At the last weekend in September each year, the international show society met in Aachen for the famous 'All Nations Cup' Show.
ASH competed with three horses, and we are very happy about the result in this prestigeous and major international show.
In the tuff class of Yearling Fillies, ASH Donatella entered the ring in the second group moving as usual in her exciting action and accompanied by a big applause from the public. She lined up in the awarding as third in her class. ASH Dream of Glory was placed 5th in the "Two-Year-old Colts". And our senior stallion DIPLOMATT had the pleasure to compete in the ridden class with our resident trainer, Sabrina Joiser, and they together became 5th - a wonderful success for us!

The Belgian Nationals were held last weekend, at 6th & 7th of September, and ASH participated with three horses:
ASH Donatella moved again like a machine and became 2nd in class, this tie in points to the 1st placed. ASH Dream of Glory, ended up third in his class, also tie in points to the 2nd, that was also to pride for us as breeders, his earlier stablemate, two-year-old ASH Antares (Ekstern x La Diva), sold to Al Khaled Farm, Sheikh Khaled Bagido last year. And to our great pleasure, our Dahlia (CH El Brillo x Dahma) finally showed this time her potentials in self confident way, and won in 3-year-old Fillies!

The annual 'Elran Cup' in Belgium had a new loaction in 2008, a lovely place in Hasselt, which is about 20 km next to the former place Borgloon. Rated again as ECAHO A-show, the international audience and show community met during 16./17. August to see some high quality horses and a nice show in Hasselt.
For Arabian Sun Horses, it became a very exciting weekend, our two youngsters and homebred horses winning the class each:
first it was our yearling filly ASH Donatella, who moved into the ring like a Ferrari, full of power and speed, and posed thenafter like a longterm show profi to be judged in high scores to be the class winner. Some minutes later, our two-year-old ASH Dream of Glory, came in, again moving in his best, and achieving the first place in his class. Both are by WH Justice tracing back in tail female line to our foundation mare NA Divina. The Elran Cup 2008 made us happy as show participants, but also proud as breeders.

12. August 2008

Our three-year-old colt HAROUN made some more and new footsteps in the showring and in his list of records: during the weekend of 9th to 10th of August, he competed at the so-named LOWLAND Cup, an International B-show held in Exloo, Holland, and succeeded as second in his class.

04. August 2008

At the 'Arabesque' Baden-Baden International Festival,
held at the famous racetrack in Iffezheim during the last weekend in July, there had been offered the so-named 'Egyptian Cup' for straight Egyptian horses, and an International ECAHO B-rated show, in which we had two of our homebred horses competing: the yearling filly ASH DONATELLA (WH Justice x Dahma), and the three-year-old colt HAROUN (El Amin x Hanina).

Both youngsters gave a very good presentation, showing their excellent powerful movement, and both succeeded in a top ranking of their individual class: ASH DONATELLA became third in the huge class of Yearling Fillies, and HAROUN participated as second of his class in the final championship competition.

21. July 2008

The show season continues! And until, it was really lovely to see and experience the 2008 records of our homebred youngsters competing this year. After the several success in the last few weeks in the national and international C- and B-rated ECAHO shows, we decided to send our two-year-old colt ASH DREAM OF GLORY to the International A-rated show in Vilhelmsborg, Denmark, held on 19th and 20th of July. And he really made us happy, returning in success as 'Top Five' overall Colt of this high class show. Now we are looking foward and are really curious to seehow the rest of the year and shows in 2008 will go ahead.

09. July 2008

This year and show season offer us really a lot of pleasure!
At the "Emerald Trophy", the International B-show in Brecht, Belgium, held on 5. and 6. of July, ASH participated with three horses, each resulting in a nice success: ASH Dream of Glory became second placed in his class of Two-Year-Colts; HAROUN was second in class 'Three-Year-old Colts'. And a special pleasure we had to see our senior stallion, DIPLOMATT, winning the ridden class and Dreassage A 7. He also was 3rd in the Dressage A6.
The rider each time was ASH resident trainer, Sabrina Joiser.

Our homebred yearling filly ASH Donatella (out of Dahma) gave her show debut and won immediately a wonderful 2nd place in her strong class of yearling fillies.

Our two-year-old homebred colt ASH Dream of Glory (out of Donna Diva) became also 2nd in his class while making a real good show.

Both, ASH Donatella and ASH Dream of Glory, are by WH Justice.

Another moment and result of our presently very busy and active time - and another client starting to share our breeding and programme:
our homebred, 2006 born filly, ASH Lavignia, by CH El Brillo, out of our homebred, but sold broodmare Hanisha (Diplomatt x Hanina) was just purchased by Bertrand Licop, from Belgium, who is happy to include this lovely filly to his barn and breeding programme.
Congratulations to the new owner, and good luck to both of them.

30. May 2007

Congratulations to Al Khaled Farm/ Sheikh Khaled Ahmed Bagedo, from Egypt, for his purchase of our young superstar, the most promising yearling colt, ASH Antares. He was special since born! Out of our La Diva, and by Triple Crown Winner, Ekstern, he is a younger full brother to Donna Diva. ASH Antares was based from us at the Schoukens Training Center to be trained for the Frankfurt 2007 International Show end of May, when Sheikh Bagedo saw him. He was fascinated by this yearling boy, asked for the price, and purchased him! ASH Antares was entered by ASH to the Frankfurt show, but competed there already for Al Khaled Farm. It was not easy to let this colt go, but he will have a great future with Al Khaled Farm, and we wish them all the best.

28. May 2007

The Frankfurt International ECAHO B-rated show, held at
27. May 2007, gave some nice and happy moments to "Arabian Sun Horses": our 2006 born, homebred colt, ASH Antares (Ekstern x La Diva), won his class of Yearling Colts and became Reserve Champion Colt. Frankfurt was his very first show ever, and became an immediate success. Now we are looking forward to his future. Thanks to Schoukens Training Center, for presenting this lovely colt for us to the audience and judges.

Congratulations to Francois-Xavier van Hoorebeke, from Belgium, for the purchase of our three-year-old, homebred colt HALIM.
HALIM is a son of World Reserve Champion EL AMIN, and out of our wonderful broodmare HANINA, coming from the N.A.DIVINA family. She also produced HALIM's one year younger full brother, HAROUN who is based with us at 'Arabian Sun Horses' and supposed to be shown in 2007.
HALIM was the 2006 Reserve Champion Colt at the Oud-Heverlee show in Belgium, and we are happy that he has now such a nice new home and owner who really appreciates this young stallion.

January 2007

Congratulations to Mrs. Sally Roberts and "Mirage Arabians", Great Britain, for their purchase of ASH bred mare HANISHA.
HANISHA is a 1999 born daughter of our stallion DIPLOMATT,
and out of our HANINA (Warandes Plakat x N.A.Divina). Shown in national and international level for some years, she achieved several successes, among, the title as Belgian National Champion Filly. For the last two years, HANISHA stayed with us at ASH to start her career as broodmare. And improved with her first filly, the 2006 born ASH LAVIGNIA (by CH El Brillo). ASH LAVIGNIA will be remained at "Arabian Sun Horses" to continue this line. We wish Mrs. Sally Roberts and HANISHA all the best for their future.

Broodmares - The Treasures,
and the Key to consistant Quality!

In December 2006, right in time for the World Championships in Paris, the new edition of our ASH studfarm brochure became published - presenting our broodmares, starting with foundation mare N.A.Divina and her daughters, to be continued with their produce. The brochure gives you a nice input about the influence and dominance of this family and line. If you want to receive your own copy, you are welcome to contact us, or click here to see more in a PDF file!

In February 2006, we started our project with the new
"ASH Training Stables" and engaged the talented, young
Austrian Sabrina Joiser as trainer.
This was half-a-year ago, and we are very happy with the
decision and results. The training work and success improve
that we are on a right way.

Pictured left, ASH Trainer Sabrina Joiser, and Diplomatt.

The weekend of 15th/16th of July 2006 and the C-rated show in Fronville, Belgium, turned out for "Arabian Sun Horses" and it's team to a happy and successful event:

ASH's studfarm trainer, Sabrina Joiser, showed three of our homebred youngsters with very nice success - yearling filly Dahlia (CH El Brillo x Dahma) became 3rd in class, yearling colt Haroun (El Amin x Hanina) 2nd in class, and his one-year-older full brother, two-year-old Halim (El Amin x Hanina) was 1st in class. And last but not least, Haroun (pictured left, as weanling) had been also chosen as Junior Reserve Champion Colt.

The success of Psy Dream (Psytadel x La Diva), bred by "Arabian Sun Horses" continues:
at the 2006 Midland Arabian Festival, held on 24th & 25th of June in Malvern, Great Britain,ECAHO judge Dr. Mark Trela, Director of Janow Podlaski Stud in Poland, did choose Psy Dream
to be the Junior Champion Colt reserve. Congratulations again to the Smith family, who achieved this yearling colt from us a few months ago as weanling!

May 2006

Last weekend, on 21st of May, 2006, we entered with our new team the first show this year and are happy about the immediate success: at the national C-show in Oud-Heverlee, Belgium, Sabrina Joiser, our trainer of the ASH Show Stables, showed two of our youngsters for a very first time - homebred yearling filly Dahlia (CH El Brillo x Dahma) who became 2nd in class; and homebred two-year-old Halim (El Amin x Hanina) who became Junior Reserve Champion Colt (pictured).

The broodmares are definetely the present and future treasures of "Arabian Sun Horses"(ASH), and breeding will be the main focus for us.
However, in 2006, "Arabian Sun Horses" will set up a new "ASH Show Stable" and will return to the European showring to compete at the National and International level. ASH have engaged experienced Austrian, Sabrina Joiser as assistant trainer, and she will prepare  and condition the horses, and they will be  shown by Tom and Glenn Schoukens, and Philippe Loyens, three of the most talented young trainers from Belgium.

From 2004 up to the 2006 breeding season, we leased  some of our valuable broodmares to breeders from Germany, Italy, and Great Britain. The foals have already been born, and we are happy that our clients are very satisfied with their results and decision to  choose our mares and bloodlines. We are now looking forward to  the next foals born for our clients in 2006 and 2007.

Following her success at the 2004 European Championships, Haniyyah and the Jones family received an invitation to the 2005 DIAHC (Dubai Int'l Arabian Horse Championships) in March 2005!
For the breeder, Ingrid Bentchikou, and for the owners, the Jones family, this was an exciting experience! Flying from Belgium and Great Britain toward east and Dubai, from cold winter temperatures and snow to beautiful and most convenient summer temperatures in the United Arab Emirates in March, and to see their 3-year-old filly Haniyyah competing in the Emirates. Only for this experience it would have been worth to make all efforts. But "Whow", the filly and Rhodri made us a very special moment attending: Haniyyah became named "Champion Filly reserve" again! And the "dream" was not over - as the Jones', her owners, got another special "trophy" and award for this success: a brandnew car!!!! A real fairy tale ....!

Great success  has been achieved our 2002 born filly Haniyyah (Psytadel x Hanina) at the European Championships in 2004: she became named "European Champion Filly reserve"!
Haniyyah is bred by "Arabian Sun Horses". In 2002, as a baby, she  was sold to the Jones Family, from Wales, United Kingdom. Rhodri Jones has shown her since, and he is always able to present this filly allowing her to display her greatest asset, her fantastic trot! 

The "Arabian Futurity Europe" Auction was held and started up in 2003, and the bids on the first collection of stallions and breedings  was done.
End of September 2004, when the foals of this breedings' auction had been born, the first "Arabian Futurity Show" was held in Aachen with a foal class for each, fillies and colts.
For his owner, Mr. Leonhard Becker, from Germany, who had leased our mare La Diva to breeding, the weanling colt BK Joel (Psytadel x La Diva) succeeded as second placed colt. Congratulations!
