FA EL RASHEEM

The El Rasheem Story, One might say that the story of FA El Rasheem starts on the day of his birth – May 12, 2011, the day a promising bay son sired by the Marwan son FA El Shawan and out of the Versace daughter Virtuosa MLR was born. But a true steward of Arabian horse breeding knows well that stories like this start long before. One could say that it starts with knowledgeable and artful breeders – George and Marlene Rieder - who made the now momentous decision to breed the beautiful Virtuosa to El Shawan; One could stay it starts with the blood of great stallions such as that from the living legend Marwan A Shaqab or that from the great Versace; One could certainly argue it starts many years previously – perhaps hundreds – perhaps even thousand s of years previously. But regardless of where one starts the story, it all leads to a magical moment when genetic ingredients culminates in a magical result – in this case – a magical result indeed in the promising young colt, El Rasheem.
