FA El Rasheem - The Revolution

Few Arabian stallions have reshaped modern breeding as profoundly as FA El Rasheem. Admired for his extraordinary beauty, exceptional pedigree, and remarkable ability to sire champions, he has become one of the defining Arabian horses of the twenty-first century. His influence can be seen not only in show rings across the world, but also in the pedigrees of a new generation of elite Arabian horses. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bred from Greatness

Foaled in 2011, FA El Rasheem was bred by Marlene Ann Rieder and combines some of the most influential bloodlines in modern Arabian horse history. He is the son of FA El Shawan, himself a son of the legendary Marwan Al Shaqab, and out of Virtuosa MLR, a daughter of Versace and granddaughter of Ali Jamaal. 

His pedigree represents an extraordinary concentration of internationally successful bloodlines, bringing together the influence of Marwan Al Shaqab, Gazal Al Shaqab, Versace, Ali Jamaal, Fame VF, and El Shaklan. Few modern stallions possess a pedigree of such depth and proven excellence. 

From an early age, FA El Rasheem displayed the qualities that would later make him famous: exceptional Arabian type, refinement, balance, and unmistakable presence. 

​

A Stallion That Captivated the Show Ring

FA El Rasheem quickly emerged as one of the most admired young horses of his generation.

His early achievements included:

• Gold Champion Junior Colt at Menton (2014). 

• Silver Champion Junior Colt at the World Arabian Horse Championship in Paris (2014). 

As he matured, his reputation continued to grow, not only because of his own success but because of the remarkable consistency with which he passed his qualities to future generations. 

Owned by Dubai Arabian Horse Stud, FA El Rasheem became one of the cornerstone stallions of the program and a horse whose influence would soon extend far beyond his individual show results.

Creating a New Generation of Champions

While FA El Rasheem earned worldwide recognition through his own beauty and show-ring achievements, his greatest influence has come through his offspring.

Year after year, he has proven himself a consistent producer of elite Arabian horses, transmitting the elegance, refinement, balance, and Arabian type that made him famous. His progeny have earned major championships throughout Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, establishing him as one of the most successful sires of the modern era. 

Among his most celebrated sons is D Seraj, one of the most decorated Arabian stallions of recent years. D Seraj's achievements include titles such as World Champion Senior Stallion, All Nations Cup Gold Champion Stallion, Menton Gold Champion Stallion, and Dubai International Gold Champion Stallion, making him one of the most successful representatives of the FA El Rasheem legacy. 

Another outstanding son is D Borkan, who rapidly emerged as one of the most successful young horses of his generation. His victories include the World Arabian Horse Championship Supreme Gold Champion Junior Colt title as well as multiple international Gold Championships across the GCAT circuit and Dubai International Championship. 

FA El Rasheem's influence is also reflected through horses such as Berwaz Al Bustan, a multiple Gold Champion stallion whose success in national and international competition further strengthened the reputation of the sire line. 

Together with numerous other winning sons and daughters bred by leading programs around the world, these horses helped establish FA El Rasheem as a stallion capable of producing champions generation after generation.

The World's Leading Sire

                                                        The quality and consistency of FA El Rasheem's offspring earned him repeated                                                                             recognition as one of the world's premier breeding stallions.

                                                        Over the years, he received multiple Best Sire awards at major international                                                                                    championships, a distinction awarded to stallions whose offspring collectively achieve                                                                exceptional success. These honors reflect not only the number of his winning progeny                                                                but also their achievements at the highest levels of international competition. 

                                                        His sons and daughters continue to expand his influence through breeding programs across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America. 

 

A Legacy Still Unfolding

Unlike many legendary stallions whose influence can only be evaluated in hindsight, FA El Rasheem continues to shape the breed today.

The success of his offspring and descendants has firmly established him as one of the most important breeding stallions of his generation. Through horses such as D Seraj, D Borkan, Berwaz Al Bustan, and countless others, his legacy continues to grow with each passing year. 

More than a champion, more than a sire, FA El Rasheem has become a cornerstone of modern Arabian horse breeding and a stallion whose impact will be felt for generations to come.
