EGYPTIANS TAKE TOP HONORS AT THE SALON DU CHEVAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
The 2006 Salon Du Cheval World Championship, which took place in Paris, France, from December 8-10th, proved to be a monumental success for the Egyptian Arabian horse. Al Lahab (Laheeb x The Vision HG), owned by Pyramid Society members Hans and Inge Friedmann and 2006 Egyptian Event Supreme Champion Stallion, wowed the world and took the title of Senior World Champion Stallion. Loubna (Imperial Imdal x Imperial Kalatifa), owned by Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi of Ajman, took the title of Reserve Senior World Champion Mare. Loubna is no stranger to the Salon du Cheval, winning the title of 2004 Senior World Champion Mare. The title of Junior World Champion Colt was won by the Straight Egyptian colt Royal Colours (True Colours x Extreme Wonder (x The Elixir)), owned by Gubbiotti Giampaolo and bred by Pyramid Society members Matthew and Sherry Zischkau of Arabians of Distinction, Titusville, PA. Congratulations to all the Egyptian owners and breeders at this year’s Salon du Cheval!
