Perhaps the greatest lesson any breeder learns or realizes over the years of breeding Arabian horses is that the results of breeding is anything but guaranteed. However, with that said – lining up pedigrees that have proven to be consistent in producing outstanding individuals will always rise to the top. Discovered as a yearling at Sandro Pinha’s Arabians International in Scottsdale, it was no surprise Alesia was as exquisite as she was – it was almost expected, as Rae-Dawn Arabians was no stranger to her pedigree, having incorporated the blood of her dam into their show and breeding program in the past; only this time it was a new sire line being introduced into the formula creating a whole new dimension.
Alesia ENB was generations in the making. Bred by Michael Weinstein’s Psynergy Enterprise Developments LLC out of California, Alesia’s pedigree is exceptional and so well thought out. Hailing from an exquisite family of National and International prestige, Alesia’s winning and national champion producing sire Atticus ENB is a son of the great European Bábolna bred El Nabila B, a Brazilian and U.S. National Champion Stallion who has decorated almost every continent where Arabian horses are bred with refinement and strong structure, creating solid foundations for many of the finest breeding programs around the world. Crossing in the ethereal beauty of Om El Benedine, a daughter of Sanadik El Shaklan, and tail female to breed legend Estopa, a mare line descending from internationally acclaimed Om El Arab’s finest mare lines to ever grace the planet, the result is a combination that could not be more electric.
Alesia ENB’s dam, Aliyah Vision PCF, forges together a combination of both beauty and athleticism – herself being a daughter of PCF Vision, himself a son of Marwan Al Shaqab and the spectacular Versace daughter Veronica GA. Through a line to DA Valentino offered by granddam Maria PCF, her pedigree blends in the greats of Afire Bey V, Padrons Psyche, and Echo Magnifficoo. Of course, this pedigree has brought Rae-Dawn Arabians a tremendous amount of joy and success, such as her older maternal sister, Giana Leah PCF, 2018 Scottsdale Junior Champion Filly, 2018 U.S. National Champion Yearling Filly and 2019 U.S. National Champion Two-Year-Old Filly, who continues to capture admirers the world over and play an important role in the Rae- Dawn program by making a statement as a world-class breeding mare; while younger brother RD Alidoro dazzled the crowd as this year’s 2022 U.S. National Top Ten Yearling Colt.
Alesia ENB has created a sparkle all her own. As a yearling, she was crowned 2021 Arabian Breeders World Cup Silver Champion Yearling Filly and received the highest score and award for best movement of the show. In April of this year, she acquired the title of 2022 Region 7 Unanimous Champion Two-Year-Old Filly, which brought us to this year’s 2022 U.S. National Championships, where she was masterfully presented by Mr. Alcides Rodrigues, Rae-Dawn Arabians’ resident trainer and manager, to National Champion Two-Year-Old Filly honors. Aside from her big red rose win, Alesia ENB also claimed a top spot in the inaugural Breeding Pays 2-Year- Old Filly Futurity with owner Mr. Murray Popplewell.
Just as unique as Alesia ENB is, it is perhaps also the collaboration amongst fellow breeders and lovers of the Arabian horse which is truly what makes her all the more special. One filly representing the lifelong dedication of some of the finest breeding programs in the world, including Om El Arab, PCF Arabians, and Psynergy Enterprise Development; a tremendous group with lots of goodness all the way around with so much to be celebrated.
What’s on the horizon for this beautiful filly? Well, that is yet to be determined. For now, it is rest and relaxation after a very wonderful and fulfilling year.
