenbeard, Donna Rovere and Mary Putman to “put on” our biggest show yet, and their behind-the-scenes efforts made everything run smoothly. From prepping for parties to taking care of the little details that help a show of this size come together, we are blessed with a family of friends who give of their time to help Paradise be better. Thank you!

In a beautifully poetic turn of events, our very first Egyptian Arabian, the world-famous, black mare Alia Riyala, yesterday gave us the very first filly ever sired by our young stallion Scapa, who is already making quite a name for himself in the show world. Scapa was bred by Paradise, so this filly is part of the third generation of our breeding program, which is impressive for an endeavor that began in 1994!

The chestnut filly, to be named Bint Alia Riyala, will be kept for the Paradise broodmare band and will continue the legacy of her great mother. Read the rest of this entry »

Scapa is on a roll with his first crop of foals! This new filly is out of our pure Polish Arabian mare, Mistreak. Mistreak is a proven producer of racing champions, and the result of breeding her to the fast, athletic and strong-bodied Scapa is very exciting!

What a week-long celebration the 2008 Egyptian Event was! The Paradise gang (below) spent time at our brand new “Old Western Town” in Barn #7 on the beautiful, green Kentucky Horse Park grounds. A complete list of results follows, but our horses brought home multiple 10 CHAMPIONSHIPS, 5 Reserve Championships, and 10 Top Ten ribbons! We’re so proud of the hard work head trainer Misty Kenworthy and her staff did in preparing these 15 lovely horses for the show, and in the success our clients had with their beautiful, top-quality Egyptian Arabians!

On Saturday, May 17th, Paradise opened its doors to visitors interested in celebrating the finest Egyptian Arabian horses around! Nearly 100 people and a radio station came to Paradise’s 2nd Annual Egyptian Day in May, held in conjunction with The Pyramid Society, on a beautiful, sunny day. Paradise invited experts in performance including English trainer Christine Johnston and endurance trainer and champion Susan Thompson, who has ridden to her major victories on Egyptian Arabians purchased from Paradise (above, champion gelding Thee MaCade)! J-103, a station out of nearby Chattanooga, provided a mobile broadcast for the afternoon from Paradise’s brand-new covered arena. Read the rest of this entry »

In late 2006, Paradise sold a young straight Egyptian stallion (Thee Asil x Infidels Princess) to Peter and Vivienne Hall of Fairview Arabian Stud in Australia. Fairview has been in business for over 30 years and has bred numerous Australian and American National Champion Arabians (including Fairview Classique). This marks the first time Fairview has bred Egyptian and Egyptian-sired Arabians, and we’re so honored that they selected one of our colts to begin this legacy. They think so much of him that they’ve named him Al Kha-Zar, which is Arabic for “The Promise of the Future.”

The Halls have now bred Al Kha-Zar and have produced his first foal, a straight Egyptian Arabian filly named Fairview Nile Princess (out of Coolong Park Haanica), and everyone is thrilled with the result.

See more photos of Al Kha-Zar and his first foal, and read owner Peter Hall’s comments about him.
